Forum description for sub-forums?

[Jeff S.]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to display the forum description in a sub-forum (i.e. the forum has a parent specified)?

WP 4.4.2
Boss 2.1.6
bbPress 2.5.8

Hi @jschodde, Please add the following function in your child theme’s function.php

function rw_singleforum_description() {
  echo '<div class="bbp-forum-content">';
  echo bbp_forum_content();
  echo '</div>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'rw_singleforum_description');

Regards

This works thanks! Now I just need some way to adjust the margins to match the header somewhat. Maybe 30px left and right. I tried this but nothing happened:

echo '<div class="bbp-forum-content"; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;>';

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I gave it a user-defined class and then added some CSS. Seems to work.

.tr-forum-desc-header {
    padding:30px;
}
