@cbsy lots of ways to achieve this – two below
1. Look in
Dashboard>settings>forums>Forum Root slug, and see what ‘forum root’ is set to
The create a page with this name on it – so title the page this
The in that page write whatever intro you want, and then put
[bbp-forum-index] at the bottom of the content
bbpress will then use this page as your forum root.
2.
Add the following to your functions file
add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index' , 'my_intro' ) ;
Function my_intro () {
Echo '<div class="entry-content"> Here is my intro text. This is lots of writing to introduce the forums and make people read this stuff </div>' ;
}
