bbpress forum description element header template tag?
3 replies · Started by Webmaster on July 29, 2021
if you have bbpress installed and create a new forum called "general" and on the forum creation page, I added a description called "Just general chat".... how do I find the template tag that I can use in the header element to display this? What is the template tag I can use to display the forum description?
I tried "{{post_description}}" and "{{post_excerpt}}" and a few other things but nothing is showing "Just general chat".
Might you know, if there is there a debug addon that I can install to just show me all the template tags being invoked on page load?
Hi there,
GP wouldn't have a template tag built-in for bbPress.
You could check with bbPress support to see if the description is a custom field.
If that's the case then you might be able to use a block element with dynamic content:

Thanks Leo,

Hi there,
not aware of a specific plugin that will show the Template tags, but Query Monitor will show you the templates, template parts and any functions resulting from them:
