[Support request] text inside the field

[Dominik]

Hi. How to put text in a text input field. I don’t want text like “username” above the input field. I want it to show up inside this field and disappear when the user starts completing.

Hi there,

What field are you referring to here?

The theme itself doesn’t add any field by default.

to fields on the bbpress forum.
example: “Reply To: text inside the field” I want it to appear inside the field. is it possible?

This is something you will need to check with bbPress’ support team.

I’d assume they have filters for things like these.

[Dominik]

add_filter( 'bbp_get_the_content', 'amend_reply', 10, 3);

Function amend_reply ($output, $args, $post_content) {
if ($args['context'] == 'reply' && $post_content == '') $output=str_replace('></textarea>', 'placeholder="Reply..." ></textarea>',$output) ;
return $output ;
}

This code works. I cannot post on the bbpress forum yet. I have a question .. How do I apply this code to other fields? e.g. e-mail and name. these fields appear for users who are not logged in.

I’m not sure unfortunately.

This isn’t something the theme support can help with so you will need to check with bbPress support team.

Thanks!
