Hello, please try by adding this to functions.php of child theme

COPY CODE

function redirect_homepage() {
    if( ! is_home() && ! is_front_page() )
        return;

    wp_redirect( 'http://yourwebsite.com/forums', 301 );
    exit;
}

nope, an error tells us we cannot do this,
I’ve seen probably our hosting automatically update WordPress to 4.9.2 and this may cause a problem, do you have already planned a new update compatibility for latest WordPress version?

so instead we have created a new page, paste inside the shortcode ([bbp-forum-index]), but the search field is completely wrong!
please check this screenshots:
1. our new homepage http://prntscr.com/i26ooq
2. forum page http://prntscr.com/i26ped

we just want to set a new page like the forum page with some notes on top and other stuff in the bottom. if we can’t do this. if this is not possible, what do you suggest?

mmm, i don’t think so.
we already can’t change the forum layout.
but we have talked about another ticket yet, so we wait for the answer,
but by the way, what the first code is for?
the one you suggest to add in functions.php?

[Laura]

Hello, the code was to move the search form as the screenshot you sent me 🙂

nope, i mean this:

COPY CODE

function redirect_homepage() {
    if( ! is_home() && ! is_front_page() )
        return;

    wp_redirect( 'http://yourwebsite.com/forums', 301 );
    exit;
}

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_homepage' );

Is it for the community and homepage forum layout?
we solve this and answer in this ticket: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/start-a-new-topic-button

thanks a lot for your precious help.
have a wonderful day

Hello, that code redirects from home to forum but you need to change the url “yourwebsite.com”

thanks a lot, we think this code is no use anymore.
we write it down in a note, just in further case.
thanks for your help, we really appreciate it!

[Laura]

No problem 🙂 I’m here if you need me
