Hi all, I want to embed some code, so an embedded chat box appears above the main forum, on my forum front page:

https://percysgrowroom.com/forum/

So it will appear under the menu, but above the forum boxes, and within the side bar. 

I have the code to embed, I just don't know where to put it, will I have to edit theme files for Wforro?

Hi @percysgrowroom,

I'm sorry but I can't follow you. How can something be located in forum boxes and in the same time in the sidebar. So where exactly you'd like to locate it?

Yer i understand that wasn't clear, maybe this pic will help:

 

If i add the chat box code, above the Wpforro short code, it will show as full width, like the blue box in this picture

I need to embed it into the wpforro code, so it site within the side bars, like the red box does 🙂 HOpe this helps explain what I mean

@percysgrowroom,

You can use wpForo 'wpforo_top_hook'. Put this code in your active theme functions.php file. Replace the [chat-shortcode] with the real shortcode. If it doesn't work, contact to the chat plugin developers and ask them why it doesn't work through do_shortcode() function.

function my_chat_function(){
do_shortcode( '[chat-shortcode]' );
}
add_action('wpforo_top_hook', 'my_chat_function', 10);
