Lost Shoutbox

Crap. I was trying to change the settings on my Shoutbox so that it only appears on the main page of my forum and not anywhere else. Saw a thread from 2014 here with the same question and tried to follow it; botched it, of course. I deleted $[shoutbox] from the Wrapper and tried to put it under Home, but couldn't find the right location and now it's not showing up at all. Help? 

I really need to stop tinkering with the code before I blow up the entire thing.

Thanks.

sef1268, where exactly would you like the shoutbox to be on the main page?

At the bottom, where it was originally located, but I was hoping to hide it on all the other pages. Is there a way I can do this and not botch up the layout?
Thanks.

Shouldn't be an issue, but before I looked further, just wanted to know for sure what you were trying to achieve.

Thanks! Greatly appreciate it.

sef1268 ,

Go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates, Home template.

Find lines 24/25 and add the shoutbox variable between them.



So i should look like this:

{/if}
$[shoutbox]
{if $[show_stats]}
Since you have the info section disabled, this will put the shoutbox at the bottom of the page and only on this page.

PERFECT! Thanks again!
