    Thank you for the question. There are multiple ways to do it. You can either use the action hook or do a template override.

    Based on your template pack( I am assuming Nouveau), you can copy the post-form.php from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/activity directory to your theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php and add the text as needed.

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh,
    I tried this shortcode in my functions.php (in Child Theme folder) but somehow I cannot get show up my inserted shortcode above the activity stream. What am I doing wrong?`

    // Add shortcode at the top of the page if page is activity
    add_action(‘kleo_before_main_content’, ‘add_myshort_activity_page_sqk’);
    function add_myshort_activity_page_sqk()
    {
    if (is_page(‘activity’)) {
    echo do_shortcode(‘[buddypressglobalsearch]<br>’);
    }
    }

    Hello Toury,

    Try the following code and let me know if it helps or not.

    

add_action( 'bp_before_directory_activity_content', function () {
	echo do_shortcode( '[buddypressglobalsearch]' );
} );

    Regards
    Ravi
