BBPress 2.0: How to use shortcodes?

   Hello,

   I have searched both here and on WordPress.org for how to use shortcodes and still can't seem to get it right.

   I have a custom WordPress theme that is based on the stock twenty-eleven theme. I have created a child theme in order to add styling for my BBPress forum.

   I'm hoping to mimic a style similar to the forums here on bbpress.org with the forum listings on the side. Am I correct this can be accomplished? If so, where do I include the shortcodes?

   Thank you in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

   Shortcodes go in a page, but you can also use them in themes and plugins using the <?php echo do_shortcode( $content ); ?> function.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

   So in your theme you would put this somewhere:
   <?php echo do_shortcode('[bbp-forum-index]'); ?>
