I am using WordPress 3.4.2 and I would like to display the latest questions (last 5 or 10 Qs) in my static homepage. There is a way to add some code to my template and display bbpress questions?

Thanks,

Hi, thanks for the answer, but I meant in the theme as inside of the PHP template files. How could I bring for example the latest questions to the front static homepage.

Thanks

[Shane GowlandParticipant @thewebatom 6 months, 3 weeks ago]

echo do_shortcode('

Of course; there is a performance overhead involved with making WordPress parse the shortcode before displaying the content. Using WP_Query and creating a custom loop would be the ideal method, but it’s also much trickier.
