   How do I make bbpress 2 to display on the front page (root level)?

   I just installed WordPress 3.3 with the bbPress 2.0.2 plug-in for http://example.com

   But do see the actual forum, you have to go to http://example.com/?post_type=forum

   How to I make ?post_type=forum display on the frontpage of http://example.com ?

   The 'default' way to do this would be to create a page and place the forums shortcode on the page. Then in the settings/reading assign that page to the front. Of course you would also want to create a blog page and use a blog template for that page in order to display your posts.

   I can't find the appropriate short codes to use.

   Do you know what they are?

   I found this page: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

   But when I paste the following on a newly created WordPress page, nothing is displayed:

   [bbp-single-forum id=1]

   The above works, I just didn't refresh.

   Problem: When I create a page, it's displaying the forum topics as I like; however, it's also displaying at the bottom of the WordPress Page a place to "Leave a Reply".

   It looks like the page thinks it's a blog post and wants to allow the person to leave a comment.

   How do I set the page to now allow wordpress comments on the page?
