Placing forum topics on front page and removing Latest Discussions

   I only have one forum, so there is no point in BBPress giving me a seperate front page and Latest Disussions list. Is there an elegant way for me to integrate the sidebar into the forum listings page? I tried chopping up the templates but I can't seem to get the code right.

   a-ha - i've managed to do this but now i just need a way to safely redirect users to the forum rather than the front page.

   Do you have access to .htaccess on an Apache server? You could just put this in your .htaccess file:

   Redirect 301 /forums/index.php http://www.example.com/forums/forum-1/

   Without knowing your two URLs, it's hard to guess, but it can be done fairly easily like this.

   thanks - in the end i used a PHP redirect on front-page.php which seems to be working fine. i moved the tags and other sections from front-page.php to forum.php which worked (doing it the other way around didn't work).
   thanks for replying.
