    @rsg2

    hello

    i have a wordpress site with bbpress installed. i have 3 subforums in bbpress. on the homepage of my wordpress site, i would like to list out those 3 forums with the lastest 5 posts from each.

    please take a look at this image:

    the styling doesn’t have to look like the attached as long as i can list out the individual subforums and 5 of its most recent posts.

    i have setup 3 columns with ability to put shortcodes.

    i tried using some of the shortcodes provided by bbpress with no luck.

    SOS please!!! i’m running out of options…lol

    thanks in advance,

    chris

    Not a quick answer – how well are you able to code?

    yes, start with

    bbp additional shortcodes

    This list the last 5 topics across all the forums, and your friend should be able to crack it open

    the end function

    function rw_display_topic_index_query( $args = array() ) {
    		global $show ;
    		$args['author']        = 0;
    		$args['show_stickies'] = true;
    		$args['order']         = 'DESC';
    		$args['posts_per_page'] = $show ;
    		return $args;
    	}

    just needs an extra parameter to get the right forum,

    If you get him to also look at

    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes

    he’ll find some useful code to do that

    PS in the spirit of open software, when he has cracked it, can you post the solution on here so others can use, I quite fancy it for the footer of one of my website’s home page !!
