Separating Forums into Groups

  • @devilwoif

    Participant

    Hi everyone,

    I’m trying to figure out how to separate my forums into groups… Basically what I want is:

    <Header>
    <Forum>
    <Sub-Forums>

    <space>

    <Header>
    <Forum>
    <Sub-Forums>

    and repeat. How do I do this?

    Sorry for bumping, but this is basically what I want to do:

    my plugin

    bbp additional shortcodes

    has a code

    [display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’] Displays the selected forum indexes

    which lets you organise the order of forums

    It does what I want it to do like the picture shown above?

    Your plugin doesn’t seem to work.

    Your plugin doesn’t seem to work.

    If you want help, please explain further – the above is just not helpful.

    Sorry. I mean, I tried the shortcodes in my page but the forums aren’t separating the way I need them to like in my picture. The codes dont seem to work… I added the stat code that shows how many users and that works but the rest of the codes don’t work.

    I put the correct forum ID and everything and they weren’t showing. Is there something that I’m missing?

    Is there something that I’m missing?

    possibly.

    but the rest of the codes don’t work.

    This again isn’t really helpful. What do you mean by ‘don’t work’ – nothing shows? something shows but it is not what you want? a picture would be useful.

    I cannot help unless I get detailed problems 🙂

    Another way to cheat a little is to make an actual page, call it yourdomain-forums

    Then you could add the existing shortcode from BBpress like this

    <h1>title of category 1</h1>
    [bbp-single-forum id=XX]

    <h1>title of category 2</h1>
    [bbp-single-forum id=XX]

    Then make a link in your menu to that page

    I am doing it here

    follow this link

    download the .zip

    use this forums.php file inside and add in your child theme in a folder called bbpress
