    I’m not quite sure what you are asking.

    Can you put a link to your forums, and say what you want where

    thanks

    Hi Robin,

    did you view the link I posted above in the first post?

    Here is an explanation of the phpBB docs:

    LINK
    The forum list displays a forum link like a normal forum. But instead of linking to a forum, you can point it to a URL of your choice. It can display a hit counter, which shows how many times the link was clicked.

    (source: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.0/ug/adminguide/forums_types/ )

    So its just a additional “type” next to category and forum.

    I hope now its a bit clearer, what Im trying to archive 🙂

    so like post formats but for bbPress post types??

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats

    there is a function below in the post to implement it , but i think it will only show in the back-end of wordpress and is not implemented in the front-end just yet

    Ok just to be sure, compare these two images:

    Thats the way it looks in phpBB, when you want to create a new “Forum”

    Thats the way it looks in bbpress, when you want to create a new “Forum”

    Notice the “Link” dropdown item?

    Thats what Im taking about 😉

    alright so basically it does what this plugin does

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/

    your forum title will show like any normal forum but if you click it , it will link to whatever you want.

    works pretty good when i tested it out, it wont show in the status drop-down though it will show in another meta-box somewhere below the post content.
