Show single topic on homepage with shortcode or php

I want to show a single topic on my homepage, on top of the page.
When I use the shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] it pulls the bbpress forum sidebar widget as well. I am not sure if it’s incompatibility with the theme or normal behavior.

Is there PHP code I could use instead to pull a single topic? Maybe I could then use that to create a custom template for the homepage.

Thanks in advance

ok, not totally sure I understand.

so you are putting the actual topic_id in ?

eg

[bbp-single-topic id=265]

and not sure I understand what ‘it pulls the bbpress forum sidebar widget ‘ means – do you have a link to a live example?

Thanks for replying and yes, I am using the topic ID and it’s showing the correct topic.
The issue is that the shortcode is displaying the forum sidebar in addition to the topic.
You can see here a screenshot of the source code https://ibb.co/2PS9qW1
