Lets hope somebody will soon jump into this bbPress plugin code and start writing tutorials and info about different ways to list forums.
For myself i can say this is the best bbPress forum layout (listing) i’ve ever seen
simple used the insert code (which I was looking for but didn’t see and assumed not available) within my main template instead of using teh bbPress subtempate
At this point, after just test creating a few forums and topics, it looks like the plugin is “functioning” like it should. I can tell that it’s using some of the styles from my main theme style.css (colors, fonts etc), the MAIN PROBLEMS that I have now is the fact that it’s not taking to my page template widths in my main theme (gridlocked), it wont use a full-page-width template (or let me pick) and the default that it is probably using, is also supposed to be full width, plus something is wrong with the padding and it snugs too tight to the page edges
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ‘
‘ ) ); ?>
to:
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ‘
‘, ‘size’ => 100 ) ); ?>
it works and i got my result
If you changed the BBPress Forums base name to “theboards”, then make a new wordpress page with the same permalink “theboards”. So your forum will be located at mywebsite.com/theboards, regardless of if you create new forums or topics, theres nothing there. Create a page, pop in that shortcode or any of the ones at the link below and ZAP BOOM POW, go to mywebsite.com/theboards and its there! lol

Here are some screenshots to show you what I mean;
function bbp_title_max_length( $default = ’70’ ) {
echo bbp_get_title_max_length( $default );
}
INSERT INTO bb_forums (forum_id , forum_name, forum_desc, forum_parent, forum_order, topics, posts) VALUES (‘6’, ‘Bike of the Month’, ‘Each month we will showcase a different member’s bike’, ‘5’, ‘8’, ‘0’, ‘0’)
