Perfect! Many thanks Stephen and Ronthal
I’m using the Dynamik Website Builder, so it was pretty easy to create a widgetized page.
Without a website builder some methods of widgetizing a page can be found by googling [create a widgetized page template] or perhaps by using a plugin.
Then I retrieved the Forum ID’s by viewing the Forum’s page source, or editing the Forum in WP Admin and looking at the post ID in the URL.
eg. /wp-admin/post.php?post=4540&action=edit
Then I simply put two widgets into my custom widget area with their respective IDs and set the number of topics to 10.
There is no styling, which is a good thing – I can style it how I want now.
Seems like a good suggestion, ronthal.. thanks, I’ll try it
Thanks for the detailed reply, Stephen. I probably meant Forum Root rather than Forum Index, but the way you describe it is exactly what I’m after.
I had considered what to do about the list getting too long and it will almost certainly be a matter of listing only the freshest 10 topics per forum. Clicking the Forum title would take you to the full list.
Now that I know where to begin I’ll probably figure it out eventually (new to BBPress but not afraid of code), but if you have some suggestions on where to get started or even a block of code to copy-paste I certainly wouldn’t object to using it : )
If get around to it first I’ll post my findings here for the knowledge base.
