    @Robkk thanks for that. I had googled setting the order and found apparently some OLD results saying it could not be done. So I created an entire forum index page from scratch to overcome the issue! At least it looks good!

    Many thanks for your reponses.

    I’m doing that with the template files already, which is great. So do I need to call the bbpress-functions.php file with my custom page or will it load automatically?

    Are you saying that you want to move the bbpress-functions.php file into your theme to make it easier to customize the functions already in the plugin??

    YES @robkk. Just didn’t want to redeclare the functions. Will that be an issue? If I can pull in whole functions.php then a whole new world will open up.

    I see the files
    common/functions.php
    theme/core… Wait a sec I just found it…

    Inside bbpress/templates/default/bbpress-functions.php

    So I just call that from my custom page I guess?


    @casiepa
    yes I do. I’m creating an outside of bbpress page which is a threaded forum view with some extra features. I did not create a forum myself, though the thought crossed my mind until I found bbp.

    Thanks Robkk. It’s a little unorthodox but I’ve got the hang of it. Being able to arrange the forums in a particular order in the back end is a sorely needed feature.

    What does the number in this field represent?

    Hi TKServer,
    I see several questions here from you and they seem to indicate you want to create topics and replies yourself by creating the posts and adding the metadata yourself.
    I would propose you really check bbpress functions that exist that do this for you autmatically, so you don’t need to worry about what exact metadata to add.
    Pascal.

    Yes that’s a great solution. The problem is that I’m doing it outside of the bbpress application. Any thoughts? For now I’ve taken the function that writes and new post and new meta and modified it to work with my custom page.

    Where is a listing of all of these functions?

    Okay so I may be getting the hang a little bit better.

    Sports (category)
    –Football (forum)
    —(topics go inside)

    Seem right?
