Reply To: How to display all forum elements on actual pages?
Well I think @jovito just put shortcodes in a regular WordPress static page and just wants how it looks to be across all bbPress pages, and that is where the bbpress.php would help.
with a custom file bbpress.php in my theme, would it be directed to that page when I hit submit for a new topic or new reply, instead of the topic page mentioned above?
The bbpress templates using theme compatibility will use a template like page.php or bbpress.php in your theme, but the topic page content will be inside of the loop of that template. Instead of using a bbpress.php file, you can put single-topic.php from the extras folder and customize it and place it in your child theme root for a template specific to a single topic page.
Is there sth like a template for the display of topics?
These are all the templates that are being used in a single topic. Using single-topic.php in the root of your child theme will be the main template being used instead of a bbpress.php template or a page.php template.
Also @jovito what kind of options for shortcodes are you talking about??
