Re: How do I use the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] shortcode in a template file?
I can’t think of much, except for adding a warning stating that if the Forums base is “forums”, then the forums archive is going to override the page http://www.mysite.com/forums if the person chooses to make a forums page at that location.
On the opposite end, it should be noted that IF they want to put a forums page in that location, then they can’t use “forums” as their archive base.
Sometimes there is a warning that certain pages conflict with each other or with pages in the WordPress installation. I think that if both a WordPress page/post and a forums base/slug are the same “word”, that the error should say more than just “possible conflict”. I think it should say that the slugs or bases will override your WordPress page or post, and explicitly state that those pages or posts won’t show the WordPress page or post content as intended.
Helpful and informative warning messages are indispensable. Vague ones aren’t understood and are soon ignored…
