Hi, just a quick question about this new feature that has been in the pipeline for some time:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2498

there is already a plugin that provides this functionality (http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/) and it is being used already on the official sites here so I’m curious why it isn’t a done deal?

thank you!

just realized that the way I worded it may seem to suggest that the “bbpress post topics plugin” is being used here to provide this functionality but acually I don’t know if that is the case or not, just that forum threads instead of comments are here on a live site and working

It can be done in a roundabout manner by using a shortcode. You insert a topic with the [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] tag and voila, you’ve got a post which displays/links a topic.

[Asynaptic]

where do you put the shortcode?

the shortcode goes in say page content.

so create a page and put

[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]
