this is going to sound really stupid but im very new to this ive installed wordpress and then added the bbpress plugin – however i really odnt know how to get the forums to work as a button on my homepage – i am more than happy to give someone my admin login if they will sort it out for me – im sure it would take 2 minutes to someone who new what to do

thanks loads

Do you mean you want the bbPress to appear in the mainpage (http://www.yourdomain.com) but not sub pages? (http://www.yourdomain.com/forums)

I don’t think you need to give me the admin login info. It’s just a few step:

Create a page with the following shortcode:

[bbp-forum-index]

Navigate to Setting > Reading in your dashboard. In the “Front page displays” option, select the page you created as front page. Now the forum should show up in the mainpage.

That’s it!
