HI

My embryonic site is at http://www.morebusinessnetwork.co.uk/forums/forum/general-discussion/

I have 3.9.3 (and I can’t easily update at the moment) and have just downloaded bbPress

I have created two forums that have no parents – ‘re-engage with out speaker’ and ‘more business network’

On settings I have forum root = forums and forum index as what should show.

There are two or three posts in each forum

At the moment the landing page is showing ‘oh bother there are no topics in this forum’- which isn’t a lot of help.

I’d like it to show a list of the forums, and a list of the topics in that forum (say the last 5 etc)

How would I set that up please – happy to provide anymore info.

Many thanks in advance

Edward

create a bbpress.php and remove any post meta code like by (author) published (post date)

basically your theme thinks that the bbPress archive page is a blog post so it structures it like so , it keeps the forum limit low as if it was an excerpt.

this plugin will help you find the file you would need to copy and create a bbpress.php file from.
