Hi guys!

Having a huge struggle trying to make a custom loop in bbPress. I’ve tried to find the solution for 2 days no but I’ve had it. I’m too sucky at both wordpress and php to make it on my own.

So what i want to do is to make a loop for my front-page.php that contains all of the forums (I think). Like this

And for you who doesn’t understand swedish I want to grab all the forums (with description if possible), and for every forum I want to show a counter of both topics and replies. As well as I want to grab the most recent topic, display the author and the time it was published.

Now I might be able to do that i i just know how to make a loop like you do it in wordpress (). So if anyone can be a champ and point me in the right direction I’d be forever thankful!

Okey… so I’ve got this:

But I get this error: “Call to undefined function bbp_forms()”

How do I get that function to work in front-page.php

Couldn’t you achieve this using bbPress’ shortcodes? Namely; [bbp-forum-index]

[bajs]

Nope, unfortunately not. I need full access to the outputs in order for me to place them where I want.

But I might have a solution, tho’ it involves changeing the files in bbpress plugin. Not sure if it’s the best idea…

I have the same question https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/custom-front-page/

Please if you know how to do that, post an answer.

Because bbPress is using custom post types you could use: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query.

See the part about taxonomy parameters, you can set the post_type to whatever you want.
