WP 6.4.2, bbPress 2.6.9, site https://perfectlyokay.org/ (members only)

For admin reasons we need to create a bunch of new topics in a particular forum that we’d like NOT to show up on page 1 of bbp-topic-index as they’ll push other topics that people might actually be interested in off the main Forums page. Is there any way of doing this?

OK so I found the shortcode [bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum =’10,11,12′] which should have done what we want if we’d specified all forums except the one we want excluded.

However, this doesn’t seem to work properly, only two of the six forums specified have topics displayed despite all six being represented in the default view (15 topics, using [bbp-topic-index]).

Shortcode actually used: [bbp-display-topic-index show=’15’ forum =’283,285,515,523,1159,21099′]

that shortcode is from bbp-style-pack plugin and should read

[bsp-display-topic-index show='5' forum ='10,11,12']

note bsp-display… not bbp-display…

bbp style pack

for details, go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

Thanks for that. But this is quite confusing, the form I used was copied from dashboard>settings>shortcodes>additional shortcodes.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year ago]

ok, that is neither a bbpress or bbp-style-pack plugin.

what other bbpress related plugins do you have?

[@robinfaichney Participant 1 year ago]

There’s bbP last post, bbP private groups, bbP Quote, bbP shortcodes as well as bbp style pack.

We decided to use child forums instead of topics for this purpose which solved the issue described above but created another, see new thread.
