Hello, I have successfully installed BBpress and have it displayed on a forums page. I would like to have 2 different forums pages, one for investors and one for developers. I have created several forums, however, I would like to display certain ones on one page and certain forums on another. How do I accomplish this? Do I have to have have all forums display on the same page?

Wordpress = 5.8.1
BBpress = 2.6.6

Site = http://www.cryptobeya.com

create 2 categories and make your forums subs of these, create 2 pages and use a shortcode in each

[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] where $forum_id is the category

Thank you, that makes sense. When I add the short code to each page, you say $forum Id = the category. Where can I find the forum Id for the category? Is that just the name of the category?

The name of my category id Coin Forum. What should go in the $forum_id space below?

[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id]

go to

dashboard>forums>all forums> and then hover over the ‘edit’ button of the forum, and you will see a url appear in the bottom left hand corner of your browser – the number in that is the number of the forum

Thank you. I tried that, however it displays the “create new topic” form and not the forum list. Is that shortcode correct?
