HELP: WP 4.9.8; bbPress 2.5.15; site: azor.vip

Hello, I am a senior citizen noob building a one-off site. I wish to post admin questions from my backend what will appear live on my site.

I have written my post and clicked on Published. Nothing happens. Some time ago when I asked this same question, I was told to do something with shortcodes. I became frustrated because I don’t know what a shortcode is, where I find it, and what I do with it. So I am re-visiting my original question.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some steps.

so you have gone to

dashboard>topics>create new topic and filled in

Title (it won’t publish without one)
Content

Did you say what forum you wanted it published in (right hand side)

Thank you for this! I was instead going to Forums < New Topic, so I was entering data in the wrong location.
I have followed your steps, and this gives me what I want. Thank you!
