I want to show a single topic on my homepage, on top of the page.
When I use the shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] it pulls the bbpress forum sidebar widget as well. I am not sure if it’s incompatibility with the theme or normal behavior.

Is there PHP code I could use instead to pull a single topic? Maybe I could then use that to create a custom template for the homepage.

Thanks in advance

ok, not totally sure I understand.

so you are putting the actual topic_id in ?

eg

[bbp-single-topic id=265]

and not sure I understand what ‘it pulls the bbpress forum sidebar widget ‘ means – do you have a link to a live example?

[Stephen B]

Thanks for replying and yes, I am using the topic ID and it’s showing the correct topic.
The issue is that the shortcode is displaying the forum sidebar in addition to the topic.
You can see here a screenshot of the source code https://ibb.co/2PS9qW1

You can see an example page now here:

The shortcode also uses the page title (where the shortcode is pasted) instead of the topic title.
Is it because of incompatibility with the theme?

ok, thanks.

I cannot see why it would do this, unless it thinks it is a bbpress page and should add the sidebar.

Is it doing this for any bbpress shortcode – maybe as a test try some others and then come back

[Stephen B]

Yes, I’ve tried the other shortcodes as well and the same issue happens with all of them

ok, I can only suggest you try another theme and confirm whether it is a theme issue – if so you may need to reach out to the theme authors.
