Hey there. Question see above. I’d like to make bbpress show the parent and their according subforums/categories in forum root like this:

Forum1
-Subforum1a
-Subforum1b
-Subforum1c

Forum2
-Subforum2a
-Subforum2b

etc.

but the root shows me only

Forum1

Forum2

and the subcats are only shown when entering the parent forums.

Is there any way to display it as I wish?

Thanks in advance.

the forums you want to be categories , edit each forum and change the type to category.

for each forum you want to be a forum to that category ,edit the forum and add a parent to be that specific category.

to reorder all the forums change the order number.

this is how the order of each forum should be in the end. after the dash is the order number.

category one – 0
forum 1 – 1
forum 2 – 2
category two – 3
forum 3 – 4
forum 4 – 5
forum 5 – 6
category three – 7
forum 6 – 8

Is it possible to show the forums within categories straight in the index?

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Templates
