How can I have a master button/link that says “Start Discussion” that links to a post form page? On that page would be a drop down menu for which forum/topic your post will be made to.

I am hoping someone already made a plugin for this posting page feature but I cant seem to find it.

This seems like a feature that should already be built into BBPress. Maybe it already is and I missed ?

Much appreciated.

I see this forum has a similar page that I am look to create…

Create New Topic

Any suggestions on how I can create this page?
It doesnt seen to be part of the bbpress plugin out of the box.

Thanks,
Robert

1. create a page
2. put one of these two shortcodes in it

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
 [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

3. add the page to your menu
