Greetings WordPress/bbPress people!

I have finally abandoned DotNetNuke in favor of WordPress. I have to say I am quite pleased with the simplicity with which I was able to set it up.

After looking around for what the Interwebs conclude is the best WP forum I selected this one.

After a ridiculously easy install I got bbPress up and running as well.

NOW… If I can only figure out how to add a forum to a page I would be on my way. I am sure this is an easy thing to do once you know how to do it…

Incidentally, my WP install is located at http://politicule.com/wp while my forums are at http://politicule.com/wp/?forum=politicule-community-forums-2&preview=true&preview_id=23&preview_nonce=86034f336b

I appreciate your assistance in advance!

PS… Please excuse the mess. I am still putting things together…

Perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way. In DNN & SharePoint there are Modules/Web Parts that are added to the page creating basically a mashup.

Being a “from scratch” WP newbie I am guessing that the same basic philosophy works for WP.

With that said, I do not see an option to add the forum module to a new page (ironically named “Forums”)

I anxiously await your replies…

Put [bbp-forum-index] as the content of the page if you want a list of forums displayed.

Put [bbp-topic-index] as the content of the page if you want a list of topics displayed.
