bulletin board

[deheugden]

hello,

Is it possible to create one forumitem as a bulletinboard and put it directly at the mainpage of my website so everyone(even guests) can read but only registered users can add content?

if so, how?

many thanks for any help.

Hi @deheugden,

Thank you for your interest in wpForo and for contacting us.

I apologize for the late response.

Please follow the steps below:
1. Create a new category desirable to choose the threaded layout. More info here: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/categories-and-forums/forum-layouts/threaded-layout/
2. Set the category on the homepage via shortcode as described here: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/getting-started/forum-page/wpforo-shortcodes/

You can use wpForo as Stand-alone forum on front-end, doc here: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/getting-started/forum-page/turn-wordpress-to-wpforo/

I’d also recommend you check out the wpForo doc for Forum Accesses:
https://wpforo.com/docs/root/wpforo-settings/forum-accesses/

many thanks for the reply. I am testing it but it is still somewhat confusing.

Ineed to stick a post at the mainpage of my forum to be able to use this as a kind of a bulletin board. After reading the provided info, i dont see how i can select a specific post(by use of the threaded layout) to stick at the mainpage of my website.

Is that possible?

ok @deheugden,

For example, if you like to add the topic with ID = 10 on the home page you should add the following shortcode on homepage content:

[wpforo item=”topic” id=”10″]

You can find the topic ID by moving the mouse to the RSS button, as shown in the screenshot:

[deheugden]

?type=rss2&forum=9&topic=0

i dont think a topic 0 can be correct, at least when i use [wpforo item=”topic” id=”0″] at the forum page,

i get a
Forum – Page Not Found

notification
