    Hi. The shortcodes in the style pack are so useful. Would it be possible to include one that turns this bbp shortcode:

    [bbp-single-reply id=$reply_id]

    into one being able to do this:

    [bbp-single-reply topic id=$topic_id]

    This will effectively create the ability to turn a bbp forum into comments with a popup. I know there is a plugin that claims to do this. Even without the popup option. It doesn’t work. Possibly, it has something to do with a page builder. I’m not sure but this shortcode would fix it.

    Thank you

    [bbp-single-reply id=$reply_id] returns a single reply, what do you want

    [bbp-single-reply topic id=$topic_id] to do ?

    I had wanted a reply to post to a specific topic

    hmm…I don’t really understand how you would use a shortcode to do that

    I would think that possibly if a forum is closed, then it is closed to user topic creation. But I could be wrong. I would think, admin would still have that ability. Presuming all of that is the case, it seems that it could have potential close to the way that [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] works. Again, just person logic, not coder logic.

    The endgame objective here being to add code and/or shortcode to a widget on any given page that will return something like a comment. To a topic specified by admin. And to remove the user topic creation line.

    All to avoid the use of comments. The reasoning there is that comments return said comment to the initiating page. At least one. Regardless of where else they are directed. Apparently, this can not change. I do not know why.

    Given the miles of code involved in any little thing, it seems anything should be possible. Maybe just a few more miles. but I don’t know.

    This was attempted with topics for posts. Apparently, it worked. It does not work now. At least with a page builder.

    sorry, but not something that this code would do, or that I would build
