 * 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 ?

 * 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
