# Topic Index Shortcode Missing Forums

 * I’m using the shortcodes to display latest topics for only specific forums. However,
   not all the forums I’m specifying are showing up on the page. In the above page
   in the ‘Forum Activity’ section, I’m using the following shortcode for the page:
 * [bbp-display-topic-index show=’15’ forum= ‘30084,30068,30072,30070,30138,30147,30149,30151,30145,30090,30092,30143’]
 * However, topics from forum 30084 aren’t showing up in the activity section.
 * This is the case for a couple other topics as well. I’ve tried experimenting 
   with a couple different formats, but can’t figure out why the shortcode isn’t
   working.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftopic-index-shortcode-missing-forums%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

   appearing.

 * hmmm… Not sure why this is happening – I cannot replicate the issue, or see any
   logic for it happening.
 * I do hate not finding a reason for issues, but logically it is something for 
   that forum, as it is always that one that won’t display.
 * Is there anything in the setup of that forum that is different from say 30068
   that is displaying – eg type (category/forum), visibility, hierarchy (parent)
   that might be causing this ?

 * OK–it took me a bit, but I now have some idea for the source of the problem. 
   The setup of the forum is identical with its type, visibility, and parent–but
   I order my forums and it was placed at #6. It didn’t show up when its placement
   was #6 or #5, but it did work when its placement was at #4 and #0. (Another forum
   did work when it was at placement #5… I’m not sure why.)
 * I’m able to make do with this with some rearranging, so this isn’t a pressing
   concern for me anymore, but it seems like there’s some bug dependent on forum
   order.

 * ok, thanks for that.
 * I’ll keep it marked as resolved, but I’ll take a final look in then next couple
   of days to see if I can work any background reason
