This guide explains how to use Forum Shortcodes on the BuddyBoss Platform. Site admins can easily display forums, discussions, replies, tags, search inputs, and statistics on any WordPress page by using the provided shortcodes. We also cover how to locate the required post IDs to reference specific forums, topics, or replies, ensuring your content displays accurately.
To get the required post ID for $forum_id, $topic_id, $tag_id, and $reply_id as required by certain shortcodes, you will need to log into the WordPress admin, and go into BuddyBoss > Forums and then find the post content you are looking to reference. Hover over the post and then click the ‘Edit’ link. Once the edit page loads you can copy the ID from the URL of the post, eg. /wp-admin/post.php?post=47 where 47 is the ID.
