You can use forums to enhance the interaction with almost any type of content on the UK site.
Using BuddyBoss Forum Shortcodes
You can use a variety of WordPress shortcodes to include forum content and interactions in content. Currently, this requires access to the WordPress backend with an Administrator-level site role. If you don’t have that level of access, please message or email a site Administrator to have them look up the id you’re looking for.
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.
