What do you mean by “it doesn’t work”? Where did you place the shortcode, and what is displayed instead of the wpForo page?
I get a “404” code when I try either of these shortcodes.
(I’m guessing at the shortcodes from reading the docs)

Replace this :
[wpforo item=”forum” id=”3″]
with this :
[wpforo item="forum" id="3" ]
The symbols ” are written incorrectly; they should be the standard Latin double quotation marks " to ensure proper functionality.

Thank you. I feel stupid! I should have seen that with the quotes.
However, even with the code:
[wpforo item="forum" id="3"]
What happens is: I get a 404 page error.
This shortcode above is placed on a blank page that’s structurally nested below the page with the main [wpforo] shortcode on it.
It’s as if the page with the id=3 on it doesn’t exist to WPForo. It seems to be not finding the subpage with the shortcode on it. Could there be some sort of redirect or internal confusion?

So try avoid creating wpForo shortcoded pages hierarchically.
OK. I don’t understand why hierarchical pages would break this. But I see that removing page hierarchy allows it to work.
New question: I have two different Boards. The Forums under each Board have the same ID numbers. When I use a shortcode like this:
[wpforo item=”forum” id=”2″]
How do I control which Board the Forum will display from? Both Boards have a Forum that’s ID=2

Try adding the boardid attribute into the shortcode.
[wpforo boardid=”0″ item=”forum” id=”2″]
[wpforo boardid=”1″ item=”forum” id=”2″]
Oh, that would be great! But I’m getting a “404” with all the variations I try on that. The page for the shortcode is at the top level.
[wpforo boardid=”2″ item=”forum” id=”2″]
Boards: Zero and Two:

Can you please provide the website URL or a full screenshot of the page, including both the front end and dashboard side?
