# Forum shortcode opens new page

 * Hello,
 * If you add a shortcode such as [wpforo item=”forum” id=”2″] on a blog page, forum
   displays well but once you click on a link (such as menu member), it opens a 
   new page. Is there a way to keep everything on same page, kind of ajax behavior?
   Thanks
 * Note: i would like to replace default blog comments by a forum
    Tested WPForo
   2.0.9 and firefox web browser

 * Hi [@boabo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boabo/),
    Yes because the shortcode
   calls the current wpForo page in the WordPress page, and if you click on a link,
   it has to take you to the needed page. That’s how wpForo works.
