   Hi. I'm using 9.0.1. I would like to restrict the number of Latest Discussions showing to 5. How do I do this? I don't see anything in the bb-config file and the Front Page Topics plugin doesn't seem to work with 9.0.1...

   Your help appreciated.

   Front page topics plugin isn't working? Hmm. Should be.

   I have a modification I've done somewhere...
   Try this:
   

   // fix number of front page topics
   function bb_custom_topic_limit($limit) {
   switch (bb_get_location()) :
   	case  'front-page':  $limit=5;  break;
   	case  'forum-page': $limit=10; break;
   	case  'tag-page':  break;
   	case  'topic-page':  $limit=15; break;
   	case  'feed-page':  break;
   	case  'search-page': break;
   	case  'profile-page': 	break;
   	case  'favorites-page': break;
   	case  'view-page': $limit=10; break;
   	case  'stats-page':  break;
   	case 'login-page': break;
   	default:  $limit=15;
   endswitch;
   return $limit;
   }
   add_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'bb_custom_topic_limit',200);
   
   // required to fix for custom topic limits to calculate correct page jumps
   function fix_post_link ($link,$post_id) {
   global $topic;
   remove_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'bb_custom_topic_limit' );
   if ($topic && $topic->topic_last_post_id==$post_id) {
   	$topic_id=$topic->topic_id;
   	$page=get_page_number( $topic->topic_posts );
   } else {
   	$bb_post = bb_get_post( get_post_id( $post_id ) );
   	$topic_id=$bb_post->topic_id;
   	$page = get_page_number( $bb_post->post_position );
   }
   return  get_topic_link( $topic_id, $page ) . "#post-$post_id";
   }
   add_filter( 'get_post_link','fix_post_link',10, 2);

   glanceup: Just cut and paste it into a plugin template. Here's what I did (apologies to _ck_ if the headers aren't quite right):

   <?php
   
   /*
   
   Plugin Name: Fix Number of Front Page Topics
   
   Plugin URI: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-restrict-number-of-latest-discussions-on-front-page

   */
   
   // fix number of front page topics
   function bb_custom_topic_limit($limit) {
   switch (bb_get_location()) :
   	case  'front-page':  $limit=5;  break;
   	case  'forum-page': $limit=10; break;
   	case  'tag-page':  break;
   	case  'topic-page':  $limit=15; break;
   	case  'feed-page':  break;
   	case  'search-page': break;
   	case  'profile-page': 	break;
   	case  'favorites-page': break;
   	case  'view-page': $limit=10; break;
   	case  'stats-page':  break;
   	case 'login-page': break;
   	default:  $limit=15;
   endswitch;
   return $limit;
   }
   add_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'bb_custom_topic_limit',200);
   
   // required to fix for custom topic limits to calculate correct page jumps
   function fix_post_link ($link,$post_id) {
   global $topic;
   remove_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'bb_custom_topic_limit' );
   if ($topic && $topic->topic_last_post_id==$post_id) {
   	$topic_id=$topic->topic_id;
   	$page=get_page_number( $topic->topic_posts );
   } else {
   	$bb_post = bb_get_post( get_post_id( $post_id ) );
   	$topic_id=$bb_post->topic_id;
   	$page = get_page_number( $bb_post->post_position );
   }
   return  get_topic_link( $topic_id, $page ) . "#post-$post_id";
   }
   add_filter( 'get_post_link','fix_post_link',10, 2);
   
   ?>

   However, fel64's "Page" plugin doesn't work after activating this one:

   Oh, excitement! That seems to work just fine. Thank you.

   Thanks to Sam, I learned that the Freshness column links to the latest post, so fel64's Page plugin is no longer necessary.

   However, when I activate _ck_'s Front Page Posts plugin, the freshness column links to a page without any posts.

   _ck_ (or anybody who wants to troubleshoot) can contact me for a login and password for my forum. kamera [at] gmail will do the trick.

   My educated guess would be because fel64's plugin is grabbing the link within the title, so the plugin that alters the page count is not getting unhooked yet.

   Try adding on a new line after global $topic; in fel64's plugin:
   remove_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'bb_custom_topic_limit', 200);

   It's occurred to me there might be a bug in my plugin where I don't have that matching ,200 on the end of the same remove_action line. If I remember correctly, actions have to be unhooked with matching priority numbers to how they were added. So maybe try adding the ,200 also.

   Remember that bbPress's "topics per page" setting must be set to the actual number of posts you want listed on a topic page.
