Hi,

I have a section of my site where I list recent forum posts on the page (among other things) What I’d like to do is add another section that’s more specific, i.e. listing recent posts to a specific forum.

Is it possible to modify the code below to look in specific forums?


$args = array('post_type' => 'topic', 'posts_per_page' => 5);
$forum_topics = new WP_Query($args);

This also works, you can specify a post parent if you use this.

Or the WP_Query reference is here, which could help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

Good luck!

Thanks Lynq. That’s exactly what I was looking for.

Hi Lynq,

I tried adding that first code from pastbin to my homepage box which is supposed to show the latest 5 topics from our bbpress forums – unfortunately it’s not showing anything. Is there something else that needs to be added?
