Shortcode to get the number of unread subscribed topics

Hello there,

I look for a shortcode that would allow me to display to the user the number of unread topic in his subscription (or at least, if there is any unread topic there).

I have looked for it for a long time and couldn’t find anything suiting my needs or functional.

Does anymone have an idea or solution to this need ?

(My aim : without using buddypress, display a “user notification bell” on my menu with an indication to the user when unread topics are available… Pretty classic use case, but not so easy to find 😅 )

Thank you for your help or clues 🙏

Thank you Robin for this so quick answer 🙏

I already use your awesome plugin + additional shortcodes (thanks a lot).
But it doesn’t allow me to get (and use) the information “Is there any topic to read for this user ?” so that I use it in my menu…

By reading this post : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/get-topics-of-subscribed-to-forums/
I ask myself if there is a way to make a function that :

1) get the subscribed forums html
2) check if there is the “unread” tag in this html
3) return YES or NO (or best : the number of “unread” occurences)

Do you think this is feasible ?
