Hi folks,

What I’m trying to do is exclude certain forums based on ID from the recent topic list widget.

I’ve tried looking around to find the answer to this question, but so far no luck. Any ideas?

Hi,

Is this want you are looking for : http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-additional-shortcodes/ from @robin-w

It’s INcluding, not EXcluding …

Pascal.

That sounds workable, however, after installing the plugin the display topic shortcode doesn’t seem to be functional. The display newest users shortcode is working, odd.

[Robin W]

can you tell me what you are putting as the shortcode?

[cookavich]

Robin W, I used the example: [bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′]

[Robin W]

and what did it show? ie what is ‘doesn’t seem to be functional’ as seen by you

[cookavich]

I created a test page with this as the content:

[bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′]

[display-newest-users show = ’10’]

This was the result:

[Robin W]

can you repost your screenshot link?

But… you wanted to limit to some forums, no ?

So let’s say you only want to show 5 topics from forums 10, 11 and 12, then you would put:
[bbp-display-topic-index show='5' forum='10,11,12']

ok, I think I know the problem.

If you copied/pasted the shortcode from my website, it incorrectly formats the shortcode on your website.

I’ve now corrected, so if you go back onto my website and copy/paste then it will now work.

or just type the shortcode in !

[Robin W]

but yes as Pascal says, you do need to list the forums that you want to include

and I have just updated the plugin for a technical error which should not affect you, but you may want to load the latest version from my site
