    Hi
    I have a parent forum with 3 child forums. On a specific page, I want the forum topic widget to display only new topics from any of the 3 child forums. Here are the forums. The parent is ‘English’ and has 3 child forums.
    Parent and child forums
    Here are the settings I’m trying to use from the Forum Topic Widget (when I use the settings shown in the image below, the widget shows as blank)

    Am I missing something or more likely, what am I doing wrong.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer – David

    so how are you doing the ‘widget’ on a specific page – ie only show it on one page?

    Hi Robin

    Thank you for taking your time to respond.

    Yes, I want it to appear on the homepage of a membership site so that people can see the latest topics for that particular site. We have another site that uses the forums also, so will need to apply the same there for another parent/child set of forums – if we can make it work as we hope.

    1. only showing on homepage
    2. only showing the 3 forum topics

    The widget will only show on the homepage (dashboard) yes and only show the 3 forum topics under the parent ‘English’

    Here’s where I want it to show (presently only shows the last topics of a single forum)
    Dashboard

    ok, install

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

    and you’ll see [bsp-display-topic-index] with lots of options including picking from selected forums – insert this in a text/html/shortcode box – if gutenberg, then a shortcode box.

    Thanks Robin

    I’m using an all-in-one platform Rainmaker (Andromeda) and they don’t allow you to simply install plug-ins. They have to go through testing for compatibility ect and it’s usually around £200 per install to have it tested and approved.
