the bbPress plugin comes with 2 widgets already. You can have both the most recent topics and most recent replies, plus a few others.
If you are trying to build a custom widget, then look at the bbPress widget code file to see how it is done. It will help a lot.
Thank you for your answer,
But I can’t integrate the widget as I wish in my design.
Indeed, I can’t integrate the excerpt of the replies, I can’t properly control the CSS and I can’t (of course) include the latest comments in the last forums’ replies.
I started by looking at the widget code by default, but I can’t decrypt properly.
query_posts is very simple and I usually use it in my templates; is much more customizable.
That is exactly why I mentioned the widget file. If you look closely at the code you will see that the widget code actually does use the wordpress loop.
Check out line 542 where the arguments for the loop are set followed by a standard WordPress loop format. While the terminology is a little different, the concept of bbPress loops and WordPress loops is exactly the same.
oO last replies are on ligne 749 no?
but thank you, i change ligne 750
<div id="lastreply">
<?php while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>
<div class="post">
<h4>
<?php
$author_link = bbp_get_reply_author_link( array( 'type' => 'both', 'size' => 60 ) );
$reply_link = '' . bbp_get_reply_topic_title() . '';
/* translators: bbpress replies widget: 1: reply author, 2: reply link, 3: reply date, 4: reply time */
printf( _x( $show_date == 'on' ? '%1$s on %2$s, %3$s, %4$s' : '%1$s on %2$s', 'widgets', 'bbpress' ), $author_link, $reply_link, get_the_date(), get_the_time() );
?>

and it’s ok 
but I am afraid that the next bbpress update overwrites the change
thx a lot for your help
Copy and paste the code you need into a custom widget like you were doing initially.
Hello,
thank you board, I tried, but it doesn’t work.
I copied this code in my page function.php of my theme. but no widget is created.
