How can I make it so if one post has the 5 most recent replies it doesn’t show that post 5x in my recent replies wordpress widget? I only want it to show once as it looks kinda dumb having the same topic posted 5x..

tick show author so it wont look that dumb

I did that already… But still think it looks silly I have one thread that usually gets hourly replies and it’s usually on recent replies 3-5 times

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 3 months ago]

did you edit the widget??

[@rob24g Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

Yes to remove the author only but nothing else

[@robkk Moderator 10 years, 3 months ago]

put the original code back to fix your problem

[@rob24g Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

I did everything through wordpress.. I didn’t touch any code

[@rob24g Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

I simply don’t want to show a topic 5x in recent replies regardless if those 5 replies are the newest.. There has to be a workaround for this

Yes to remove the author only but nothing else

revert what you did and show the author, so it would look like this

[:)] user 1 on topic 1
[:(] user 1 on topic 2
[:'(] user 2 on topic 1
[:{)] user 3 on topic 1

because its less weird than this

topic 1
topic 2
topic 1
topic 1

or at least click show date in the widget settings

i know you dont want to show 5 recent replies topics that are the same

other ways are for your users to create more topics and make them more active so the recent replies widget shows recent replies for more than 1 topic , and it doesnt look weird

but other than that if i gave you a function to not show the actual recent replies

if you have these topics that had recent replies

topic 1
topic 1
topic 3
topic 5
topic 7
topic 1

and i wanted to only show

topic 1
topic 3
topic 5
topic 7

i just skipped them and they arent really recent replies across your site anymore
its just now the bbpress recent topics widget with the topics with recent replies settings on

[@rob24g Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

I do show the date currently.. But still I would want only the most recent to show ONCE.

So there is no way around this with JavaScript or anything? Cause I had a forum on forumotion before and this was never a problem.

@rob24g

where i talked about the recent topics widget with the topics with recent replies setting

[@rob24g Participant 10 years, 3 months ago]

That can work for me.. Thanks @robkk for all the help
