Hi

Is there a way to show similar topics at the end of a topic ?

i know it might be an issue for performance when a forum has a lot of topics

An idea of the cost & requirements of doing this as a paid job ?

Easier alternative : show the last 5 topics of the same forum : how to do this ?

Thanks 🙂

Is there a way to show similar topics at the end of a topic ?

where – after the reply forum or before?

similar topics

The issue here would be to define how similar topics are identified?

hi

After the reply topic

To identify similar topics i know it is not easy, it needs to check for main words of the topic title (and ignore the non useful words like it, he, she, is, are etc)

[Robin W]

but latest 5 if you have style pack installed would be

add_action( 'bbp_template_after_replies_loop', 'rew_other_topics' );

function rew_other_topics () {
	 $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id() ;
	 $forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id) ;
		echo do_shortcode("[bsp-display-topic-index show='5' forum =".$forum_id." template = 'list']") ;
}

though this would show the topic again if it were in the latest 5!

Great it works thank you but it shows before the reply forum, can it show after ? (as you asked above)

Also, is it better in performance that i add this directly on bbp theme file, rather than in functions.php ?

thanks

add_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_topic', 'rew_other_topics' );

[Robin W]

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Thank you it works !

but there is a problem : last topics show well on the first page of a topic

but when going to topic/page/2 the last topics dont show anymore, any idea why ?

Thanks !

works fine on my test site

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back
