I'd like to add a new forum but only show 2 or 3 latest posts for my home page to get new content there. The shortcode i use won't work because I'm already using a feed to pull and code in my functions.php page to show posts from another forum for up to a specific date range.

 

is it possible to only show 2-3 of a separate forum? either through functions.php OR shortcode?

thank you!

Hi,

We don't follow you well. Could you please rephrase your question? 

I'd suggest you check out the wpForo Boards system. More info here: https://wpforo.com/docs/wpforo-v2/categories-and-forums/forum-boards/

@sofy I currently have 2 boards - working well.

  • I'm creating another board that will be featured on the home page
  • For the new board, I only want to show 2 of the most recent posts. (see attached)
  • For my first 2 boards, I added code (see attached) to show more posts for my feed page: https://thebreastcastg.wpenginepowered.com/feed-2/
  • Now, I only want to show the most recent 2 posts for my 3rd board. How can I do that?

Hope this helps.

The developers suggest using the hook code below: 

add_filter( 'wpforo_recent_posts_limit', function($limit){
    $boardid = WPF()->board->get_current('boardid');
    if( $boardid === 15 ){
        $limit = 2;
    }else{
        $limit = 365;
    }
    
    return $limit;
} );
