I see the following in the sidebar recent topics / posts widgets:
When a new topic is added, it is both listed as a New Topic (ok) and also as a New Post.
Is that by design ? And if so, why ?
Thanks !
I guess the first post in a topic is still a post. But I know what you mean. Sometimes both lists have the same things in them if a handful of new topics have been created and none have yet had a reply.
If the new posts widget could somehow exclude the first post in a new topic this would fix things but I have no idea if the wpForo guys can do that.
Got it and you are probably right.
Still the url link is different, for the same url. Is that normal to the eyes of search engines ? aka Google.
In mine the link is the same. The post links just have #anchor on the end to jump down the page to the specific location of that post within the topic (which is effectively the page).
So this topic is: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/recent-topic-post-widgets-inconsistency
And the first post within that is: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/recent-topic-post-widgets-inconsistency/#post-11890
They are not different "pages". #post-11890 is a location within the page itself. Therefore, Google etc. should view it as the same thing.

Same to me. Some #anchor at the end. I guess you are right.
