They’re not the ‘original’ developers. Just the ones that paid what I imagine was a large sum to take commercial control of it.

The Repeater field, Flexible Layouts, Blocks support, Site Options page, Gallery field, Clone field are all features of ACF Pro, they were never a part of the free version of ACF. However it would be a boon to this open-source version if developers would contribute compatible equivalents of these!

Hello again all.

I came into this halfway and I’ve now seen this to mature into exactly what I wanted as well (Topics with no replies + recent replies).

My question is, to implement this all I should need to do is:

1. add the linked Gist in it’s entirety to my functions.php file.
2. add the shortcode in the front-end where I want it

Is that it or am I missing you need Query Wrangler plugin or something else?

Very much appreciate your help.

Hi Jonathan –

Sure. By ‘areas’ I wasn’t referring to any wordpress lexicon, just divisions of the content of this site, in this case an educational module for a course.

And as these are Pages (not posts) there’s no post metadata so I would be looking to manually add some shortcode (no not shortcake auto-correct ?? to each page that I would customise manually.

On the BBPress side I would set up individual Forums for each course module. What would be ideal is if you could use a shortcode to filter recent discussions by 1 forum (using simply an ID# or something). But it seemed like your function might have been another solution.

Thanks – Jason

Forgive me if this is off-topic or needs a separate thread. I’m wondering if this has enough functionality or can be customised to solve the following:

I have a site with several topical Areas that I want to link BBPress Forums with each one.

It would be ideal to have a shortcode I can embed in a page that filters Recent replies or topics ONLY for that specific Area/Forum. So that I can use a varied shortcode for each page to display replies only related to that Forum.

Is this far beyond the scope of this or is there even an easier way I am completely missing?

Thanks very much for your expertise!
