Recent posts widget when extending the forum-shortcode with additional parameters

Hi all and @asgaros

I use Asgaros on my website as follows: –

Forum Home Page as Specified in Asgaros Settings

[forum category="288,289"]

Page B

[forum category="314"]

When I add a Recent Posts widget and include category 314, the posts in this category display just fine in the widget, but the links don’t work as they’re redirecting to the URL of the forum page specified in the settings.

Is there a workaround?

Brilliant plugin 🙂

I know everybody is busy so this is just a very respectful post to check if anybody can help 😊

Hello @ukbestrong

Yes, this is a known bug which is caused by the defined main-instance in the setting. If you use that kind of widget only once on your website, you can try to change the forum-location to the page you want to link to.

If you want to support the development of Asgaros Forum, you can leave a good review or donate. Thank you very much!

Thanks so much for clarifying. Ive just added the category in the main forum page too, which is kinda a workaround as at least the links take them somewhere 🙂
