You need to install our Template Tags plugin which includes a widget just for this - and you can see that in use in our footer. Full detauls of what tags are included here: https://simple-press.com/docum.....gs-plugin/
And if you need help installing plugins see the 'Using Plugins' section in the codex - or shout...

hmmmm ive installed the plugin read the about and seen the code/shortcode to add to a widget , but cant find the included widget you mention..
I found a shorcode widget which i tried but it just displays the code on the main page not the recent posts..
Where do i find the included widget? Ive activated the plugin but see no mention of it in there either
Cheers

So when you view Appearance > Widgets, there is no 'Recent Forum Posts' widget in 'Available Widgets' on the left?
It should just be a case of firstly activating the template tags plugin, then going to Appearance > Widgets and dragging the 'Recent Forum Posts' widget into a content slot. From there it should give you some in-widget options.

Yes thats there but im migrating from mingle forums (which is still installed, the migration tool doesnt work)
Thats actually given me the opportunity to heavily prune the rubbish lol.. But back on topic
The recent forum posts widget displays the mingle forum still, i presume until i remove mingle?

I don't 100% know the answer to that and I am unsure where and how Mingle stores it's data but there could well be a clash - maybe just in url's or something like that. So basically I would deactivate it as a minimum and see what transpires. It's always possible that by coincidence, we both gave the same name to a widget!

Well...... there is a very good reason this wasnt working (whistles innocently)
I installed it then activated the wrong one, that was just called Tags (downloaded a few plugins and dumped them into the folder via ftp)
So all working, thank you very much and im an idiot lol
