This is for our Pages (not in widget area), so I need to use shortcodes.

Do you want to help with an alternative since your short codes don't work?

I don't know what you're referring to for an option.

Hey guys,

I updated the template tags plugin, and now it displays everything multiple times for the code instead of just one result.  Here's an example:

Thanks for the reply Papa, but for weeks I've been complaining of it not working.....Swordfish even admitted it's a bug earlier in this post.....but it clearly doesn't work.

Can I PLEASE get some help on this?

yes, we both said there was an issue and that there was a forthcoming update to the template tags plugin...  That update is now available and in our testing fixed the problem we were seeing...

now you are talking about recent posts but earlier you were talking about newest topics... so I am not even sure we are talking same thing any more...  which tag are you having problems with?  recent posts or newest topics????  and was there any change when you updated?

Let's try this again...

Here is the code we're using on our pages to display newest or recent (isn't it the same?) topics from the forum in that category.

[ sp_newest_topics forumIds='3' itemOrder='T' beforeTopic='' listTags='0' limit='10' ]

Initially, it only displayed one topic, no matter how many topics there were in the forum category.

NOW, since the update, it displays more but they're displayed multiple times.  You can see it here:

I'm not sure what else you need that hasn't already been explained.

Thanks

topics are different than posts. obviously...  we have recent post and newest topics...  at least that is our terminology...

been here before too, but you cannot use camel case in the shortcode - wp limitation...  itemOrder needs to be itemorder, beforeTopic needs to be beforetopic, llistTags needs to be listtags, etc...

I dont see multiple, repeated newest topics on that page...  and if you had one topic with more than one post that was in the recent list, it would show twice, but pointing to different posts...
