How to Display Latest Replies in bbPress Forums

If you want to display the latest replies in your bbPress forums, use the following PHP code snippet. This will help you engage users by showcasing recent activity in your forums:

<?php
function bbpress_latest_replies() {
    $args = array(
        'post_type'   => 'reply',
        'posts_per_page' => 5,
        'orderby'     => 'date',
        'order'       => 'DESC'
    );
    $latest_replies = new WP_Query( $args );
    if ( $latest_replies->have_posts() ) {
        echo '<ul>';
        while ( $latest_replies->have_posts() ) {
            $latest_replies->the_post();
            echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
        }
        echo '</ul>';
    }
    wp_reset_postdata();
}
add_shortcode( 'bbpress_latest_replies', 'bbpress_latest_replies' );
?>

This code will display the latest 5 replies on your forum page. Use the shortcode [bbpress_latest_replies] to embed the list wherever you want to display it on your site.
