Hello, I’ve noticed when creating a Group and selecting to allow to create a Forum for that Group it seems to load all the Group Forums on the Main Forum page. Meaning the more Forums users create for their Groups the more it just extends the size of the main forum page.
Is there a way to default it to only show 4 on the main page while also allowing it to change via user updates?

Does that make sense?

Can you give an example of what the “main forums page” URL looks like? Is it example.com/forums? (BP itself is not responsible for creating a page like this, so I want to have a better idea of where I can send you for help.)

It is that: site.com/forums (under construction at the moment)

There is an option on the Dashboard to allow Forums for User created Groups, which then directs to the main Forum page (created and directed to Forum/”Groups”, by me as the Admin) and within are the subtopics created by the Users.

If the case isn’t a BP issue I will also ask the Theme support. Any insight would be appreciated here too! Thanks.

I’d suggest starting a topic at https://bbpress.org/forums – bbPress is the software that is responsible for creating the index at /forums/, and the folks over there will probably be able to give better advice about how to limit what appears there.

Ah yes thank you, I will try there as well. Thanks for answering both my concerns!

I think you can create a category for groups and set the visibility to hidden, if I am correct.
