Recent FluxBB Topics

This plugin grabs your recent FluxBB topics for you to display in WordPress using widgets or shortcodes.

Formerly punbb_recent_topics by IG based on the plugin made by Nick [LINICKX] Bettison (release in April 2008).

I just took the pluging made for punBB forum and I adapted to work with FluxBB forums (2017).
This plugin grabs your recent FluxBB forum topics for you to display in WordPress, you can display them either in you widgets, in a post, a page or in your theme with fluxbb shortcode.

Do you have a FluxBB forum, do you want to drag your blog readers into your forum ? Then this plugin might just help, you can include somewhere in wordpress a list of recent FluxBB threads (topics) in sidebar, footer (widgets), in a page, a post, and even in your theme.
