The Course Forum Widget

The Course wpForo Forum widget lists the forums linked to the course on a single course page, so students can jump straight from the course to its discussion.

  1. Go to Appearance → Widgets.
  2. Drop the Course wpForo Forum widget into a sidebar that renders on single course templates.
  3. Set an optional Title.
  4. Save.
  • On each single course page, it lists every forum linked to that course, across every board, as clickable links.
  • Each link uses wpForo’s own forum URL, so board routing is always correct.
  • If the course has no linked forums, the widget renders nothing.

The forum list is cached per course for 5 minutes to avoid rebuilding it on every page load. After you link or unlink a forum, the change can take up to 5 minutes to appear in the widget. To see it immediately, clear your object cache (or wait out the 5-minute window).
