  • 🔧 Moderation & Staff: Follow new content and interactions from one place.

FAQ:​

  • ❓ Why does the widget show fewer items than configured or an empty feed?Increase the Overfetching multiplier in the widget settings. Like XenForo's standard activity feed, the widget fetches Max items × multiplier records before checking which ones the visitor can view. XenForo uses a multiplier of 2: with Max items = 3, only 6 records are checked. If too many are filtered out, the widget shows fewer items or "The news feed is currently empty." Keep Max items at 3 and try a multiplier of 4 to check 12 records. This improves the chance of displaying all 3 items but does not guarantee it.
  • ❓ Does the widget bypass viewing permissions?No. Visitors only see activity they have permission to view.
  • ❓ How can visitors check for new activity?Use the refresh button or configure an automatic update interval.
