XF 2.0 How to display "what's new" threads on the homepage?

[entelechy]

Is there a non-custom way to display the same threads that appear on "what's new" on the homepage? ie. clicking on "forums" shows forums, but now clicking on the logo or typing in the root url directly displays homepage with recent threads where forums normally are?

You need to create a Widget .

Is there some specific way to select to replace the forum nodes with the widget holding the threads?

Why not just set index page route to what’s-new in basic board information? No widget needed then

Or have i totally misunderstood the question?

Will doing that display the what's new page when going to the root url?

I believe so (I think you need a trailing slash so it would be whats-new/ )
