Request: Display Comment Count

WP Admin > Settings > Discussion > bbPress Topics for Posts Defaults

If “A link to the topic” is chosen, it would be cool to display comment count. You think so too?

Might you consider adding a checkbox option to loop/query the forum post and display comment count on blog post? Or, perhaps even update the “Link text (when showing only a link to the topic):” input field with something like “%rc” to display reply count.

p.s. – looks like someone wished for this a long time ago, I would havbe commented but it was closed. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-count-3/
