 * I am having three problems with the “Recent Forum Posts” widget.
 * 1) I can not get rid of the title “Recent Forum Posts” even though the the admin/
   appearance/widgets I have left it blank it keeps displaying in the production
   site;
    2) I want to increase the length of the post title displayed in widget
   but i cannot find a way to do so either in settings or even in the php files;
   3) I want to make “Recent Forum Posts” display the actual post, such as replies,
   and NOT the same topic. Currently “Recent Forum Posts” display topics just like“
   Recent Forum Topics”. What is the point?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwidget-problems-19%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Thank you Kinectasia. That plugin didnt work for me. Still shows the title and
   the “!”. What I dont understand is why removing title in the widget itself and
   leaving the title field blank doesnt solve the problem.

 * Hello [@akingbenga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akingbenga/)
 * You can use the following filter to change the length of the post titles:
    – 
   asgarosforum_filter_widget_title_length
 * Point 3:
 * – Recent posts widget shows the topics with the last posts
    – Recent topics widget
   shows the last created topics
