Suggested Topics Not Displaying

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the ‘suggested topics’ not appearing on a Discourse forum, with user Jacob_Peebles noting that only ‘new and unread’ topics are visible. Moin clarifies that ‘new & unread topics’ is the default label for suggested topics, a change introduced in a recent update linked. Jacob_Peebles finds this confusing, as the topics are neither new nor unread, and suggests making the text customizable via the admin panel. Moin directs to a guide on customizing text in Discourse here.

Hello! This is probably a dead simple mistake. We cannot see the ‘suggested topics’ from the bottom of our topics. We see ‘new and unread’, but do now see ‘suggested’. Are we missing some obvious setting?

Here is a topic with no suggested topics (all topics on our site have no suggested topics…)

By the way this data was imported recently to our new discourse setup, so maybe there is some indexing that needs to occur?

I think “new & unread topics” is the title for the suggested topics list

Thanks @Moin ! That is pretty confusing. Is that a template thing or just the default for discourse? Specifically the topics are neither the newest or unread.

I think it is the default since the change in UX: Topic recommendations tweaks. (#22880) · discourse/discourse@e7fb4be · GitHub

Thank @Moin - I see that now. Still pretty confusing given what is displayed to the user. Also the admin references “suggested”. Maybe make that text editable via the admin? So if someone isn’t using the AI “related” they can still have the interface make sense to the users…
