Similar threads not working while posting a topic -XF

[Dilip]

In my case, even though Similar Threads addon is added, I do not get this listing. Any idea why? Thanks

Do you have the XFES add-on installed?
I don't use the Similar Threads add-on, but on my site (and the site I sold) they both have XFES installed and give you a similar threads ability. On my Astronomy site it is enhanced by ElasticSearch Essentials and Search Improvements add-ons.

If you notice... the first example displays differently than the second. The first uses the additional add-ons, the latter one only the XFES add-on from XenForo.

Thanks, I only have Similar Threads installed.

It has an option to do it, it is enabled, but not working for some reason

If you have checked the enhanced search option, you have to have XFES installed apparently.
Also, check your user permissions.

Reinstalled, working

Thanks.

I have found every now and then when an add-on gets wonky, doing a master rebuild of the site can help. I've even had issues with XenForo that this resolved and showed errors that were not being reported prior to it.
I usually try to trouble shoot stuff myself as much as possible as I don't really like dealing with anyone over with XenForo (the company).
I do submit some tickets for documentation purposes for certain pursuits.

I love this feature.

It's fascinating and especially useful for sites like this, which have over a decade of conversation. With some of the evergreen topics in community management, you actually find similar threads posted years ago!

Exactly this. Our community is not so old, but there is a chance that duplicate threads can happen.
