I presume that
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>freshness display is acrtivated.
If so – as a test can you deactivate and let me know if the correct info is now displayed.
This will tell me if the issue is bbpress or my plugin
Hey Robin,
thank you for your prompt reply.
Actually no, disabling the freshness display inside the plugin does not solve the problem. Topic link and topic author are still wrong. The strange thing is, if I disable the plugin, then the freshness is correct, both topic link and topic author.
ok, thanks that helps me in looking for where to look.
what version of bbpress are you using?
I’m using the last version of WP, with Bbpress version 2.5.14, bbP private groups 3.5.9, bbp User Ranking 2.5 amd bbp topic count 2.0. Bbp style pack is updated at the last available version, too.
ok, my plugin has a correction to bbpress which clearly is not working for you.
A parent forum or category can get the wrong last active ID if a topic in a sub forum is marked as spam or deleted. My plugin ignores the parent and works out the correct sub forum, or at least is supposed to, but isn’t in your case !
can you contact me via my website, as I’ll need to see the issue on your site to work out where I am going wrong
Thanks
Actually I have already checked that thing. I was looking at the code of the plugin, when I saw that note and removed all the spam and deleted topics/replies from the forum.
Indeed, I have a bug on the forum list in the backend section that indicates my hidden forum as also private, closed, spam and so on. I don’t know why, but could that be the reason of the strange behaviour of the plugin?
EDIT: By the way, maybe I haven’t stressed this enough so I just want to be sure to have correctly conveyed my situation.
The problem with the freshness is not with the subforum per se. The plugin correctly pick the last active topic/reply among all the subforum of a certain forum. The problem is that it seems to ignore the posts inside the forum.
For example: if I have a forum called A, which has two subforum called B and C, plus all the posts inside the forum (but outside B and C), the topics inside the forum are completely ignored.

EDIT: sorry for the double post. I could still edit the first one, but I noticed that too late.

ok think I still need to see an example for real so that I can correct – link to an example on your site or contact me via my website if private
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
It’s not private, I put it in the topic description.
You can find the forum here: https://www.starcitizenitalia.com/forum/
didn’t spot that !
ok, so can you tell me of an example
eg look at the x forum and you will see that the freshness is not correct in yy, it should be zz etc.
Don’t worry.
Let’s take the forum: “Ambientazione e GDR”.
(https://www.starcitizenitalia.com/forum/sezione/star-citizen/ambientazione-e-gdr/)
From the parent forum, “Star Citizen”, it seems that the last active topic is “Lista delle carriere lavorative attualmente note per Star Citizen”, with the last reply dating back to 05/09/2017.
However, if you go inside the forum “Ambientazione e GDR”, you can see that the last active topic is “Carriere ed Esperienza di vita su Star Citizen”, which is inside the forum, but outside the two subforums “Carriere Lavorative” and “Atlante Galattico”. Furthermore, “Carriere ed Esperienza di vita su Star Citizen” dates back to 05/09/2017, while “Lista delle carriere lavorative attualmente note per Star Citizen”, which is inside “Carriere Lavorative” and it is shown as the last active topic from the parent forum, dates back to 03/01/2016!
So the date of the last active topic is correct, but it’s assigned to the wrong topic, that by no means it is not the last active one.
apologies for delay in response – I am away at the moment, so I will get back to you in the next few days
ok, I’m looking at this now
can you change some code and test for me?
if not, come back and let me know
if you know how to change can you find line 754 in /includes/functions.php
$mostRecent= 0;
foreach($show as $date=>$value){
and above this add
//then add the forum itself incase it has the latest
$active_id = get_post_meta( $forum_id , '_bbp_last_active_id', true );
$last_active = get_post_meta( $sub_forum_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true );
if ( empty( $active_id ) ) { // not replies, maybe topics ?
$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );
if ( !empty( $active_id ) ) {
$last_active = bbp_get_topic_last_active_time( $active_id );
}
}
if ( !empty( $active_id ) ) {
$curdate = strtotime($last_active);
$show[$curdate] = $active_id ;
}
and let me know if this fixes it.
Thank you for your reply.
Right now we are moving our server, so I will try your code as soon as possible.
Hey Robin, I finally had the opportunity to try your code. Unfortunately, it looks like it didn’t work.
