Deactivating all the plugins, and reactivating bb worked. Reactivating the others did not break it after the fact.
All is good
Thanks
There is not a lot of traffic on the forum yet, but it would appear that everything is ok.
I made the suggested change and that seemed to fix the problem.
thanks!
This was my solution
I edited line 178 in my /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php
function bbp_get_time_since( $time ) {
return apply_filters( ‘bbp_get_time_since’, human_time_diff( $time – 25200, current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) ), $time );
}
In my case (Pacific Time) I needed to subtract 7 hours which translated to 25200 seconds.
I fixed the problem by adding the diff back in. Interesting that it only happens to some sites.
Yes, I know, new posts still have the wrong timezone
discovered something interesting
I have http://www.westsac.com and http://www.westsac.com/news-ledger. This is a Multisite installation. the BBPress forum are activated on both (network activated) site but we are only using them on the main site
http://www.westsac.com/forums/ here the freshness is off by -7 hours on the other site
http://www.westsac.com/news-ledger/forums/forum/top-level/ the freshness is correct.
I scanned the options table of both sites and discovered that the got_offest was different, main site was set to -7 the other site was blank.
So I change the gmt_offset to blank on the main site, but that did not make a difference.
Does something have to happen for this change to take effect?
Because the information it was displaying was wrong.
Greg did you ever find a solution? i have the same issue
Any progress on this?
Here is a screen shot of the dashboard showing the issue.
my timezone is “Pacific” and that is set in the wordpress settings.
system clock says 12:21,
post time stamp is 12:06 and
the freshness say 7 hours ago.

The forums are going live next week and I am in the process of removing the “Freshness” code from the public views.
the forums are on non public site.
When I post, the time stamp is correct, but the Freshness time for the post says 7 hours.
thanks
patience fixed mine, I didn’t do anything and they just came back. What didn’t comeback were my modifications that I had forgotten I made
