Robin, your code change worked for new topics. Did you say we would need an additional code change for replies?
Robin, I applied your code change. Will report results once I have them.
Still the same result with the new code.
But I noticed that emptying the spam folder causes “Last Post” link to change to the correct value. So there is some code in bbpress that can fix the link (I am guessing by changing something in the database?).
FYI, post ID 1768 is the post that just came in.
Thank you, Robin. I added the snipped, and it partially worked. The anchor text “time ago” now reflects the time of the latest good post. However the URL is for the latest spam post.
I started digging a bit through bbpress code. It looks like if the fix was inside bbp_topic_freshness_link() it would be much easier to test, as we would not need to wait for a new spam post to test the fix. And perhaps make decisions based on the wp_post status having the value “publish”. This way the solution would not be specific to Akismet. But I am really too new to WordPress coding and bbPress to be making this kind of changes myself.
Hi Robin. Thank you for looking at this. Yes, I can replicate the problem and test a fix. In fact, I have the described situation on my forum right now:

And it is likely to stay this way for the next few days. If necessary I can also recrate it manually.
