Thanks for looking into it. Unfortunately I can’t use this feature (which is important) if there are going to be errors in the dates. It risks alienating new members by making topics look dated when they’re brand new. I’ll have to have my dev look into it and see if he can figure something out to get this working correctly. Thanks again.
I noticed the problem before any replies were posted to the two threads I tested with. So I’m not sure yet if the freshness is correct for later replies. But it’s definitely off for the original post. Instead of the original freshness time being based on the time the topic is actually posted, it’s based on when the topic was saved on the back end. So it’s making new topics look older than they actually are on the public side.
Thanks. That did seem to be the culprit — the GD bbPress Tools plugin. Unfortunately it manages other things I need so leaving it disabled isn’t an option. But I’ll contact the plugin developer and see if they can figure out the issue on their end.
I appreciate the help! 🙂
