I’m sure this is a tricky area of bbpress to make work.

My perception is that it is glitchy. I converted over a year ago from posts to topics and have the most recent of bbpress installed.

Here’s an example of a forum in which the freshness is persistently wrong — I’ve used the repair tools for parents and last activity repeatedly.

Check this link — there is activity in subforums (recent topics and recent posts), but the parent forum is showing a hard-to-explain freshness of one month ago.

I see the issue, and see that you ran two of the repair tools.

Can you try running each of the repair tools one at a time please.

p.s. I moved your topic as it really should be it’s own topic 🙂
