Hello from Japan!
bbpress is great!

Well, I’m in trouble.
so I would appreciate if you help me.

1.
By default, an anchor tag is given to texts of “freshness“. like…

<a>2hours, 1minute ago</a>

To remove the anchor tag from freshness texts, which files should I modify ?
Could you please tell me a path to get to the file?

2.
By default, a comma is used in display of “freshness”. like..

2hours,(←here!) 1minute ago

I want to also remove the comma.
In this case, a file to be modified will be the same as the file described above?

Thanks for reading,
and I’m looking forward to your reply…

WordPress: ver3.9.1
bbPress: ver2.5.3

you will need to filter two functions

1. bbp_get_forum_freshness_link

2. You will need to amend the freshness function

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

I have no idea how into coding you are, so come back and let me know so that I can help you further

How much php do you know
do you know how to edit files
do you know how to ftp

I really appreciate your response!
bbPress support is great!

I’ve worked for about 3years as a Web designer.
So, I can understand HTML and CSS3,
and how to edit and ftp files as well.

For php, I learned the just basics before.
So, I can read basic php codes,
but I can’t write php codes by my own.

Thanks for telling URL “Shorten freshness wording”.
The codes should be helpful for me.
However, I have no idea to customize the codes to get to my Two goals…

ok, so

//function to remove the comma
function change_comma_time($output) {
$output = preg_replace( ‘/[,]/’ , ‘ ‘ , $output );
return $output;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_time_since’, ‘change_comma_time’ );
add_filter(‘bp_core_time_since’, ‘change_comma_time’);

will take out the commas. You need to add this to your functions file and

‘function custom_get_forum_freshness_link() {
$time_since = bbp_get_forum_last_active_time( $forum_id );
$anchor = $time_since ;
return $anchor ;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_forum_freshness_link’, ‘custom_get_forum_freshness_link’ );’

will take out the link

You will need to add these to your functions file.

Come back if you need further help
