How do I add timestamp to posts within a topic? Thanks.

basically you’d need to cut some code to display the date/time, put it in a function that echo’s it, and then hook it to the following action

add_action (‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’, ‘your_function’) ;

sorry am up to my armpits in other code, or I’d cut it for you !

Thanks for responding. I made the below code and unfortunately didn’t work. When you have time in a week or 2, would love to know what went wrong. Thanks.

function post_time ( $output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/, .*[^ago]/', ' ', $output );
echo $output;
}
add_action ('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'post_time') ;

Have made a note to come back to this !

You can use bbp_reply_post_date for it – it will give you “August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm”. I mean, it would give you that for posts on Aug 4, 2012 at 2.37pm and similar things for other dates.

But you want to style it a bit, so something like:

function mjj_post_reply_date(){
  printf('<div class="mjj-post-date">');
  bbp_reply_post_date(); 
  printf('</div>');
}

add_action ('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'mjj_post_reply_date') ;

[Majijiboo]

Thanks. It works. Is there a way to only show the date and not the hour/minute? Maybe using code similar to the below could help?

function short_freshness_time( $output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/, .*[^ago]/', ' ', $output );
return $output;
}

Yep – use get_post_time() – https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_post_time

function mjj_post_reply_date(){
  printf('<div class="mjj-post-date">');
  $reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
  printf( get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), false, $reply_id, true ) ); 
  printf('</div>');
}

add_action ('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'mjj_post_reply_date') ;

[Majijiboo]

It worked. Thanks.

glad you’re fixed !
