I’m getting incorrect “last updated” date/time stamps on my forums:

ShareSoc Forums Information and Discussion

Here is a screenshot highlighting the issue:

If I use the “Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” tool, then it fixes it, but obviously I don’t want to have to do this every time – I just want it to work without running a tool. Can I run this tool as a cronjob?

Hi,

I faced the same problem after update to bbPress 2.6.4.
It’s very important to show ‘last updated’ correctly, because it’s needed to control the forum.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

it is a bug in current version, the authors are aware

this temporary fix works for many

bbp Refresh Last Active Time

[@mattpont Participant 4 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks Robin. I’d tried your plugin a month ago when I was looking for solutions, and my forum is still showing the wrong date.

I guess I’ll just have to wait for an official bug fix.

[@wpa2mik Participant 4 years, 10 months ago]

Could you write a few lines of text how to apply this fix?

[@mattpont Participant 4 years, 10 months ago]

Download the zip file in Robin’s link. Upload and activate to your WordPress website as a plugin.

Sadly it didn’t seem to fix mine though, but has worked for others.

[@wpa2mik Participant 4 years, 10 months ago]

This fix works for me! Thanks a lot!

Following info may be useful:
* PHP 7.3
* Word Press 5.3.2
* bbPress 2.6.4
* No additional plugins related to bbPress.

Any updates on the time frame for this? I’m having the same problem and the fix suggested above didn’t solve it for me either

[@mattpont Participant 4 years, 8 months ago]

I’m still having the issue too.

I’ve tried the plugin mentioned in this post, and also another fix I found on the internet – none have worked.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 8 months ago]

presume you have tried

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums?

and does this work, even if for a shorttime ?

[@agrolsy Participant 4 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, it seems to work until next time someone posts something

[@mattpont Participant 4 years, 8 months ago]

The tool “Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” has worked for us in the past, but even that has stopped working now.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 8 months ago]

how many forums, topics and replies roughly does you forum have ?

[@mattpont Participant 4 years, 8 months ago]

It’s not very big as it was only launched recently:
40 Forums
39 Topics
31 Replies

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 8 months ago]

hmm – do you have sub forums?

[@mattpont Participant 4 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, there are 12 main forums, the rest are sub forums.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 8 months ago]

ok, would you be happy for me to take a look at your site? if so, can you contact me via

[@mattpont Participant 4 years, 8 months ago]

Thanks Robin – I’ve emailed you.

Robins plugin (temp fix) is working great for me and site has 1000’s of topics 10’s of thousands of post BUT since installing i seem to have large delay loading the index. Is this expected behavior or should i dig deeper into what is causing issue?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 8 months ago]

that code only runs when a new topic is posted, and should not be resource heavy.

Is it in your functions file or code snippets or elsewhere?

[@randrcomputers Participant 4 years, 8 months ago]

Possibly could be widgets? I have a lot on index page but never used to be slow with the widgets. Honestly not sure it’s strange I wish I could figure it out!

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 8 months ago]

@randrcomputers sinvce my code only runs on new topics – would be worth running a test with it enabled and disabled, and see if it makes a difference – if it does then come back.
