Hi there,

When we receive notifications of topic replies. The Date Received field usually shows the time that has passed since the reply was posted. However, the text “Sometime Ago” is showing instead. This is happening for all bbPress notifications.

It still occurs when we deactivate all plugins other than Buddypress and bbPress and use the default themes.

Can anyone give any advice to fix this?

Our setup is the following

Buddypress Version 6.0.0
bbPress Version 2.6.4
Wordpress Version 5.4.1

Found it! I live in New Zealand and had the time zone set to UTC + 12.

Turns out bbPress cannot deal with that so I had to set it back to UTC. Now I have to figure out how to deal with being 12 hours ahead of my website! Pah!

great – thanks for posting the answer – and do come back if you work it out.

one possibility (that is a workaround) would be to display as the actual date/time rather than ‘ago’

for instance my style pack plugin has the ability to change that.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display
