This has been a difficult one for me. I have multiple forums on my site dealing in multiple categories.
When I click any of the forums to view topics there are topics from other forums showing. example

Forum A
topic 1 (has)
topic 2 (has)

Forum B
topic 1 (has)
topic 2 (has)

when clicked Forum B to view topics, forum A topics show up like so
Topic 1 (from forum A)
Topic 1 (from forum B) {organized according to freshness }
Topic 2 (from forum A)
Topic 2 (from forum B)

What I want is when clicking forum A (or B) you see

Topic 1 (from correct forum only)
Topic 2 (from correct forum only)

Now the topics being organized according to freshness I thought it was a freshness issue so I went changed some loops. I had no luck getting this not to happen. I have removed the freshness from every loop and every content then returned them to normal having no results.
If this is related to freshness then I am having a problem getting bbpress to read the custom loop-“tag”.php I have them placed in childtheme>bbpress which is how I was told this worked from the duccumentation. You can see the specific problem on this page

OK I found the problem. Sorry for bothering y’all. I was making the rule topics super sticky which made them show up every where.

ok, glad you’re fixed, I was just absorbing your problem and trying to think what was causing it when I saw your later response 🙂
