Description

This Plugin changes the ‘freshness ‘ that bbPress displays on topic and forum lists (eg 4 hours ago) to the date of the last post to that forum or topic (eg 17th January 2014 at 5.15pm).

It also allows you to set the heading for this new date format.

The existing (bbpress) Recent Topics widget works with date, but a revised Recent Replies Widget to display the date format called (Last Post) Recent Replies is included.

Installation

  1. Go to Dashboard>plugins>add new
  2. Search for ‘bbp last post’
  3. Click install
  4. and then activate
  5. To set the heading – go to Dashboard>settings>bbp last post and follow the instructions to select what heading to display.
  6. If you are using the (bbPress) Replies widget, go to Dashboard>appearance>widgets, remove your existing ‘(bbPress) Recent Replies’ widget, and replace with the ‘(Last Post) Recent Replies’ Widget

Very happy, it works perfectly

After trying to code things myself (to keep the number of plugins down), I found it easier simply to install this.
