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. ## Screenshots * [[ * The display before this plugin * [[ * The display after this plugin * [[ * The settings page * [[ * The (last Post) Recent Replies Widget ## Installation 1.
