Once you have the backups, it is a simple overwrite and poof, done.

What is the best way to do this?

I´ll wait for 1.1.

Some may find Kevinjohn's posts to be overly dramatic, but he DOES have a point.

Except, it's not, is it JJJ?

Thanks ck. Glad I stopped in to the forum today!

It's already flagged critical so it should get some attention.

Thank you _ck_ for the sticky! If I were looking at my feeds from TRAC I'd be still thinking 1.0.3 was just a dream... =P

@pbul2004 to avoid lots of spam you need a registration captcha plugin or "Human Test" and optionally askismet

Unfortunately there is no documentation on what the improvements between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 were, there still isn't even an official release announcement which is why I made one.

You'd have to read the notes from TRAC which unfortunately have been made a mess by changing all the file mime property types, even on unchanged files.

1- backup the bb-config.php or write down the database name, user and password.
2- delete "bb-admin", "bb-includes" and "bb-templates" folders and all the single files from the bbpress root directory with the exception of ".htacess"
3- download bbpress, extract the contents to a folder, rename bb-config-sample.php to bb.config.php and edit it with the details from step 1.
4- send everything from that folder to your bbpress root directory clicking yes if your ftp program asks to overwrite files on the server.

it worked for me but i not using pluggins that allow visitors to upload files or images

So i just download the new bbpress zip file and replace all the contents on my ftp? And my theme files wont be affected?

Do my theme files need to be updated as well?

Thanks

You can install the new version over the old copy, just don't delete anything.

Just make sure your template directory is not the same as bbpress default (kakumei) which you seem to be using "mytheme" so that's fine.

I am on v 1.0.2 of bbpress.

My theme is located in /forum/bb-templates/mytheme.

How would i upgrade to latest version without affecting my sites theme and changes i have made?

Thanks
Paul

http://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2958/tags/1.0.3?old=2339&old_path=%2Ftags%2F1.0.2

unfortunately the mime property was modified on files that were otherwise unchanged, so the file list looks huge, but most of them are unaffected.

also /jquery/interface.js was added in 1.0.3 but for some wrong reason they are using the packed version which is slower because it has to be unpacked on every page load, it should be the minified only version without packing and just let gzip do the compression work between the server and the browser

I've edited down the list and removed the property-only changes

It is mostly just a security update to 1.0.2 - there are no new features.

bbPress 1.1 with additional features will have a release candidate within a week or two, however you should NOT skip this 1.0.3 update.

I upgraded this bbPress forum from bbPress 9.2 (I think) to 1.0.2:

http://www.enghavepark.dk/forum/

And now the tags are missing.

When I try to add a tag I get this error:

"The tag was not added. Either the tag name was invalid or the topic is closed."

There used to be tags.

It's an installation that is integrated with WordPress, which gave a few headaches until I got the bb-config.php adjusted.

I re-uploaded the files just to make sure it wasn't an fil upload error.

The tags table is in the db with 32 tags.

Any ideas why tags tags disappeared?

bbPress1.0.3 / bbPress1.1 shouldn't break that many plugins. My last trunk download caused some theme issues (minor), but up until the end of April there it was stable and looking might fine.

I strongly suggest you make a local copy of your current forum, and install the latest version from the trunk; and test against your plugins. Given the list that you have, there's a good chance some may fail; and others like "Subscribe to Topic" won't really be needed.

When/if this new bbpress plugin comes out, will there be a way to convert my bbpress installation into teh plugin or otherwise make it compatable?

None of us have any idea. Matt announced that the bbPress plugin was going to happen in January, then left the project. Any other information you can garnish from the WordPress blogs updates will give you more information than people involved with this project have been given.

Either way, i'm not panicing. Just irked by the lack of communication, as you're not alone in asking, and i feel for the bbPress users who are in a form of limbo.

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ ./testdirectory

I would copy over your database, then install bbPress with subversion. Then copy over your template and plugins. Then test. If it all works, then go ahead and upgrade your 1.0.1 installation.

Regarding when bbPress becomes a WordPress plugin, it doesn't really matter. Use what works for you (right now, that's a standalone installation, as you have here.) That code you have installed is never going away. If a time comes in the future where you can move to bbPress as a WordPress plugin, then go ahead and do it. But use what works for now and don't wait for any version coming in the future.

Here is my bbpress so you can see where I'm at:

1) Will my users, plugins, databases and themes all still work find and dandy if I upgrade? Is there an easier way to upgrade aside, like there is with wordpress?
2) These are my current plugins. Does anyone know any incompatability with them and the current version of bbpress?:

3) When/if this new bbpress plugin comes out, will there be a way to convert my bbpress installation into teh plugin or otherwise make it compatable?

Thanks bunches all!

Now using WordPress 3.0 and BBPress 1.02 and so far, no detectable problems. Nothing wrong with that.

:)

1. bbPress generally seems to work fine out of the box with 3.0, at least for me and a few others, so that's looking good

2. I needed zaerl's plugin for deep integration, ie using WordPress functions/template tags to pull in the WordPress header and footer. I've tested it further since, and haven't encountered any problems.

In fact, only the registration of new users was ever a problem. I had WordPress 3.0 RC and bbPress running for a few days before I even encountered that issue.

I was reading through that and got a little lost. At the end you were able to get things working with Zaerl's plugin?

Yes. There is only a little problem regarding registration (if you use deep integration) but this is solved by my plugin. If you don't use deep integration don't install it.
