Surprise! The development of bbPress 2.0 is progressing faster than expected! We released Beta 1 only six days ago, and today we’re releasing Beta 2. Huge props go out to everyone that’s already test driving Beta 1. The rapid pre-release cycle is due entirely to you, and sour cream and onion potato chips. 🙂
Remember that this is still very much beta software, so don’t go using it on your production sites. If you’re a plugin or theme developer, or a site administrator, you should be running this on test environments and reporting any bugs you find. If you’re a loyal bbPress user who is anxious to see what the future of bbPress looks like, create a secondary WordPress test site and let us know what you think about it in the support forums.
The plan is to keep releasing Beta’s as changes go in, put out release candidates in the next few weeks, and release bbPress 2.0 by the end of June (in tandem with WordPress 3.2.) The more you help us polish the new paint during the beta period means a shinier and longer lasting 2.0, and the more likely we are to stay on schedule and hit our release goals.
Here are some of the important changes since Beta 1:
- GlotPress integration
- Fixes Forum archive bug on some installations
- Fixes and improvements to importer
- Adds home link support to breadcrumb
- Adds missing breadcrumbs to various template files
- Adds filters for future anti-spam support
- Improvements to templates and CSS
- Improvements to Theme Compatibility
- Improved RTL support
- Improved multisite support
- Topic/reply trash fixes
W00t! 😉
Woah! Now that’s fast.
How many Beta releases and/or Release Candidates will occur?
Without knowing this information, it because confusing reading statements like “Remember that this is still very much beta software, so don’t go using it on your production sites. ”
It makes you assume that this is more like Alpha software and not Beta or release candidate worthy.
Sorry that you’re confused. If you’re not comfortable running prerelease software, don’t… if you can setup a testing environment to help us out, great! 🙂
There is no ‘maximum number’ of betas or release candidates. It takes as many as it takes, and we hope it doesn’t take very many. 🙂
@JJJ
If you don’t know how many betas/release-candidates you will have prior to production roll out … then why even release this current beta right now at all?
That implies that the code is no where near ready for production yet with your response.
Great work.. Thanks..
Nice work! 😀
Any special way we should update or will replacing the files do the job?
You should get the auto-update notice from within your WordPress dashboard. If not, deleting the
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/folder, recreating it, and replacing the files is the best way to go.Wow! Great work. 🙂
Eagerly waiting for both WordPress 3.2 and bbPress 2.0.
Heck yea. It’s nice to see people working on BBPress. I really love it but it doesn’t get as much as love as it should. This is great news!
Great work guys, lets hope that in six more days we will have another beta! 🙂
Thanks for helping out with RTL support. 🙂
we are not done yet, many more rtl issues. (check this out – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1537)
Just want to say bbPress 2 is shaping up very nicely! Keep up the good work!

I am looking forward to checking out how it plays with normal /themes. I did not like the few themes there were out for BBPress. Love it stil tho. 🙂
@JJJ
You should convert the bbpress.org forum on this site to use 2.0Beta - that'd be the quickest way to identify bugs and iron out all remaining problems[…] Right now bbPress 2.0 is still not necessarily ready for use on a live site yet, but bbPress theme and plugin developers are encouraged to start testing now. More info about bbPress 2.0 read on here […]

How can we translate this awesome plugin to other langugages?
Thank you very much.
If my memero serves me right, it’s already supported. Just read how to translate wordpress into your language. It’s the same process.

Our wonderful plugin that I did not know!
I just downloaded and installed, and already tested!
He is very good, and to help even more would like to describe some improvements that I just think!
1 – It would be interesting to add it to a special shortcode that can be called in a page!
2 – The login widget would be interesting to also include the option to register!
The improvements would be those who give so far!
I’m testing it here and I quite describe these improvements in the same post in the plugin bbpress!
Thanks for plugin
Staff if any such improvements described by me! please let me know and sorry! I did not find them here!
Should i expect any problems with upgrading from bbpress beta 2 to bbpress 2 final?? Because i need the forum now and i can’t wait till the end of june
Ability to add custom Permalink Features ？ I think we all feel that this is very important. My English is poor, you can understand what I mean？
Can I switch from standlone 1.0.2 to Plugin 2.0? I have tried just replacing the files and my WordPress admin won’t load afterwards.
Any updates on 2.0? We’re in the middle of a buddpress project and need to an update the client on what’s happening.
Thanks for your great work!
Hey, I’d like to use BBpress on my Temple Run website, Will there be continuous updates for this? I don’t want to install it and then find it it’s not being maintained properly.
Thanks
John
bbPress has been around since 2005, and is truly ingrained in the WordPress culture. It’s safe to say that as long as there is WordPress, there is bbPress.
