bbPress 2.5.11 is out, and is a maintenance release for all previous 2.x versions. 2.5.11 includes support for the soon to be released WordPress 4.7. If you’re planning on updating to WordPress 4.7 right away, you’ll want to update to bbPress 2.5.11 immediately.

If you’re using any version of bbPress 2.x and have not yet updated, please take a moment to update your bbPress installations to 2.5.11. If you’re using WordPress’s built-in updater, it should only take a click or two. If you need help, please reach out in our support forums and someone will be happy to assist you.

These fixes have also been ported over to 2.6, which we continue to run here at bbPress.org and BuddyPress.org.


Speaking of bbPress 2.6, per-forum moderators, favorites, and subscriptions are fully refactored and working pretty great. Our findings have also helped push performance improvements upstream to WordPress core, and are already employed across the forums on WordPress.org.
