Available immediately is bbPress 2.1 RC 1. RC stands for ‘release candidate’ which means we think bbPress 2.1 is good to go, and it’s up to y’all to let us know if it’s not. We’re confident you can use RC 1 on a live site without bursting your balloon, but please let us know if […]

Today we tagged bbPress 2.1 beta 1 in the WordPress.org plugin repository. This means we think it’s ready to release to everyone but want to get a few extra eyes on things before we do. It’s the second major iteration of bbPress as a plugin for your self-hosted WordPress powered website, and we think it’s […]

Available immediately is bbPress 2.0.2. This maintenance release adds proper template redirects for logged-in users, and fixes a few bugs with the freshness recounter and closing topics. If you already have bbPress 2.0.1 installed, updating to 2.0.2 is a cinch via the WordPress dashboard. If you’re still thinking of moving from a bbPress 1.x powered […]

In hot pursuit of BuddyPress 1.5 follows bbPress 2.0! No longer are the days of elaborate xml-rpc connections or impossible to figure-out cookie configurations! No more are the integration woes, complex theme arrangements, or separate dashboards! bbPress 2.0 represents a complete rethink of how to fit forums inside WordPress in the simplest, most elegant way […]

Available immediately is bbPress 2.0 RC 5 “Can we have a pool, dad?” edition.

Available immediately is bbPress 2.0 Beta 3, chock full of fixes and enhancements to help smooth out the integration of bbPress into your existing WordPress.org powered site. Your feedback has been super helpful, and there’s been so much testing we think a sarcastic cake-promising robot may be involved somewhere. You know the drill; this is […]

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 […]

If you haven’t been keeping up with our progress over the past few months, you’re in for a treat. bbPress 1.0.3 is due out any day, as is 1.1 Release Candidate 1 which includes new features like email notification on follow-up posts and anonymous posting. There’s also a lot going on under the hood of the […]

After the release of 1.0-RC-2 there was a lot of great feedback both in the support forums and on Trac. Some new issues came up around WordPress integration, caching and SQL query performance which were simply too important to leave out of the final 1.0 release. After taking careful aim at these issues I’ve decided […]

Yesterday we pushed the first release candidate for bbPress 1.0 out the door. You can grab it from the download page. Over the next few weeks there will be a (relatively) rapid progression of “RC” releases as we move towards a final release of 1.0 bbPress is almost stable enough to use on a live […]
