I’m now using 2.0 RC-1 but the backend doesn’t look all that different. Are there other plugins needed for further functionality?
I’d like to see a login or register right out front and maybe I’m just implementing this wrong as part of my blog.
http://www.jeff-foliage.com and it’s halfway down the right side with options for forum topics and conversations.
Also what themes natively support BBpress?
Well I would be happy to test it further, the plugin says its bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress. Version 2.0-beta-3
This is a plugin straight from the wordpress site I looked over the release page but I’m not sure I wanted to take a chance killing what I had…
But I can take a look at putting the files directly onto the server which is the way we used to do it. I just haven’t done it that way since they made the auto update so damn functional…
So yes I would be happy to test it out since I don’t have much into mine as of now… I noticed it did get indexed in Google for several keywords and that made me real happy… Love that SEO…
I’m using 2.0 beta 3 and it’s live on my site. http://www.jeff-foliage.com I have only had one person try it and one thing I’ve noticed (which I assume will be fixed in the final RC) is up front in your face logging in or registering of users. right now the plugin uses the subscriber permissions to be able to post to the forum but to me it seems really obscure for them to get going.
I’m also using a plugin that checks ip addresses to prevent spammers from creating accounts and I’m not sure if this will affect the final RC and creating new accounts.
I’m waiting for a RC since I don’t want to mess with manually updating the files on the server.
I hope there is a RC before fall since my site is all about fall foliage in New England and from here out until 1 Nov is my busy season..
I’ts looking good and I hope you get some good donations from this…
