@Rich, thanks for the info.

Do you have to do all that stuff before the plugin can be activated?

I installed the latest branch successfully, however, when I tried to activate it, I got a WP_Error saying “The plugin does not have a valid header.”

Thanks, Rich… I’m going to go for it!

Are there instructions for installing it? I’m assuming that you just can’t install it through admin panel.

Sorry for being so adamant in trying to pin you down on what is essentially a slippery slope at this point… but…

If you, personally, HAD to make a decision today on which to install on a new live site, would you go with test plugin or stand-alone?

Thanks for your time… (and don’t worry… I won’t hold you personally responsible for the risk I incur if you say go with plugin)

Thanks, JJJ, I really appreciate your time and input. And I realize that it is just bad timing to have to have a forum up next week… But I should have been a little more specific with my question, however…

Is there any risk involved with using the stand alone version? Am I assuming correctly that when the plugin is released it will have a migration feature?

I’d really like to install the test version of the plugin… but are you saying that if I take that risk, it might not be update-able to a beta or even the released version when it comes out?

Hi, I’m just looking for some quick advice. I’m launching a site for a nonprofit organization next week which needs a community forum…

http://www.agrowingculture.org (it’s live now though)

Do you think the pre-alpha version of the plugin is stable enough to go with it or should I just use stand alone version of bbPress and migrate later?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
