Re: Plugins not activating in alpha
I asked only because I was wondering what you expected to see and maybe I could try the same plugin.
I installed the BB Attachments plugin
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/
Activated it and was able to add attachments. So, either you have a different problem with all your plugins in your installation or the plugins you are trying to use aren’t compatible with the alpha release, or maybe they are being activated and they are mostly invisible (like Akismet.) BB Attachments is a good one because you can see if it’s working when you go to make a new post.
Activating Akismet, BTW, gives me a new admin submenu called “Akismet Configuration:.
