I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.
The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.
My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.
bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. In essence it is a WordPress product, written by the founder of Wordress, and taken into a plugin by sponsorship from WordPress.
There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.
I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.6.x and php 8.2 with no issues.
The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.
However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this
bbp style pack
as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.
All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.
The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.
But with open software you make your choices….
Thanks for reply but, sorry…
Installed and keymaster issue (so, nothing work, I need to fix via your plugin): this is an important issue (cannot work without the fix by your plugin).
Also, not work in FSE and also with your plugin I have bad result.
FSE is out and default theme in wp from about 4 yrs and still not supported from bbpress.
This really looks like an abandoned project.
Other minor project (like asgaros
And similar) work out of the box (install, shortcode, all work as expected).
Best regards and I really hope bbpress team can work to fix asap this issue.
I’m not trying to argue with you, just stating my opinion.
If you fancy sponsoring someone to update the plugin, contract WordPress who own it. Otherwise you are just relying on someone writing this for free in their spare time – sorry that’s how it works
