With bbPress 0.73 out, bbPress is much better equipped to handle localization to whatever language you speak. We’d like to encourage such localization by offering a centralized resource for localization files, support and anything else needed by the international community. Please leave a comment here to let us know what language you speak (and fill […]

After a couple of weeks of kicking the tires, we’ve decide we’ve fixed enough bugs to put out a new version of bbPress. So here it is: 0.73, the latest in the bbPress “Bix” series. The changes in brief: Improved rewrite rules generation Template cleanup Much better support for non-English forums including support for right-to-left […]

I just came across the original post announcing bbPress on my blog. It’s interesting to read back on that post and comments, like going back through a time warp. Richard Boakes, one of the first users of Akismet, has a nice summary of the benefits of bbPress. Jazzle says,  “bbPress is a fantastic example of […]

We’ve now gone around the site, swept up the corners and shined the mantel. If you visited when things first launched you’ll notice everything is tidier now. Please take a look around!

There have been a few template changes recently. post-form.php should no longer have <form> opening or closing tags. These tags are included by the post_form() template tag. Same for tag-form.php and tag_form(). edit_form() no longer needs any parameters. login-failed.php has been moved to login.php.

I’ve done a quick pass over the bbPress API to clean up the obvious API oddities. I’ll also soon be looking for redundant actions and filters. This may break some of your plugins, but will hopefully make things easier for everyone in the end. There will likely be quite a few changes over the next […]
