bbPress is forum software made by the creators of WordPress. It’s simple and lightweight. It powers Theme Lab’s support forums. I was working on a bbPress theme the other day, and thought it might be a good idea to offer matching bbPress themes to go along with some of the WordPress themes here at Theme Lab.
Here are some screenshots of the TechJunkie theme for bbPress I’ve been working on…after the jump.
It was announced a few days ago that bbPress would be releasing a series of 1.0 alpha versions. These versions will be compatible with WordPress 2.6 and above, which is good news for me.
I took this opportunity to upgrade my own forums after sitting dormant for nearly a month after upgrading to WordPress 2.6. For all you people itching to ask questions in the forums, but couldn’t sign up or login, feel free to do so now.
Some of you who frequent Theme Lab’s support forums may have noticed you aren’t able to login anymore.
Why is this? WordPress 2.6 – that’s why.
The cookie changes between 2.5.1 and 2.6 are so “radical” they render the WordPress-bbPress integration useless.
When is the bbPress update coming? Apparently, not any time soon.
WordPress-bbPress users are encouraged to stick with WordPress 2.5.1 until a stable bbPress update is released, but don’t hold your breath.
If you’re using a Theme Lab theme and need support, feel free to post a comment on the release post on the blog, and I’ll try my best to get back to you.
