bbPress 0.9 [Edited]
Posted on | April 3, 2008 Tags Automattic, bbPress, WordPress
Automattic released version 0.9 of its forum software bbPress today. If you’re not running a bbPress site or a forum site as of today, jump over to bbPress.org and download your own copy and start with the forum thingy.
If you are using earlier versions of bbPress, and would like to upgrade - I would advise to wait. That is not so easy. Well, the copying part of files is easy, and so is the few clicks you have to make to install it, and then the system upgrades you database - almost.
I don’t know if it is just me, but the password fields don’t get the proper upgrade it needs. They’ve changed the way the password are hashed in the DB, and the password field still holds the same old MD5 hash.
I solved that problem this way;
- Register a new user
- Login with new user and change the password to what you want
- Open you DB with phpMyAdmin (or something like that)
- Copy the content of the password field of your new user
- Paste that in to the password field of your KeyMaster user
- Log in with your KeyMaster and have fun
The sad thing is that I have not found a way to change the rest of the users…
But the new bbPress, looks great! Again good work from the Automattic crew :-)
[Edit]
There is now a new release 0.9.0.1 that solves this problem. You only need the pluggable.php file from the new release to solve the log in problem.
