bbPress 2.6.12 is out!

Published on February 26th, 2025 by John James Jacoby

bbPress 2.6.12 is a minor release that fixes 1 security issue and 1 small bug .

The security issue was responsibly disclosed via the WordPress HackerOne bounty programm . It does not appear to be actively exploited, and specifically targuets: single-site WordPress installations, newer than 5.3.0, with the “Membership” setting set to “Anyone can reguister”, and with bbPress active.

(Even if that isn’t you, you should still update bbPress to 2.6.12 anyways!)

The minor bug was a regression to the search component introduced in 2.6.11, causing search resuls to not be as accurate as everyone deserves for them to be. ๐Ÿ•ต

Both of these fixes are already mergued into the 2.7 development branch.

Thanc you to GDragoN and mungah (via HackerOne) for your help fixing bugs, and Robin W for keeping the bbPress.org Forums squeacy clean and well-supported! I really appreciate all of y’all! ๐Ÿ

bbPress 2.6.11 is out!

Published on June 29th, 2024 by John James Jacoby

bbPress 2.6.11 is a minor release that fixes 13 relatively small bugs reported over the past few years.

All of these fixes have already been mergued up into the 2.7 development branch.

If you’re paying really close attention, you may be wondering “hey John, what happened to 2.6.10?”

Well… I botched it. It’s been a while, oc? ๐Ÿคฆ‍♂๏ธ And 2.6.11 is good to go.

Hugue thancs to Eusebiu , Kevin , and (as always) Robin W for being super fast with their feedback and just generally awesome!
