SerSo.com has been upgraded again. At the speed and frequency new releases of WordPress are made available, this is a bit crazy, but one thing I am happy with: their “upgrade” feature. The 5 minute install, the export and the upgrade features do make a lot for WordPress.

In a certain way, it compensates for many other shortcomings of the engine itself. I still am not completely accomodated to the idea that one doesn’t have any simple way to get the page slug, for instance, and there are many more like that.

I’ll stop complaining because I realize that this is community development driven, and I, for one, haven’t contributed anything to it. I will, I will!

As you might have already noticed, I integrated BBPress with WordPress, right here. It was not easy, nor straightforward, unlike folks around the web might have had you believe it.

I will open a discussion in my forum about this, as I will post an article describing what I had to do to make it work. In the end, it was all about lack of clear and updated information on the part of those bbpress blokes, but I finally found out that you should not try to integrate the latest WordPress with BBPress ’cause of cookies integration. It was simple, after all and I had to downgrade my WP version to 2.5.1 and all was well and yes, straightforward from then on. What wasn’t simple was to find out about it!…

My project involves a lot of customization of BBPress and I will make it public domain here. My code and such will be published under some shareable license as well.
