    After our site updated to WP4.7 the forums page is now a blank. Looking around I see some mentions that we should update to bbPress 2.5.12. (we are on 2.5.10) But it appears that is not so easy in Commons in a Box.

    Do we have to wait for a general CBox update? Or is there a way to update bbPress independently?

    Hi Tom, thanks for reporting this – I can reproduce the symptoms that you see on my test installs. The way to update bbPress independently from the rest of the CBOX plugins is as follows:

    1) Add the following line to your wp-config.php file:

    define('CBOX_OVERRIDE_PLUGINS', true);

    2) Visit your “Plugins” page in WordPress admin (or network admin) and update bbPress

    3) Optionally remove the line of code from wp-config.php

    Cheers, Christian

    Thanks for that info. Late yesterday I realized that if I disabled the CBox plugin, I could update bbPress. so I did that, the re-enabled CBox – that worked. Your solution is probably better.

     

    Thanks!
