bbPress 2.6.18 is a maintenance release focused on forum imports and first-login password upgrades.
Imported users can now upgrade their passwords on first login for more legacy forum formats, including cases where the original forum database is no longer available. This release also corrects PHPWind topic statuses, reply counts, and forum dates during import, and restores Super Moderator edit links on front-end bbPress user screens.
bbPress 2.6.18 requires PHP 7.2 or newer and WordPress 6.0 or newer. Sites running an older PHP version should update PHP before upgrading bbPress. Read the 2.6.18 upgrade notes for importer compatibility details.
These changes are also in the 2.7 development branch. The Plugin Directory’s development trunk remains at 2.7.0-alpha-3.
Download bbPress 2.6.18 from WordPress.org, or update from your WordPress dashboard.
