In case anyone was still curious following my previous headache post, it is possible to integrate WP2.6 and bbPress 0.9.0.2. I say “possible” because while I’ve got it working as far as I can tell (without having modified core code in either WP or bbP), I haven’t really tested it and it’s a mess. More [...]

Now, I’m really big on *not* complaining about new versions of things and I especially dislike the practice of complaining about how a new version of WordPress broke some plugin that is of dire importance to someone’s website, but WordPress 2.6 is starting to give me a headache.
