 * Upgrade bbPress to a non-conflicting version.

 * Otto42 I have version 0.8.2.1 thats the latest…. So I removed for now the last
   to lines of php codes in wp-config.php : if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )
    require_once(
   ABSPATH.’/bbpress/bb-load.php’); Everything is working now but waiting for a 
   better solution. Thanks

 * The better solution is to upgrade bbPress. It hasn’t been released yet, but you
   can get the latest version from their SVN repository.
