    Hi all,

    This is a two-fold question.

    Firstly, when I try to install the bbPress plugin for site-wide forums, I get the following notices screaming across my admin pages:

    Notice: add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead. in /home/sfish/domains/seriouslyfish.com/public_html/dev/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3467

    Secondly, if I were to find an alternative forum plugin for my WordPress installation, would it cause any compatibility issues with BuddyPress, or would I just de-select the forum component?

    bbPress bugs are best reported on http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

    Saw this: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1699
    You’re seeing that because WP_DEBUG is set to true in your wp-config.php, make it false

    @mercime I’m not sure that would be considered best practice… :) I’m developing a bespoke CMS with WordPress using Custom Post Types and I need WP_DEBUG on to make sure everything is running smoothly.

    If it’s going to take bbPress in excess of 4 weeks to fix a seemingly simple bug with help menus, I’m not too confident about keeping the software installed.

    If you have the time and the means to create a patch, by all means feel free to do so.
