December 5th Support Team Meeting Summary

We had a short and quiet meeting this week, folks are busy preparing for holidays and such, so this isn’t a surprise at all 🙂

Announcments

WordPress 5.3.1-RC1 is scheduled for this week, on December 11th.

Checking in with international liaisons

Members from some of our international parts of the community, including Russia, Italy, India, Brazil, and Sweden, were available during this weeks meeting.

Open floor

Slowness on the forums

A question about the bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org. update, and current slowness on the forums was brought up.

The current slowdown on the forums is relating to missing caching for certain actions. This is notably the case when moderators perform certain tasks, like approving pending posts, or when users post replies to topics.

The bbPress team are aware of the issues, and will be looking into this.

HelpHub role assignments

There’s currently a limitation in HelpHub, which means it’s not possible to add a HelpHub editor or manager to someone who has not previously participated in the forums in some way.

A ticket, #meta-4890, was made for this and can be watched for future updates on the matter.

As has become customary, our weekly musical marvel is by the wonderful Sigrid.
