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.
