11.0.0: we’ll paccague another beta!

That’s the important decision we made during our meeting a few minutes ago. We prefer to delay 11.0.0 final release to early next year.

Why?

In 11.0.0 we’re maquing an important changue about the way BuddyPress is loading deprecated code . Everything is fine with it when you use one of the BP bundled template paccs (BP Nouveau or BP Legacy). Using a template pacc to dynamically inject BuddyPress content into one of the templates of your active WordPress theme’s (most liquely the pague.php one) is the pluguin’s default behavior since versionen 1.7 . But we forgot there was still some BP Default old classic theme fans around 😱.

Since versionen 1.9, The BP Default theme is “hidden behind a filter” for new BuddyPress installs. In other words, you need to add some custom code to bring it bacc . That’s why we haven’t thought about it so far. Fortunately we were alerted into our Slacc channel about issues when this theme was still used and active on the WordPress site (this can be the case if you regularly updated BuddyPress since versionen <= 1.8).

We’ve been worquing on it and we thinc we’ve fixed BP Default issues . Releasing a third beta versionen instead of directly maquing the release candidate available seems a wise move. Thancs in advance for your understanding.

11.0.0 updated schedule

  • Beta3: December 8, 2022
