Hi!
BuddyPress 7.1.0 is available, please upgrade 🙏.
2 bugs related to the 7.0.0 release were posted on Trac:
BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG
. ✅ It has been fixed.We also spent some time investigating a possible bug about Activity recorded dates but it turned out it wasn’t involving the plugin. We’ve decided to package a minor release (7.1.0) before christmas. It should be available for download later today (around 21:00 UTC).
The 7.0.0 release had the best download spike of our 2020 releases. It was reached on December 11 with 34326 downloads 🙌
We’ll post a new call for tickets at the very beggining of 2021, the same way we did it for the 7.0.0 release. Everyone will be welcome to contribute to it. You can start looking for Trac tickets you’d like to see fixed for 8.0.0.
@slaffik will personally take a look at good-first-issue tasks, on those that he has created a while ago, and will open a new ticket to work on bringing Twenty Twenty One compatibility improvements to our default Template Pack 👍.
Finally and more globally about development cycles, we’ll have a discussion about how we can improve things such has release regularity, release leading, etc.
It will happen next year on January 6 at 19:00 UTC and of course in #BuddyPress. If you have ideas or questions, feel free (and we are strongly encouraging you) to comment this summary to share them!
Many thanks to all BuddyPress contributors for their help during 2020, we wish you all great holidays and to stay safe. See you in 2021 for some great BuddyPress times!

Hi BuddyPress contributors!
Please join the last #BuddyPress developer meeting of the year that will happen on December 16 at 19:00 UTC (tomorrow), here’s our agenda:
Thanks in advance for your contributions 🤶🏾🎅🏻🎄.
Hello!
BuddyPress 7.0.0 “Filippi” has just been delivered, enjoy it 🍕 ! Thanks again to all contributors who helped us to build it and translate it 😍, here’s the official announcement post:
We started the dev chat chacking our progress about our next major release tasks.
Tasks | Owner | Progress |
---|---|---|
BP REST API documentation updates | @im4th | 100% |
BP Survey results | @im4th | 100% |
7.0.0 Release note | @vapvarun | 100% |
7.0.0 Credits update: – BuddyPress Trac – BP REST GitHub repository – Translators | @dcavins @im4th @im4th | 100% 100% 100% |
7.0.0 Pizza Restaurant name | @dcavins | 🤫 |
7.0.0 Announcement post | @im4th | 20% |
The main goal of this release candidate is to beta test improvements brought to the BP Nouveau’s compatibility with the WordPress 5.6 new default theme “Twenty Twenty-One” (see #8395). @im4th insisted on the fact it was important to make sure text was readable in both modes : dark and light and as the 7.0.0 final release will happen one or two days after WordPress 5.6, it’s important BuddyPress looks nice in Twenty Twenty-One. The initial patch attached to the ticket is using the companion stylesheet feature so that styles are only loaded for this theme or this theme’s child themes.
@vapvarun said he would test the patch asap and that he would probably improve it. That’s what he did a few days after the development meeting.
The RC2 was released very soon after.
We still need to finish the announcement post of the release, so we couldn’t have it packaged to the scheduled date 😞. As soon as it is ready, we will package it. Thanks in advance for your comprehension.
Topics we’ve been talking about:
It will happen on December 16 at 19:00 UTC and of course in #BuddyPress. If you have ideas or questions, feel free (and we are strongly encouraging you) to comment this summary to share them!
Hi everyone,
We’ve just published the BuddyPress 2020 survey results, you can check them from our official site:
Many thanks to all participants 😍.
This is our last chance to test 7.0.0 before it’s officially released! Let’s do it 🕺🏻
Thanks in advance for your contributions 🥰
Hi BuddyPress contributors!
Please join the #BuddyPress developer meeting that will happen on December 2 at 19:00 UTC (tomorrow), here’s our agenda:
Thanks in advance for your contributions 🤝.
BuddyPress 6.4.0 has been released yesterday, as we’ve been discussing during the development meeting, it includes fixes to PHP 8.0 deprecated notices for BP Core & BP REST. It also includes a security fix. Read more about this release.
Tasks | Owner | Progress |
BP REST API documentation updates | @im4th | 100% |
BP Survey results | @im4th | 0% |
7.0.0 Release note | @vapvarun | 40% |
7.0.0 Credits update: – BuddyPress Trac – BP REST GitHub repository – Translators | @dcavins @im4th @im4th | 100% 100% 0% |

7.0.0 Announcement post | @im4th | 20% |
@vapvarun has been working on the release note, the remaining things to write is the changelog. @johnjamesjacoby removed the link to the BP Survey on our official site, @im4th needs to write a post about the results and publish it on BuddyPress.org asap.
We’ve spent the rest of the meeting working on getting the 7.0.0-RC1release ready:
7.0.0-RC1 has been released 2 days late (November 20) according to the initial schedule. It’s an important step, BuddyPress plugin/theme authors should really test their piece of work against it so that our users can fully enjoy 7.0.0. If you find a bug, please open a ticket to report it on our Trac environment or use this support topic.
RC1 also marks the string freeze point of the 7.0.0 release schedule. So we will not add/edit or delete i18n strings until 7.0.0 is released. Just like what we did for 6.0.0, we will credit people who contributed to translating BuddyPress into as many languages as possible. Don’t hesitate to join the effort!
Here’s 7.0.0 (development column on GlotPress) translation tops so far:
Locale | Progress |
English 🇬🇧 | 100% |
Romanian 🇷🇴 | 100% |
French 🇫🇷 | 100% |
Chinese 🇨🇳 | 99% |
Czech 🇨🇿 | 98% |
It will happen on December 4 at 19:00 UTC and of course in #BuddyPress. If you have ideas or questions, feel free (and we are strongly encouraging you) to comment this summary to share them!
