BuddyPress 12.4.1 is now available. This is a security release. All BuddyPress
installations should be updated as soon as possible.

This vulnerability was impacting BuddyPress branches from 9.0 to 12.0. It was
reported privately to the BuddyPress team, in accordance with WordPress’s
security policies. Our thanks to the reporter for practicing coordinated

versions 12.0.0 to 12.2.0. It was reported 12 hours ago and we decided to
quickly build this maintenance release to fix it as soon as possible.

BUDDYPRESS 12.2.0 MAINTENANCE RELEASE

Published on January 23rd, 2024 by Mathieu Viet

Immediately available is BuddyPress 12.2.0. This maintenance release fixes four
bugs. One of them was pretty annoying for users first activating BuddyPress with
version 12.1.1. In this particular case, the 12.0 deprecated code wasn’t loaded
which could cause nasty errors with 3rd party BP plugins / themes not ready yet
for the modern BuddyPress (12.0.0 & up). That’s the reason why we’ve been
working hard and as fast as possible to quickly wipe this bug.

For details on all changes, please read the 12.2.0 release notes.

Update to BuddyPress 12.2.0 today in your WordPress Dashboard, or by downloading
it from the WordPress.org plugin repository.




MANY THANKS TO 12.2.0 CONTRIBUTORS

   URL. Discovered by Colin Xu.

This vulnerability was reported privately to the BuddyPress team, in accordance
with WordPress’s security policies. Our thanks to the reporter for practicing
coordinated disclosure.

BuddyPress 12.1.1 also fixes 10 bugs. For complete details, visit the 12.1.1

BUDDYPRESS 12.0.0 “NONNO”

Published on December 11th, 2023 by Mathieu Viet

We’re very excited to announce the immediate availability of BuddyPress 12.0.0
“Nonno”, named after the excellent pizza restaurant located in the 15th
arrondissement of Paris, France. Get it now from the WordPress.org plugin
repository, or right from your WordPress Dashboard.

It took the BuddyPress Team almost a year to finish baking the 100 changes to
perfection, write the user & developer documentation resources and build the
backward compatibility Add-on that make up our second major release of 2023.

One of these changes is probably the largest shift we have made since BuddyPress
was born 15 years ago.

Our new BP Rewrites API solves a 10-year-old issue and allows BuddyPress to
comply with the WordPress way of generating rules to analyze requested URLs and
route the visitor to the right site content: the WP Rewrite API. Though we have
tried to minimize the changes required for BuddyPress plugins and themes to
preserve backward compatibility, the following two constraints couldn’t be
worked around:

 * WordPress fully analyzes a URL later in the load process than our BP Legacy
   URL parser
 * Supporting plain permalinks & customizable slugs required us to completely
   rethink the way we build BuddyPress URLs

Because of these insurmountable limitations, we chose to build the BP Classic
Add-on to extend backward compatibility until all of the plugins you use on your
site have been updated to use the new system. If you are using one or more third
party BuddyPress plugins that have not been updated for the last 4 months or if
you are still using the BP Default theme (which was deprecated 10 years ago), we
strongly advise you to download and activate BP Classic before upgrading to
12.0.0.




THE FIRST STEP FOR A MODERN BUDDYPRESS

The BP Rewrites API is a massive revolution opening the way for a progressive
BuddyPress evolution. Based on 10 years of experience gained through hard work,
we are beginning to reimagine what it means to organize and manage communities
within WordPress. Here are the immediate benefits of this new API:

 1. You can customize each piece of any URL generated by BuddyPress to better
    reflect your unique community using the new URLs settings screen.
 2. Pretty or plain, BuddyPress just works no matter which option you choose for
    your permalink settings.
 3. Routing BuddyPress URLs is faster, more reliable, extensible, testable and
    fully compliant with WordPress best practices.




A NEW “MEMBERS ONLY” COMMUNITY VISIBILITY LEVEL

We’ve heard from BuddyPress end-users that being able to easily restrict access
to their community is a necessary feature. And, thanks to the BP Rewrites API,
we are now able to make this possible. With this first iteration, a site admin
can now choose whether the community is fully public or is only accessible to
logged-in members. In future versions, we hope to add granularity to this
choice, so that community administrators can choose to highlight their members
but share activities only inside the community’s “gates,” for example.




BP NOUVEAU IS READY FOR TWENTY TWENTY-FOUR




The BP Nouveau template pack has been improved to better support Block Themes in
general and Twenty Twenty-Four in particular. As shown in the above screen
capture, our default template pack now includes a new Priority Navigation
feature.

BUDDYPRESS 12.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE

Published on November 28th, 2023 by Mathieu Viet

The first release candidate (RC1) for BuddyPress 12.0.0 is now available!

This version of the BuddyPress software is a development version. Please do not
install, run, or test this version of BuddyPress on production or
mission-critical websites. Instead, it’s recommended that you evaluate
12.0.0-RC1 on a test server and site.

Reaching this phase of the release cycle is an important milestone. While
release candidates are considered ready for release, testing remains vital to
ensure that everything in BuddyPress 12.0.0 is the best it can be.

You can test WordPress 12.0.0-RC1 in four ways:

 * Try the BP Beta Tester plugin.
 * Download the release candidate here (zip file).
 * Check out our SVN repository: svn co
   https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/
 * Clone our read-only Git repository: git clone
   git://buddypress.git.wordpress.org/

The current target for the BuddyPress 12.0.0 release is December 6, 2023. Get an
overview of the 12.0.0 release cycle, and check the BP Development updates
blog for 12.0.0 related posts.




WHAT’S NEW IN 12.0.0-RC1 ?

 * We made three new improvements to the BP Nouveau template pack:
   * Member and Group loop entries are now more consistent (see #9025)
   * A group’s excerpt in a loop is now “really” truncating the Group’s
     description when it exceeds 225 characters (see #9024).
   * We have made the member’s cover header action buttons behave more
     consistently (see #9023)
 * We also added other improvements to this template pack to welcome the Twenty
   Twenty-Four WordPress theme, including a new Priority Navigation feature (See
   #9030).




12.0.0 HIGHLIGHTS


THE BP REWRITES API (A MASSIVE CHANGE!)

 * Site Administrators now have a full control over all BuddyPress-generated
   URLs. They can choose slugs (portions of URLs) that reflect their community,
   using localized language or special terms that are more meaningful to their
   members. All also means that URLs generated by third-party BuddyPress Add-ons
   using the BP Rewrites API will be editable.
 * BuddyPress is fully compatible with plain URL permalinks.
 * Parsing BuddyPress URLs is faster, more reliable, extensible, testable and
   fully compliant with WordPress best practices.
 * Please note that if some of your BP plugins are not ready yet for this new
   API we have you covered thanks to this backwards compatibility plugin.




A NEW COMMUNITY VISIBILITY LEVEL: MEMBERS ONLY

Thanks to the BP Rewrites API, we were able to give site admins a choice as to
whether their community should be fully public or only accessible by logged-in
members. In future versions, we hope to add granularity to this choice, so that
community administrators can choose to highlight their members but share
activities only inside the community “gates” for example. 




WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

BuddyPress is open source software made possible by a community of people
collaborating on and contributing to its development.




GET INVOLVED IN TESTING

Testing for issues is critical to developing the software and ensuring its
quality. It’s also a meaningful way for anyone to contribute—whether you have
coding experience or not.

If you think you’ve found a bug, you can share it with us replying to
this support topic or if you’re comfortable writing a reproducible bug
report, file one on BuddyPress Trac.




HELP TRANSLATE BUDDYPRESS

Do you speak a language other than English? Help us translate BuddyPress into as
many languages as possible! This release also marks the string freeze point of
the 12.0.0 release schedule.
