BuddyPress 3.0.0 “Apollo” is now officially out. Along with a variety of internal improvements, this major release adds WP-CLI support and JavaScript-powered templates for full integration with WordPress’ Customizer.
BuddyPress 8.0 will introduce personalized membership invitations and a new notification email that will automatically welcome new members into your community. 🤝
Daniel Bachhuber added new features to RESTful WP-CLI, including being able to natively use WP-CLI over SSH. Since the Kickstarter money has been used, this is likely the last productivity update. Daniel also notes that he is putting together “a massive retrospective post about using Kickstarter to fund open source,” so stay tuned for that.
Bob puts out so much writing and audio at Do the Woo and has so many different people featured, it’s hard to keep up! These are some recent ones I’ve taken note of but didn’t get into a post or newsletter. Definitely worth a listen:
Sign up soon to mentor and be a part of the upcoming women and nonbinary release squad. Join the Test team in building a block theme. WP-CLI 2.8.0 is coming soon with PHP 8.2 compatibility. Get the latest updates on the WordPress.org redesign.
BuddyPress 6.3.0 is out with some bug fixes, so make sure you are updated. According to the latest dev chat notes, we might see a 7.0 release in October. 🍂
AppCommunity allows AppPresser customers to create a social mobile app for their WordPress website. AppCommunity users can post activity updates, photos, create friendships, send private messages, join groups, etc. It works with BuddyPress using the WP-API to sync your website with the app.
