Hi BuddyPress community members!
The first release candidate for BuddyPress 7.0.0 is ready for a last round of testing!
This is an important milestone as we progress toward the BuddyPress 7.0.0 final release date. “Release Candidate” means that we think the new version is ready for release, but with more than 200,000 active installs, hundreds of BuddyPress plugins, thousands of WordPress themes, and many possible specific WordPress configurations it’s possible we missed one or more details.
BuddyPress 7.0.0 is slated for release on December 9th, 2020. Do you want to help us get there? Here’s how you can:
- This release candidate also marks the string freeze point of the 7.0.0 release schedule, so if you you speak a language other than English, please help us translate BuddyPress into many languages!
- You are a BuddyPress Plugin and/or Theme developer? You should test your code against BuddyPress 7.0.0. If you find compatibility problems, please report a ticket on our Trac environment.
- You are using BuddyPress and can easily set up a staging environment? Please use our Beta Tester plugin or directly install the Release Candidate on your staging site to make sure everything works as expected for you. If not: tell us what’s wrong on Slack or reply to this specific support topic with a detailed explanation of your trouble.
- You are a WordPress news writer? We’d love you to share this post with your readers: the more testers, the better!
It’s always best to anticipate than having a bad surprise after updating the plugin from your WordPress Dashboard: get involved!
What to expect from BuddyPress 7.0.0
First, note that BP 7.0.0 will require at least version 4.9 of WordPress. Then, read an overview of its top features in the post we published to announce the first beta of 7.0.0. If you would like more detail, you can read our 7.0.0 developer notes.
Thanks in advance for your contributions!

Yeah… this is awesome. But have you fixed the Register, email, Acitvate and log in issues?
What about support? I had been waiting WEEKS for support, nothing.
I even created a new account “just in case”, but nope. Nothing. Nada.
I am SOOOO close to just saying forget all about buddypress… gonna wait a couple days to see if MAYBE someone there cares enough about supporting those who trust you… Not sure why.
When I look at the number of “cases” of people asking for support, many of which are MONTHS if not YEARS old… and still not a single of of your awesome peers cares enough to help them out… not sure it’s really a “community” as much as a platform for developers to sell services and products.
Really sucks man… with a bit more attention you could have a lot of happy people with functioning websites.
Or is that extra? like, for a fee maybe?
Hi,
From what I see, you asked for support 5 days ago. I’ve just replied to it.
Have two things to point out.
1. The activity field is too narrow in mobile!
2. “Last comment” – Archive – Categories The headings are close to the mobile edge, ie right next to the outer edge of the mobile.
3. The distance between the group cover / profile picture and the group information / activity field is too large! a larger empty field there !, see the picture. This was fixed on the profile page with the latest RC update, but the problem is still in groups!
Hi Ketil,
I think this can happen for some themes. I saw you posted a ticket on our Trac environment, solved your issue and shared how you did so on the ticket. Thanks a lot for your contribution <3
