BuddyPress.org

Upgrades and updates are a pain, I use the BuddyPress Trac to review changes between minor versions when upgrading and apply them one by one while ensuring that any modifications made by me stay intact.

My motto is that you should let your theme dictate the look and the UI of your BuddyPress site and I’ve modified every single directory to match the look of my theme. Upgrading to 1.2 in January will require a lot of work and I’m actually considering starting from scratch, but I love doing it – it’s like taking your Xmas toys apart and figuring out how they work.

Happy Holidays
