I had read somewhere about the campaign and couldn’t remember where I had seen it. I came here hoping there would be something about it. I’m glad you posted.

IMO, something like this should be known to the community.

Just to push back a little on this one. There are a couple of key ways in which BP’s current permalink router is not ideal (it’s not amenable to caching; it’s not non-pretty-permalink friendly; it’s hard to write unit tests for it; it leaves some slugs difficult to change). Moving toward the WP Rewrite API is a…[Read more]

That said, removing comments isn’t where you should start.

a fragment caching system

I totally agree with you, and would love to see fragment caching in BuddyPress (or more generally in WordPress)

That being said, if WordPress doesn’t include caching in core, it’s highly unlikely that BuddyPress would. If you created a ticket for this in Trac, it would probably quickly be closed as plugin…[Read more]

I don’t really see why you think custom post types is a BP issue but then again maybe I just need a solid explanation of what benefits it would have towards the BP components. When I said I resolved all of my issues with BP I meant my personal issues and not the worlds! Everyone has different requirements, I have just fixed all of mine. Cheers!

When a new version of BuddyPress is released and you decide to upgrade, you’ll lose all of the changes you’ve made to BuddyPress core files. Poedit enables you to change labels, URLs and text without editing any BuddyPress core files so you are free to upgrade painlessly each time a new version of the software is released.

BuddyPress Registration Options is similar to this idea but it only allows a user to fill out their profile and upload an avatar until the admin approves their account.
