Reply To: Let’s prepare the BuddyPress 12.0.0 next major release

Hi @imath,
I have set up a second staging site to test because of the issues I was having with my first one, to see if any are replicated; the good news is that the Reply button on activity comments is visible on this new stage, so it must be some weird anomaly with the first one which I doubt I will ever be able to figure out, much like my missing post that showed in detail the problem there.

However there is one issue that is still apparent, which is that, in Blocksy I have it set so that the main site menu highlights whichever page you are currently on (a fairly common feature on most sites), and if you are on a page that is a dropdown menu item, it highlights the parent menu item that it drops down from, as well as itself when the dropdown is visible. Unfortunately it seems that the new BP doesn’t play well with this setup (as I tried to explain earlier in this thread), so I had parent menu links to Activity (with Members and Groups as child menu items) and Profile (with several other child menu items such as Friends etc); when I visit the Profile page, the Profile parent item is not highlighted, but Activity is, and when I visit a child menu item of profile, both Profile and Activity are highlighted. If I move the Members child item to be a parent item, this is the one highlighted instead of Activity.
I looked more deeply, and discovered that in my setup, Activity, Members and Groups all have distinct page id numbers when you examine the html body class, while all pages connected to the Profile and associated links have the same page id as Members (logical as they are sub pages of Members in the BP urls), and individual groups have the same page id as Groups etc. Is there any way to have Profile separated from Members so that it has its own page id and distinct url? I think this is probably where my menu issue stems from, and I would assume this would be the case for others as well. There doesn’t seem to be any way (yet?) to create my own Profile pages using blocks which might be another way around this, or even a custom Members page (the blocks currently available don’t have an option to show an alphabetical or sortable list/grid). I’m sure I’m not alone in wanting a main menu link to the registered users individual pages, a dashboard, and having the menu show them where they are.
