Have you noticed the BuddyPress has moved onto v1.1? Well, the Beta was announced a few days ago which was quite lucky for me actually. I’ve been working with BuddyPress on a couple of sites and had decided to do with an interim release for one of them.
There are a few changes in this release, but the biggest one for me is the change in theming strategy. BuddyPress now uses child themes which makes it much easier to create an manage all the different pages in the site. Child themes work a bit like adding bed wedges to a bed; you have the same underlying theme, but you’ve overlaid it with something that can change the shape, style and layout of what you’re building.
So, go get the new download, but make sure you read the instructions on how you migrate to the latest version.
