Yes, Buddypress is a little dated. Some core features that should be there that aren’t, like security. Using both platforms. I’ve used Buddypress more as it has been out longer. Buddyboss is nice. It’s most of what Buddypress should be. But, I can’t say that I truly agree with the way Buddyboss has used Buddypress. Or, the other plugin developers either. They copied (forked)Buddypress, copied (forked) some other plugins, and called it a new platform.

So, Fair is fair, Buddypress team. Get a copy of Buddyboss. Edit and use the features you need for Buddypress. Send Buddyboss a thank you for their contributions. Let everyone know that Buddypress 12 is ready 😂

Also, blocks for all buddypress components. This will make styling member areas so much easier. I’m in the middle of building a project now Buddypress and was just thinking Buddypress blocks for components will be so great.

Example, one of the features of this site is customer to sales direct messaging. So I need to style the message component to fit the styling of the my account page. Hide Buddypress profile and header and nav bar as this should be an account page like for woocommerce. Only the messages should show. It would be great if we could just drag the messages component block on to a page like we do with the comments block or the query block.
