BuddyPress v2.7.0 , named “Migliaccio” was released yesterday. This is a major release of the popular social network plugin for WordPress.

Note that this version of BuddyPress requires WordPress version 4.2+ to work.

Here are some of its key features:

  • Accessibility improvements: Universal access in both back- & front-end screens and on more screen sizes. It is now easier to filter your members and groups by type from the WordPress dashboard itself.
  • Performance improvements: Minor tweaks and optimizations to the codebase ensure that BuddyPress is leaner than before.
  • Date and time inprovements: v2.7 brings localized timestamps and improved profile date fields to improve how data will be collected and displayed on your website.
  • Email subscription management: Directly facilitate the removal of any or all subscriptions via email tokens and unsubscribe links.

These are just a few of the many, many features, tweaks and improvements that this version brings. For a list of all the changes, please refer to the official release changelog.
