Highlights
🚀 BuddyPress will soon only load its JavaScript and style assets on the community area of your site
Let’s only load what we need when we need it… progressively! In version 11.0.0 we are taking a first step towards restricting JavaScript and Style assets loading to BuddyPress pages only. Learn more
🏞 .webp support has landed!
If your site is using WordPress 5.8 or newer, you’ll now have the ability to use .webp image files when you need to upload a profile image or a cover image. Learn more
🧶 The way BuddyPress loads deprecated code has been improved
