BuddyPress

<p>The BP Classic add-on is being developed and maintained by the official BuddyPress development team.</p>
<p>It was first built to provide backwards compatibility to configs where third party BuddyPress plugin(s) or theme(s) – not ready yet for the BP Rewrites API (introduced in BuddyPress 12.0.0) – are activated.</p>
<p>BP Classic also includes features and templates that are fully deprecated in BuddyPress 12.0.0. Here are the ones you will now find back only once you activated the BP Classic add-on:</p>
<ul>
<li>The BP Legacy widgets (these were migrated as Blocks in BuddyPress 9.0.0).</li>
<li>The BP Default theme.</li>
<li>The BP Legacy navigation globals (<code>buddypress()->bp_nav</code> & <code>buddypress()->bp_options_nav</code>).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NB</strong>: although the BP Classic add-on only runs when the BuddyPress version is 12.0.0 or up, you can choose to anticipate the BuddyPress 12.0.0 upgrade by activating the add-on. In this case the add-on is in “sleep mode” and will wake up as soon as BuddyPress has been upgraded to 12.0.0.</p>
