Hi!
Our next documentation meeting will happen on June 12, 2024, at 19:00 UTC (today) in #BuddyPress. Here’s our agenda:
If you have specific/additional points you need to discuss, please share them in the comments area of this post.
#docs-chatWe started the meeting discussing about the fact we were out of sync about chat leading turns. We’ve reset the order:
@vapvarun will lead next docs meeting!
We achieved 1 migration task, our current status is 40%. A 1% increase is progressing!
@vapvarun wondered why we have 2 different documentation tasks about this topic: #247 (<- he submitted a PR about its migration 💪) & #250 which informs about the buddypress Theme support. @im4th explained this template hierarchy is slightly different whether you are overriding a Template Pack template or a standalone BP Theme template. We’ll soon use a lot more the buddypress Theme support to check whether a standalone theme supports BP Components specific features.
We’ve found 2 bugs:
bp_email_set_content_type filter is not behaving as expected. See #9169: @dcavins fixed it 💪.@im4th suggested we look into using wp_mail() function to send BP Emails as it supports multipart emails. It should let us enjoy WP SMTP plugins.
@vapvarun also shared Matt’s post about WordPress 21th anniversary which includes a nice mention to bbPress and BuddyPress.
Forums should be front and center in the community. bbPress and BuddyPress need some love.
Matt Mullenweg
We 💯 agree!
It will happen (today!) on June 12, 2024 at 19:00 UTC in #BuddyPress.
Hi!
Our next documentation meeting will happen on May 29 at 19:00 UTC (today) in #BuddyPress. Here’s our agenda:
If you have specific/additional points you need to discuss, please share them in the comments area of this post.
Between April 24 & May 16:
We achieved 3 migration tasks, 43 were remaining at the time of the meeting. @emaralive informed the team we increased by 5 points our global ratio about what needs to be done compared to what has been actually done. Our current status is 39%.
PS: we also agreed, it was simpler to only track this ratio for next meetings.
@vapvarun alerted the team on the increase of support topics about issues getting the activation emails to effectively reach the registered users. It’s not an easy issue to fix, that’s why we need a documentation page to explain how to troubleshoot it.
@vapvarun also shared his plans about working on PR for these 3 other migrate tasks:
@im4th informed it was too early to work on Sitewide Notices documentation as he was actively working on an important change about it during BP 14.0.0 development cycle.

Between April 10 & April 24, we haven’t progressed much about documentation. We were very busy working on the 12.4.1 security release and on the 14.0.0 tickets.
@vapvarun shared with us the great work he’s been doing into this area to prepare a documentation resource about it. He made 4 videos to explain the 4 possible BP Multisite configs:
@im4th shared his feelings about all these set-ups : as we’re a short contributor team, we need to prioritize what we document according to the “popularity” of the set-up (in terms of number of people using it). Let’s pick the 2 or 3 most used configs and concentrate on their documentations.
@vapvarun picked the 3 first configs to work on a PR he has since submitted 💪 . He also plans to work on pushing PRs about these 2 other migrate tasks:
@emaralive has been referencing all BP Admin Screens needing a documentation link into this GH discussion. We decided to share migrate tasks about these documentation pages this way:
@emaralive made a very interesting “map” of all Admin places where BuddyPress is adding pages.
@vapvarun introduced Pooja Sahgal to the team, she will regularly contribute to BP Forums, welcome on board 😍.
It will happen on May 15, 2024 at 19:00 UTC in #BuddyPress. (We decided to postpone meetings by a week to fully test BuddyPress 12.4.1 & prepare a 12.5 minor release).
Hi!
Our next documentation meeting will happen on April 24 at 19:00 UTC (today) in #BuddyPress. Here’s our agenda:
If you have specific/additional points you need to discuss, please share them in the comments area of this post.
Phase 1 (a.k.a., BP Codex migration meta task ) was completed which resulted in a total quantity of 271 BP Codex pages reviewed, which netted 208 pages to be ignored and 63 pages to be migrated.
The actual count of issues created were:
For Phase 2 (a.k.a., BP Documentation meta task) the main emphasis is document creation and, if necessary, the updating of documents previously created during Phase 1, as well as Phase 2.
A question was posed (by @emaralive) as to the presentation of statistics for Phase 2; IOW, what should be included? @im4th suggested:
In an effort to help facilitate the tracking and gathering of metrics for the statistics @emaralive suggested and completed action to archive the 208 ignore issues. This left a total of 71 issues of which 24 issues were completed , by @im4th and @vapvarun, (status of Done) during Phase 1, which left 47 open issues (status of Todo and In Progress) and the % of complete (as of April 10, 2024) to be 34%.
Futhermore, @emaralive created additional views within the project for documentation (although, this appeared to have gone unnoticed):
Although, not explicitly stated, the additional project views could help with the gathering of data in support of the statistics, for example:
| Open | Closed | % Complete | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Migrate | 39 | 19 | 33% |
| Add | 6 | 4 | 40% |
| Update | 2 | 1 | 33% |
| Total | 47 | 24 | 34% |
Or:
| Todo | In Progress | Done | % Complete | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Migrate | 39 | 0 | 19 | 33% |
| Add | 6 | 0 | 4 | 40% |
| Update | 2 | 0 | 1 | 33% |
| Total | 47 | 0 | 24 | 34% |
However, presentation of documentation statistics is still open to discussion, since this topic has not been settled.
A comment was posted regarding BP Docs-Chat Summary March 28, 2024 and the poster’s concern for the deprecation of the BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG constant and whether this would affect a plugin the poster was using.. @im4th volunteered to make a reply to the comment and completed the action.
@vapvarun reported his efforts in support of documentation for this area of interest (Multiblog/Multi Network/Multisite):
Additionally, @im4th & @vapvarun conversed a bit about the logistics of embedding/including videos within GH (GitHub) documents.
@im4th revealed the completion of a:
Whereby documents such as the following can reside:
@emaralive suggested and volunteered to update the main README.md for the bp-documentation repo, since Phase 1 has been completed, which makes the content outdated, along with the removal of 2 issue templates (ignore & migrate) that are no longer relevant. This task has yet to be started and @im4th volunteered to review the changes, once a PR has be generated.
It will happen on April 24, 2024 at 19:00 UTC in #BuddyPress.
