Welcome to the New BuddyDev Website
At BuddyDev, we believe in continuous self improvement. It has been around two and half years since we launched BuddyDev and what an awesome journey it has been. Thank you all for your continuous support and helping us to improve continuously .
While launching the new website, I will take this opportunity to thank my new team members Pardeep Singh(our very own rockstar designer) and Kamal(the one who contributed day and night on the html/css and helped me to test most of the things).
In the redesign, we focused on two things:-
- Usability of the site interface
- Readability of the content
The BuddyDev forum(it has moved from old url https://buddydev.com/forums/ to https://buddydev.com/support/forums/) is built on the sub blog support. It was a pleasant surprise to find the upgrading from bbpress 1.x to 2.1 so easy(Special thanks to John James Jacoby for bbpress 2.1 and @Shawn for forum importer plugin(which is part of bbpress 2.1 now)).
We are still in the process of uploading the plugins/themes to the website(we changed our download manager plugin and created a new one for better version management).
In the next iteration(hopefully in a fortnight), we will give another shot on readability again.
And before leaving, I will like to tender my sincere apologies to all our members/visitors whom I could not reply earlier. Life has been a little bit hectic this year. I have promised my self to be more active and invest more time on BuddyDev. Hoping to reply you all by tomorrow.
Please do let us know your feedback about the new site in the comments below or using the left feedback link and help us make BuddyDev better for all of us.
PS: We will update(have already updated many) all of our plugins/themes for BuddyPress 1.6.x by this weekend. Also, we will be releasing BP relationship, private message attachment, blog avatar a n a couple more plugins by the weekend. There are 4-5 BuddyPress themes in pipeline, which we hope to complete by 15th september.
Nice! Congratz!
Thank you Bill 🙂
Great job, guys! I like the theme. Great choice of font and font size. It's well organized. And way to go with using BuddyPress!
Now, go take your well-deserved nap. 😉

sweet thing Brajesh, got it my friend! Thanks for this quick response
Why spend for a developer membership when your plugins are under gpl licence?
Hi Mark,
There is no restriction on use as the plugins/themes are licensed under GPL license. We only request for developer license(It's not mandatory) to help us help you better. As a developer, we assume you will be using it on multiple sites, and your support requirements will be much more than a normal site administrator. the little extra cost helps us to devote more time(Though, it is upto our member to select the option and very soon, we will be updating our pricing page to reflect the same sentiments).
Developer Membership
You get all the benefits above mentioned + you can use our themes/plugins for all of your clients. So, if your client wants a gallery, you don’t have to purchase the license again. Just use the gallery. This feature is not allowed by our standard license.
why?
Hi Mark,
In fact those details are from 2009 when I started this website. It is a fault on my part to keep it still there. We need to update that page and reflect correctly that there is no difference between developer/standard license any more.
I don't want to go into the details of licensing, but earlier, we assumed the php code to be GPL but not the static assets. We don't want to keep it that complex and that's why we are changing the terms to reflect it correctly.
Brajesh congratulations on the redesign and hello to Pardeep and Kamal. Looking forward to the updates 🙂
Hi Mercime,
Thank you 🙂
ah ok. 🙂
thanks
Very nice work. I like the new look.
Hi Mrjarbenne,
Thank you for the appreciation. I am glad you liked it 🙂
hello brajesh,
I hate to write this question here, But i got his error with bp-gallery:
“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-gallery/bp-gallery.php on line 304″. It's quite an emergency that's why i have to get your attention.
Hi,
Just replied to your topic in the forum yesterday. Hope you got that. Please upgrade to the most current version of gallery for the fix.
I also am a big fan of the new look. Fast as well.
Thank you Sinama 🙂
Hi Brajesh,
Stunning redesign ! Congrats on that and the updates.
Am really Interested in BP Auto Activate Auto Login but is it compatible with Bad Behavior 2.2.9 ?
thanks,
Val
Thank you Valentine 🙂
I just tested the current version of auto activate auto login with bad behaviour 2.2.10 and it is allowing me to signup/activate automatically.
I could not simulate the behavior with a banned account/ip as I don't have access to one such account.
Very Nice Website first time looked today…I hope you are not offended..but I did notice in your opening line> It has been around two and half years since we lunched BuddyDev" …I presume you meant launched not lunched…although did make me think of food & time to eat..again…I'll be back…Foodfriendfinder
