In conjunction with WPMU DEV we’ve released this site.  Just check out the BuddyPress themes we offer right here.

Beyond a simple demo

We have made sure that Themetastic has great content to show off the themes and shows you exactly how using our theme options you can create your own site.  We encourage you to have a wander around the sites and see each section.

Beyond theme switchers

We took the advanced theme switcher plugin and created the drop down bar you will see allowing you to easily switch between themes.  We hope you enjoy this easy to use feature.

Just check out our themes right here on Themetastic.

As with all our BuddyPress themes we think about how BuddyPress effects the design.  Take a look at the activity stream:

There really has never been a better time to be a member than this week see here how insanely cheap being a member of BuddyDress is.

There is a release post over at the BuddyPress blog too here.  The post by John James Jacoby gives credit to all those involved in the bug fix which this release is and also points out that there are some new notes for plugin developers in this post about the new actions.

BuddyPress 1.2.5 fixes the total of 49 reported issues you can check them all out here.

For a full list of the important release history you can click here.

We will be updating our themes this week to make sure they are also on track.

As we said in our announcement post we want BuddyDress to be as much about our members as what we think you want.  We’re always interested in hearing what you’d like from BuddyDress including what themes you want available now and for future development.  Just drop us a line to give us your opinions and ideas.
