WordPress Update 5.4 Changed function wp_get_user_request_data()

[Dono12]

The recent WordPress 5.4 update changed

wp_get_user_request_data()

to

wp_get_user_request().

Because this change is not yet updated in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-settings/bp-settings-functions.php on line 251.

wp_get_user_request_data( $query->post->ID );

The BuddyPress Export Data Page is broken when clicking the Export Data Button.

Thanks for letting us know, Dono12.

That's annoying. WordPress didn't even deprecate the previous function? See ​#WP46302.

Since we need to support versions of WordPress less than 5.4, we'll need to do a function_exists() check. See attached patch. Devs, let me know if you'd prefer the function_exists() check to span multiple lines instead of a one-liner.

I'm guessing there won't be a 5.2.0 release, so I'm moving this to 6.0 in the meantime.

I commented on the original WordPress issue. I suspect that function was deprecated into the incorrect location.

IMO, it should be fixed upstream in 5.4.1, in addition to the one here.

Thanks @r-a-y & @Dono12 for seeing and patching this right away. 👍

I was going to open a new ticket upstream about this, but I'll wait to see what the devs say before sending a patch.
