Description

According to ​WP statistics the 5.5 and 5.6 versions are under 5% of WordPress installs, that's why I suggest to bump WP required version to 5.7 in BuddyPress 11.0.0.

Hi there,

I agree to bump the core version.

  • I can confirm it doesn't break anything.
  • We don't use any deprecated functions.

8709.patch looks good to me but I believe there are two missing parts:

  1. disallowed keys backward compatibility for before 5.5, I think we don't need it anymore
  2. dropping support of deprecated version of PHPMailer

In 13297:

Raise WordPress required version to 5.7

BuddyPress 11.0.0 will require at least WordPress 5.7. The BP Development team took this decision according to our ​guideline about WordPress version compatibility.
