Legacy Widgets in BuddyPress 10.0.0

BuddyPress 9.0.0 main focus was to build a new BP Block Widget for each existing BP Legacy Widget. Starting in 10.0.0, BuddyPress is no more loading Legacy Widgets by default. It only keeps on loading them if:

• Your WordPress version is < 5.8.
• Your active theme doesn’t support Block Wigdets.
• You activated the Classic Widgets plugin.
• You decided to opt-out the new Block Widget Editor using the use_widgets_block_editor filter.

If your WordPress version is >= 5.8 and your active theme supports Block Widgets and you haven’t opted-out the Block Widget Editor using the Classic Widgets plugin or the filter but still want BuddyPress to load its Legacy Widget, you can do so using this filter:

// This filter makes sure BP Legacy Widgets will be loaded.
add_filter( 'bp_core_retain_legacy_widgets', '__return_true' );
