BuddyPress Social Networking

March 9, 2010

This weeks guest was Andy Peatling of the BuddyPress.org Project. BuddyPress is a social networking plugin for WordPress which ads many of the features found on sites like Facebook to WordPress blogs in as few as 10 minutes. We discussed how BuddyPress came about, some of the ways its used, some tips on getting started, customizing it and most importantly the features it provides. In news, there were a few nice plugin releases/updates and as always quick update on the WordCamp schedule.

    I just checked it and was happy to find out more about installing BuddyPress plugin not only WPMU installation. I’d like to try to run my own social network on my site with this pack. Thanks for the tips for getting started.

    Great interview that really clarifies and expands my understanding of BuddyPress. Excellent production!

    Now to start prototyping a long planned site (on my wamp server to start with) and then publish to the web in about one month’s time.

  3. I think to BuddyPress is the best for social network.
