BuddyPress Plugins

BuddyPress Plugins

WordPress MU, I had some time ago already been presented (WordPress MU entry and applications). For WordPress MU, there are an extension named Buddy Press. This is actually a collection of plugins and other extensions, which are entered WordPress MU.

With Buddy, they can press an existing WordPress MU installation easy in a social network transformation.

For a long time is already a beta 1 for Buddy Press published. What Buddy Press in precise, as it builds up and what you can use it, I would describe in this paper.

To Buddy Press to use, you need an existing WordPress MU installation, which is almost as quick and easy runs like a normal version of WordPress. The only difference: With an installation, you can create multiple blogs. When Buddy Press is basically just a collection of plugins for WordPress, which will provide features, which you have a social network can create. Some features include Extended Profiles, which the user information about themselves in order to provide, so as for the well-known social networks. Moreover, everyone has the opportunity to create your own blog, and every member to send private messages.

As with any social network you can be friends or other groups to form or in such a way. It is also possible that each user has a guestbook, where others what to write or you can also upload photos is not a problem.

The use of BuddyPress, I have already mentioned several times, but mainly it as a social network thought to be.

With Buddy Press Automattic still has a “good horse in the stable”, because although it was some social networks in USA and in the world, these markets are still not very developed. It would provide, for example, a social network to a specific topic. Currently there are more general age-based networks or social networks. It would be offering a social network on car them. Therefore, I BuddyMarks Press good future chances.
