Back in Apr of final year, Matt posted here on a dev blog about a recover of BuddyPress 1.0, a plugin which adds a amicable networking covering to an designation of WordPress MU. Many people were vehement about a idea, yet were incompetent to examination with BuddyPress since they ran singular installations of WordPress rsther than than a multi-site WordPress MU. To those people, great news! A small over a week ago Andy Peatling, owner as well as lead developer of BuddyPress, announced a recover of BuddyPress 1.2, which can be used on singular installations of WordPress. Congratulations, BuddyPress! And congratulations to all a people who’ve been watchful with bated exhale for this to happen.
The initial thing we suspicion when we listened a headlines was, “Awesome! Now everybody can put BuddyPress on their site if they wish it.” The second suspicion we had was, “Shoot! Average WordPress users won’t wish to try BuddyPress if they have to switch their site themes over to a BuddyPress default thesis only to try it out.” The third suspicion we had was, “That can’t be right. I’ll ask Andy.”
As it incited out, we could keep your stream thesis with BuddyPress if we combined a integrate of files as well as done a couple of record edits. There was even a couple on a BuddyPress site to download a required files. That still seemed a small clunky, though, so Andy, super overwhelming man which he is, went forward as well as done a plugin to get we started. The BuddyPress Template Pack can be commissioned without delay from your WordPress admin (Plugins > Add New), as well as will travel we by a thesis additions step by step.*
Now we can make use of BuddyPress with your singular site designation of WordPress, as well as we can keep your existent theme. Seriously, could BuddyPress have done it any simpler for we to supplement amicable networking to your site? we know we can’t wait for to try it out this weekend, how about you?
* Don’t dont think about to implement BuddyPress itself, or a template pack plugin won’t do anything!
