BuddyPress

What do you like best?

BP is dead easy to set up. Default pages are created automatically and mapped to their proper functions. also, I liked the option of being able to customize and create a social media website similar to Facebook, Twitter, etc. it's an open-source plugin for WordPress which is free to cost. Even you can customize it if you've some programming knowledge. The thing, I love about BuddyPress is its huge community support. I needed a backend for my website and I thought this was going to be a great option. It wasn't.

The team there is very nice and responsive, but it wasn't fit for my company. We ended up going with a project management back end. With BuddyPress, you get to make your website social and interactive. I wanted to create a website where people could talk and interact but I was not sure i could handle a forum.

What do you dislike?

No built-in media uploading. Activity updates are similarly crippled. There's no text editor so users can't even add inline hypertext links. Finally, after posting the problem to different online forums, it was resolved. Compatibility issue is one thing BuddyPress user may battle with, especially on WordPress users.

The plugin may not work well with some themes and plugins. It doesn't provide you complete social media site feature, so you need other plugins or you need coding to create features as per your requirements. also add a new profile img.
