Hi,
All I want to ask is, are there any particular advantages/dis-advantages to installing Buddypress along side WPForo?
Just a general question I know, but never really used Buddypress before!
Kind regards,
Mark
Hi @markransome,
There are numerous reasons as to why you'd want to run buddypress on top of wpForo. It's not essential, as wpForo has all the necessary functionality you'd require for a forum, but if you are looking for a way to socially interact with other members in the form of walls, groups, direct messaging, friends, etc, then you'd need either buddypress or ultimate member. I personally use buddypress and the Youzer plugin to enhance it on my site. Take a look at https://inocul8r.net
It depends on your requirements. wpForo has almost all features for profile system. You can customize Login/Register pages, User Fields and data. Do you need something specific?
I'm not sure if I need anything specific, but this is the first time I have used WP Foro and I have never really used Buddypress, so it's just a matter of seeing what the options are really?

You may not use BuddyPress if you don't find the points I mentioned necessary.
