Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BuddyPress

Yes! BuddyPress works out-of-the-box with nearly every WordPress theme.

Yes! If your WordPress installation has multisite enabled, BuddyPress will support the global tracking of blogs, posts, comments, and even custom post types with a little bit of custom code. Furthermore, BuddyPress can be activated and operate in just about any scope you need for it to: Activate at the site level to only load BuddyPress on that site. Activate at the network level for full integration with all sites in your network. (This is the most common multisite installation type.) Enable multiblog mode to allow your BuddyPress content to be displayed on any site in your WordPress Multisite network, using the same central data. Extend BuddyPress with a third-party multi-network plugin to allow each site or network to have an isolated and dedicated community, all from the same WordPress installation. Read custom BuddyPress activations for more information.
