On October 5, BuddyPress 1.1.1 was released to offer WordPress MU users the benefits of social networking, launching WordPress into a new era. The new version is a social networking layer that can be added to any existing installation of WordPress MU making WordPress sites social. Here are some of the benefits of the new BuddyPress.
With the help of this new version of BuddyPress, WordPress administrators can create specific profile questions for members to fill in. This allows other users and followers to view information about the members. Extended profile capabilities for members gives each member a unique and individual profile that is attached to each blog or post.
Private messaging capabilities in BuddyPress allow members to message privately providing privacy for each member. Just like major social networking sites, BuddyPress allows for the “friend” building option. Additionally, groups can be created based on specific topics to create a following. The forum option lets members post questions and receive feedback from other members. Other updates and capabilities are also part of this new version of BuddyPress.
The newly released version of BuddyPress has a variety of updates that are revolutionizing WordPress MU sites and turning them social. If you already have a WordPress MU site and want to add BuddyPress, contact one of our experts at OneIMS to get started today.
