What can I use BuddyPress for?

Some fantastic uses might be:

  • A campus wide social network for your university, school or college.
  • An internal communication tool for your company.
  • A niche social network for your interest topic.
  • A focused social network for your new product.

BuddyPress is not “all or nothing”

When you disable features, your site’s theme will auto adjust, showing only the menu items, pages and buttons for the features you have enabled.
