BuddyPress seems to be a plugin that helps with setting up a social network on top of WordPress. BP itself supports additional plugins to add up the functionality. In order to add new features to your site, you should create a custom plugin for your site that will have those specific features and you know its your code, you are going to update it yourself when necessary. Modifying 3rd party plugins or theme code is not a good idea. Clearly, when the update is available, your edits will be lost. In themes, you can set up a child theme with functions.php file and add up your own functions so even if you update the parent theme later, your child theme will not be affected. Btw, WordPress is not really a toothpick to setup a house on. However you need strong server and better resources to create a robust social network. Any technology you use, you need strong servers, load balancing, sql replication and many resources. read less

Hi, I am new to Wordpress and want to create a website for a doctor, similar to Lifeforce. What theme would work best for this kind of content? Each theme description is very similar "responsive website, create custom layouts" etc. How do I figure out which theme to select for my requirement? Has anyone used this theme Elegantthemes. It's a paid one in which it is easy to edit, similar to working in Photoshop. Are there any free themes which have this feature?
Hi, Free themes are having limited options. Always go with premium themes like eleganthemes. But I prefer "Total Theme" it has full customized options. You can customize layout, page, header and footer etc.
