  • PeepSo: A premium alternative to BuddyPress, focusing on community building and social engagement.
  • MatchMe: A dating-focused plugin that enhances profile searching and matching.

Steps to Integrate BuddyPress:

Combine BuddyPress with MemberPress Rules to restrict messaging to premium members.

Configure profile fields (e.g., age, location, interests).

Set up private messaging between users.
