<p>This plugin allows the website administrator to remove the following from the WordPress Administration Panel:</p>
<ul>
<li>menu links (like “Tools”, “Appearance”, or annoying menus from third-party plugin)</li>
<li>submenu links (like “Users > Your Profile”, “Tools > Available Tools”, or annoying menus from third-party plugins)</li>
<li>and dashboard meta boxes (like “QuickPress”, “Other WordPress News”, or annoying meta boxes from third-party plugins)</li>
</ul>
<p>It relies on hardcoded settings in wp-config.php (instead of having yet another admin settings page to deal with). Since the settings are all hardcoded, it can be easily set up by a website administrator and left in place without any users messing with it. It works on both single and multisite installations.</p>

<p>Are you looking for modern, robust, and sophisticated social network software? BuddyPress is a suite of components that are common to a typical social network, and allows for great add-on features through WordPress’s extensive plugin system.</p>
<p>Aimed at site builders & developers, BuddyPress is focused on ease of integration, ease of use, and extensibility. It is deliberately powerful yet unbelievably simple social network software, built by contributors to WordPress.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="VideoPress Video Player" aria-label="VideoPress Video Player" width="750" height="422" src="https://video.wordpress.com/embed/wvvZgNwo?hd=1&cover=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allow="clipboard-write"></iframe><script src='https://v0.wordpress.com/js/next/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'></script></p>
<p>Members can register on your site to create user profiles, have private conversations, make social connections, create and interact in groups, and much more. Truly a social network in a box, BuddyPress helps you build a home for your company, school, sports team, or other niche community.</p>
<h4>Built with developers in mind</h4>
<p>BuddyPress helps site builders & developers add community features to their websites. It comes with a robust theme compatibility API that does its best to make every BuddyPress content page look and feel right with just about any WordPress theme. You will likely need to adjust some styling on your own to make everything look pristine.</p>
<p>BuddyPress themes are just WordPress themes with additional templates, and with a little work, you could easily create your own, too! A handful of BuddyPress-specific themes are readily available for download from WordPress.org, and lots more are available from third-party theme authors.</p>
<p>BuddyPress also comes with built-in support for Akismet and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/" rel="ugc">bbPress</a>, two very popular and very powerful WordPress plugins. If you’re using either, visit their settings pages and ensure everything is configured to your liking.</p>
<h4>The BuddyPress Add-ons</h4>
<p>WordPress.org is home to some amazing Add-ons for BuddyPress, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-attachments/" rel="ugc">BP Attachments</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-classic/" rel="ugc">BP Classic</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NB</strong>: BP Classic is a backwards compatibility Add-on for BuddyPress 12.0 and up bringing back the BP Legacy URL parser, the BP Default theme and BP Legacy widgets.</p>
<p>Go to <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/buddypress/" rel="nofollow ugc">BuddyPress profile on WordPress.org</a> to find them all!</p>

BuddyPress

It's a great addition to any website that focuses on community. Because it is entirely FSE compatible, you will be able to develop a community website using a theme that is based on FSE.

FSE compatible!

It already has many features, great dev team and it is highly extendable. 

The UI might not be great, but using a BP-supporting theme can change that. 

The way to go for niche social sites

Plugin is great, our theme supports it. But there is a bug with blank page for the registration page, user profile edit page etc. etc. if theme contains 'theme.json' file but no 'templates/index.html' file (not block theme)

It can be fixed by adding this code into your 'functions.php' file or in the 'after_theme_setup' hook:

remove_theme_support( 'block-templates' );



We have spend almost two days to manage this problem.

Blank registration page, profile page in classic themes with theme.json file

Get together safely, in your own way, in WordPress.
