What is the difference between your template for $199 and This template for $32? https://themegrill.com/blog/best-buddypress-themes-wordpress/
Hi there,
The link you’ve given me goes to a page with a list of the themes. Which one are you referring to?
I explain why the theme is priced at $199 at the very top of the page. This is not due to features, it is so I can dissuade new customers from buying it while keeping the theme active for previous customers so they can receive theme updates.
Pre Sales Question:
Team, I have been looking to develop an Online shopping eCommerce website where customers can buy products or memberships, please let me know if this products meets the requirement as I really like the design and UI of this product.
Thanks !
Hi there,
You’ll need to use one or more plugins to allow users to buy products and memberships.
The theme has been tested with the WooCommerce shopping plugin.
Hello
I had two pre-sale questions.
1. Does the theme have a robust forum options, such as register>ask questions>questions>or>answer>like a ques/answer?
2. Does the theme have anything like a point system or followers, like if someone comments/answers a ques. and his/her followers show up?
Regards Sahil
Hi there,
1) I’m not sure what you mean. The theme uses the bbPress forum plugin in the demo, this is a free plugin and not part of the theme. I suggest checking out this plugin on your current site to see if it has the features you need.
2) No it does not, you’ll need to use a plugin for this.
Thanks for replying.
Do you guys have a page-builder and if I can get the list of plugins come along with the theme.
Thanks
This theme does not come with a page builder, it uses shortcodes which can be inserted via the TinyMCE builder.
The theme only comes with the Buddy Plugin which contains core theme features.
This is a very simple theme for users not wanting to install a ton of plugins and use page builders. If you want a more advanced theme I recommend my Aardvark theme here: https://themeforest.net/item/aardvark-buddypress-membership-community-theme/21281062
Hello, I have been following this theme for a few months, I love Buddy, apply a small discount for the theme, I know that many people will buy it, including me. Ask for a 50% discount is too much, but at least they could make a 30% or 20% discount ?, only for the theme, not for plugins, greetings from Perú.
Hi there,
This theme is priced much higher than the average theme to reduce the number of new customers and cover the costs of continuing development for existing customers. As a result I am not offering discounts for this very reason.
1. Does the theme come with all the graphics and icons/avatars shown in the demo at: https://buddy.ghostpool.com/ ? 2. Can the icons and avatars be easily changed to custom set of avatars and icons? 3. Is the blog page a single blog page for the wordpress theme, or can all members post to the blog?
I also have a couple of other questions: 4. Can the bbpress theme or layout be replaced by another bbpress theme within the buddy theme? 5. What type of modifications can be done to the bbpress forum interface? Is it only css styling? Thank you.
Hi there,
1) These are just demo images. You can import the demo but the images are replaced with blank grey images.
2) What icons are you referring to? The avatars are set by each user from their BuddyPress profile page.
3) This displays any posts created on your site. By default users do not have the ability to create posts, so it will only show admin/editor posts.
4) To do this you would need to run two themes at the same time. So it’s possible, but I’ve never tested this.
5) This will depend on your coding knowledge. You can completely change the interface with a combination PHP and CSS, but you’re better off asking bbPress support as this is a third party plugin and not part of the theme.
omg are you jocking? 199 dolar? please discount from 20 dolar 
ı want to take this theme
ı already took aardvark but aardvark too slow this theme better
Hi there,
If you’re finding Aardvark too slow I can help look into the reasons for this if you open a support ticket at https://ghostpool.ticksy.com
The reasons Buddy is priced at £199 are explained on the item page.
Pre-Purchase Question. Any info on compatibility with Total Theme? TY
Hi there,
I’m not familiar with Total Theme – is this another WordPress theme as opposed to a plugin? If it’s a theme then you can’t use it with Buddy which is also a theme. You can’t use two themes at the same time,
i have a community leadership project to develop where Leaders (example political) will connect and engage with their followers or electorates.. These followers will pass comments, survey,review, do polls and interact with their leaders so that an insight reports and intelligence will be generated for the Leader to know whether his followers appreciate his performance or not.
So lets say in a country we have electoral demarcations or constituencies where a number of political parties have representatives to campaign and showcase their leadership ideas, projects, principles, qualities etc to the electorates as potential member of parliament to be voted for.
My pre-purchase enquiries is how to align or configure my project in the Buddy theme . Assuming am going to configure or represent the Groups as constituencies (adding new groups as constituencies), what features am i going to use to represent the competing political parties and their representative aspiring MPs in the various constituencies?
Can you explain whether Member is a user type or not and how to add new members.Please explain the entire user types and creation etc.
I also want to know whether there is a feature to create or generate community insights.
Hope to receive your feedback as soon as possible to enable me take decision.
Regards. John.
Hi there,
1) I’m not sure how to answer that. The theme uses the BuddyPress plugin to generate groups, members, activity etc. I would suggest using BuddyPress on your current theme (it’s free) and testing out all the features to see if you can use it in the way you want.
2) Members are just WordPress users which can register form the BuddyPress registration page. Again you can test this yourself using BuddyPress on your own installation.
3) What do you mean by community insights? It doesn’t sound like a feature the theme or BuddyPress has.
1.Any supported \ recommended plugin for paid membership signups? (tested to play nice with Buddy)
2. How do I go about testing the theme? There is very little information regarding supported plugin, option screens, level of control , and on the other end, the refund policy is vague.
Where can I find more resources, or demo site I can test couple things? ( i had problem with other theme and typing in RTL languages [no UI] but posts and messages)
Thank you
Hi there,
1) I have not tested any Paid Membership plugin with the theme unfortunately. You may be interested in my Aardvark theme which has Paid Membership Pro plugin support.
2) You cannot test the theme before purchase as is the case with nearly all themes here. You can find my refund policy here: https://ghostpool.com/documentation/aardvark/support/refunds/ Generally themes don’t include a list of support plugins unless they’re shown in the demo. Buddy should be compatible with most major plugins.
3) This theme does not come with RTL support. If you’re wanting to test the theme before purchase again this is not possible.
This is a very good theme, simple and beautiful. My question is that, i do not have the buddypress or bbpress activated, how do i show the users online on the sidebar and the members count?
Hi there,
These are part of the BuddyPress, you will need to use this plugin if you want these features. This is why this is a BuddyPress theme.

Oh no worries, still the best theme out there :))
It looks like a great theme. If there any way I can adapt this to create a multiuser gallery, so every user can upload them photos to a shared album? Also, as I user, did I receive notifications? Thanks for your answer.
Hi there,
1) The theme does not have this functionality, you’ll need to find a plugin that does that e.g. https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/ Check out this plugin, which is free, with any theme to see if it has the features you need.
2) Notifications of what?
hi dear ı want buy this theme but its so expensive for me because of dolar about our country. ı want to learn if its possible to make discount to me for buying and ı want to see admin panel if its possible too for demo . thanks a lot from now
Hi there,
The theme is deliberately priced high, as explained at the top of the item page. I include the reason below also:
“This theme is priced much higher than the average theme so it can cover the costs of continuing development. Unfortunately Envato does not offer the ability to charge for updates or for a subscription to the theme, which would be better ways of charging customers for continued development. If you feel this price is too high for you I suggest looking for another theme such as my best seller Aardvark for only $55.”
Hi there,
Pre-sale question: is there an option to limit posts to only external media? In other words: no text, no uploaded media, giving users option to only post external media like youtube videos, articles, etc? Also, on what basis does feed organize itself? Is there an installed algorhythm?
Thanks
Hi there,
There is no option for just external content.
What feed are you referring to? The Latest Activity feed? This activity feed is generated by the BuddyPress plugin, by default the feed is ordered by most recent activity.How do I remove the word “Buddy” from the top chat box? Or, do I need to upload my own logo image to cover it? I like the chat symbol. Can I use it? That was one of the appeals of the theme.
Hi there,
It sounds like you need theme support. Just so you know the ThemeForest comments area is a dedicated place for people who have not yet purchased the theme and want to ask pre-purchase questions.

Hey, is the Theme compatible with the Youzer-Plugin?
Hi there,
This theme has not been tested with the Youzer Plugin, I would instead recommend my Aardvark theme which is fully Youzer compatible: https://themeforest.net/item/aardvark-buddypress-membership-community-theme/21281062
Hi there,
If you purchase the Buddy theme first and then open a refund request for this for the Aardvark theme I’ll issue you refund: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new
thank u ı have a question, who check it? you or themeforest? ı want to this theme ı think better then aardvark issue: speed
I got 2 lic of it .. and its one of the BEST theme i got … and my sites get load faster then any available theme
Now my concern is future of it .. as there are not major updates, no addons, not feature additions … so its possible that this theme will get obsolete in the coming few months
admin … do charge for its annual updates or make new similar theme with more advance version of it … so that ur lovers will be able to use it continuously
thx
Hi there,
Envato does not allow us to charge for updates unfortunately. I wish it did as it would incentivize authors to update older themes.
Buddy is still being actively updated, but it’s unlikely to include any new features. Future updates will only be bug fixes and stability improvements.
I can understand .thats why saying makr new template and launch version 2 of it . Ill pay $50 to $100 for it easily
Hello, I am interested in buying this template, I would like to know if I could categorize people when they register, as common users or administrators. Also if I can restrict messages between users. I want when a common user sends me a message, only I can read it. What I want is to connect people, but first I must authorize the sending of those messages. My main objective is to collect a link from each user, review that information and then send it to another person. There would have to be different panels for users and administrators. Is that possible with your template?
Hi there,
This is not something the theme handles, these features relate to the BuddyPress plugin. The plugin already allows private messages between users. BuddyPress also allows different member types upon registration using an extension such as https://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddypress-member-types/
Hi, thanks for your response. Can I send you an email to know if your template would be useful for my project? It’s something private, I’d like to send you an email to explain what I have in mind. Could you send me your email address?
Please email me at https://themeforest.net/user/ghostpool#contact with your WordPress URL and admin login details and I’ll take a closer look.
