bbPress – forum plugin
or
BuddyPress- social network plugin
that would help a lot in deciding to buy this theme
Hello Hassan Zla,
All of these plugins are tested with our theme and seems to work as properly with all of them. You should try to consult the plugin’s documentation in order to use the plugin on your side. For more information about these, please heck here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-bbpress-forum/ -> https://codex.buddypress.org/ -> https://codex.bbpress.org/
Thanks for your understanding!
i understand. i just wanted to see the theme outlook with budypress installed so i can have clear idea before buying the theme again. if you have any site please do share
Hello Hassan Zia,
If you want to see how the theme works with BuddyPress, you can access the following link here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_tech/groups/blogmagazine-themes/ Also, please notice that you can make a subdomain and install the plugin and test it on your side and see how it works.
Normally the Envato policy allows using a theme only on one install. You can, however, use the theme on a sub-domain if you plan on creating a testing site, but if we are talking about totally different sites with different content, then only one theme per install is legally allowed: http://screencast.com/t/NqzloVgyUJB.
Thanks for your understanding!
Thank you for the answers. My only question is
will i be able to show budypress posts /groups in homepage categories? like this:
if yes i will buy the theme for sure.
Hello Hassan Zia,
I guess that you want to edit the category page, right? If you want to do this, please notice that you will have to edit core files where the category template is made. For example, if you are using the category template 1, you will have to edit the td_category_template_1.php, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/oZsyrbFpQ There you should add the BuddyPress shortcode in order to bring best results. Please notice that is not a simple task and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
