BuddyPress “Big Wins”
• OPEN SOURCE
• WORKS WITH ALMOST ANY WORDPRESS THEME
• CONTROL YOUR OWN DATA (NSA PERMITTING)
• CUSTOMIZATION - YOU ARE IN CONTROL
• Great for internal sites, proof of concepts
![Page 31: WPSessions - Thinking Outside The Box With BuddyPress](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/589d7cea1a28ab69538b6111/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Is Like Saying...
SAYING BUDDYPRESS JUST “ADDS SOCIAL TO A SITE”
WORDPRESS IS JUST “BLOG SOFTWARE”
