eMember VS BuddyPress

[Garland Coulson]

I have purchased and use eMember on my web site and I really like how it works.

I have a client who wanted to set up a full blown social network. I decided to do the site in BuddyPress since it is the leading WordPress plugin for social networks.

I was totally underwhelmed by BuddyPress. It seems awkward to do things and I have spent hours troubleshooting the installation.

I am starting to wonder if I couldn’t use eMember instead? I was looking at what BuddyPress does that eMember doesn’t. The main thing seems to be multisite blogging, friend connections and activity streams.

Can this be done with eMember?

Thanks,

Garland

Hi Garland, I wouldn’t recommend using eMember for a social networking type site mainly because it wasn’t the intended use for it. So it will lack a lot of functionality that you probably need for a social networking site unfortunately.
