Building a site with BuddyPress and the Divi Theme is definitely doable, but there are some compatibility considerations to keep in mind. The Divi Theme Builder is highly versatile, but its compatibility with BuddyPress depends on how BuddyPress structures its pages.
Key Points:
Post Type Compatibility: As the Elegant Themes team mentioned, if BuddyPress uses the default WordPress post type for its pages, you should be able to edit them using the Divi Builder without any issues. BuddyPress typically generates pages using custom post types for specific content like user profiles, activity feeds, etc.
Custom Templates: You might need to create custom templates for BuddyPress pages. Divi allows for a lot of customization, so you can design layouts that suit your needs. However, the integration may require some manual tweaking to ensure everything displays correctly.
Third-Party Plugins: There are third-party plugins that help bridge the gap between BuddyPress and Divi, making it easier to customize BuddyPress pages with the Divi Builder. You might want to explore these if you encounter limitations.
Testing: It would be a good idea to set up a test environment where you can experiment with how BuddyPress and Divi work together, especially when it comes to customizing profile pages and other BuddyPress-specific content.
If anyone in the community has experience with this setup, it would be great to hear your thoughts and any challenges you encountered!
