Reply To: Will BuddyPress work for me?
Can Buddypress accomplish this? If so, would it be a complicated and labour intensive process to implement?
WordPress and BuddyPress should be able to handle this. The 2 levels of members you speak of could be either BuddyPress member types, or WordPress roles.
However, there is one tricky part. People need to be able to search for each event type, and also whether the event is hosted by either a “Facilitator,” or a “Host.”
This part is easy to solve. You would save either “facilitator” or “host” against the event’s meta when the event is created or updated. Then when you build your custom search, you can use the pre_get_posts hook to output matched posts, using both the search and meta query parameters in WP_Query.
