BuddyPress.org

Do you need to have a forum to be able to post on the wire ?

No, but you have to activate the wire in the wp-admin->buddypress->component settings.

To post a Wire, you have to go to on the profile page of the person or the group you want to send a message.

Click on Wire in the middle menu.

An input box appears at the right where you can type in your message.

Send.

That’s all !
