BuddyPress.org

I’m working with a client who is an author. She is starting a website as a way to market her book.

She wants to add a way for her audience to interact with each other. Buddypress seems like the way to go, but I haven’t used it before.

To keep the different plugins and Buddypress functions from conflicting, I’m thinking it might be a good idea to install Buddypress on a different subdomain, separate from her main site, with links between. I can make the design match between the two sites and link between them without installing all the same plugins on both sites.

Any feedback on that idea? Do you see me heading for trouble that I don’t know about?
