I am helping someone set up a website http://www.dstress.za.net and was looking for a plugin where clients can register so he can use social networking and other tools to promote his business. I am using s2Member and Weaver II ato set up his site.

I been playing around with BuddyPress and it looks interesting but I finding help and getting started very confusing and taking a lot of time. Can someone direct me how to get started with buddypress and also if it can do what I want. Can I use Weaver II otherwise which theme would you recommend to get started. Thanks

@ant01 BP Codex is your friend

I suggest that you use BP Default theme while you’re setting up BuddyPress and test driving to see if everything is working as expected. If all’s well, then you focus on the theme:
– create a child theme of BP Default theme OR
– choose a WP theme and install BP Template pack plugin and go through BP compatibility process. We have a list of “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes OR
– choose a free or paid ready-made BP child theme OR
– choose a free or paid BP-ready/compatible WordPress theme
