BuddyPress 1.7 is coming soon and will work on any WordPress theme. If you are not in a hurry you might want to choose a responsive WordPress theme
@modemlooper Thank you for your response.
Any idea about when BP 1.7 is coming?
Actually I am in a hurry and want to have the site(s) online within a week or so.
The sites don’t have to be fancy but need to be launched soon. I thought of choosing social theme because I am afraid of making lots of changes again if I choose a different theme later.
“BuddyPress 1.7 is coming soon and will work on any WordPress theme. If you are not in a hurry you might want to choose a responsive WordPress theme”
Are you saying that all the regular wordpress themes will work fine with buddypress/multisite/multi-network environment when BP 1.7 comes?
Are there any BP responsive themes that I can choose from at this moment?
Please advise. Thank you.
You can use a responsive WordPress theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. We have a list of “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes. This is the route you should take if you’re planning to launch your site this month or early next month. There’s still BP 1.6.2 coming out sometime December https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap and no set schedule as to when BP 1.7 is coming out yet.
