    Hi,
    I have an e-learning platform for sailing. https://sailplus.academy
    So far I have 130 registered users. They register at WordPress.
    Is it possible to switch to buddypress? If so, what will happen to those users? Are they imported? Do they need to re-register?

    Hi Akstar,

    Existing users will become BuddyPress users, however their BP profile information will be blank, ideally you’d add some code to force them to complete any extra items you have added such as https://github.com/buddydev/bp-profile-completion.

    That’s pretty much the only difference.

    Another feature you may want to think about is if you want the BuddyPress pages to be public or only available to logged in users. For that you would need a plugin, such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-private-buddypress/

    Other than that it would be case of enabling the BP features you want for your site.
