can anyone please tell me is buddy press replacing bbPress? otherwise were wasting our time....
"BuddyPress will transform a vanilla installation of WordPress MU into a social network platform."
vanilla is another forum, so im guessing BuddyPress will have its own forum... right so what the hell is bbPress for lol...
anyone help here?
I think they're using the term "vanilla" to mean "plain." In other words, any standard installation of WordPress MU can be turned into a social network platform.
Vanilla, the forum software, doesn't have anything to do with it, as far as I know.
I've never used it but from what I can tell BuddyPress is more like LiveJournal than a forum based system where there are community blogs. It doesn't actually have forum code.
BuddyPress is a social networking addon for WPMU. It does not have a built-in forum, and it will not be replacing bbPress. Vanilla in this context just means plain.
alright i got it, thanks
i dont know why the use the term vanilla
Because vanilla is jargon for plain or standard.
bbPress will probably be used to augment BuddyPress' groups with forums. It's a complimentary product, not a replacement.
