BuddyBoss and PeepSo are plugins that provide various membership functions to WordPress. They offer so many functions that they even have their own dedicated themes.
But it will also work with any other theme you like.
BuddyBoss is a spinoff of BuddyPress, so it's basically BuddyPress.
It's difficult to find a theme that matches perfectly with BuddyPress, but that doesn't mean you can't use a normal theme. Since the way it's displayed is theme-specific, if it doesn't work as is, you can use it by adjusting the CSS, etc.
I used PeepSo with a different theme before, so it's not a problem. However, there are themes that match and themes that are difficult to match. Probably neither will match TCD themes. TCD themes usually do not match with other plugins. They are not compatible with WooCommerce. It is better to accept that you will only use TCD themes.
Why is there a fee?
There's no theme that fits
If you are thinking that, then the answer is no, so please try using your favorite theme.
However, the themes provided are perfect for this purpose, and are perfect for BuddyBoss and PeepSo. They are so luxurious, convenient, and multifunctional that it would be a waste to use them only for BuddyBoss and PeepSo, so the conclusion is that it is best to use them for customization. If you can master this theme, you won't need any other themes.
They all look the same because we feel that normal use is sufficient, and you can freely change the colors, fonts, design, etc. using the customizer.
For those who can't use or don't want to use the dedicated theme
This theme can be used without any excess or shortage.
BuddyBoss and PeepSo are great, and the demo sites are great, but they are still just WordPress membership plugins. You can use only the features you want, when you want.
BuddyBoss and PeepSo look like Facebook, so they are often mistaken for special sites, but they are just additional membership features. There is nothing that is lost, such as blog features or static page features. You can do anything, even blogs and corporate sites.
The idea is to add a powerful member community function to it, and develop it into a more advanced web service than just a promotional homepage.
Your site may not have a membership feature, but the sites you regularly visit and use probably do. You probably have an account with Google or Yahoo.
We may be in an age where sites without membership features are no longer worth using.
