Core

It‘s what makes BuddyPress possible!

Members

Everything in a BuddyPress community revolves around its members.

Activity

Global, personal, and group activity streams with threaded commenting, direct posting, favoriting, and @mentions, all with full RSS feed and email notification support.

Groups

Groups allow your users to organize themselves into specific public, private or hidden sections with separate activity streams and member listings.

Extended Profiles

Customize your community with fully editable profile fields that allow your users to describe themselves.

Friends

Let your users make connections so they can track the activity of others and focus on the people they care about the most.

Private Messaging

Allow your users to talk to each other directly and in private. Not just limited to one-on-one discussions, messages can be sent between any number of members.

Notifications

Notify members of relevant activity with a toolbar bubble and/or via email, and allow them to customize their notification settings.

Account Settings

Allow your users to modify their account and notification settings directly from within their profiles.

Site Tracking

Record activity for new sites, posts, and comments across your network.

Legacy Docs

If you need to travel in the past of BuddyPresss, this is the right section to look at.
