Fantastic community software superior to BuddyPress
-
I have been using Peepso together with many of its premium addons for quite a while now and wanted to report my experience. The community I am using it on is at:
[ link redacted ]
and is called My Disability Matters. I did start out using BuddyPress but got frustrated with plugin and theme conflicts and bugs and there was no one person or company you can turn to for assistance. Often different plugin and theme developers blame each other – this happened to me – and in the meantime parts of your community are broken. Also many BP plugins have not been maintained for a very long time.
One key component missing from BP is any form of moderation or reporting of inappropriate conduct despite numerous requests. Peepso has built in reporting.
We have found Peepso to be more scalable than BuddyPress and have fewer bugs or conflicts. Part of the reason for this is that Peepso has a free core component with many premium addons available. All these addons (with a few exceptions) are maintained by Peepso guaranteeing their ongoing development and compatibility. Peepso also uses the Divi theme themselves meaning you know it will keep working well rather than having to use a BP specific theme.
I have found Peepso’s support and development team to be fast and friendly and solve any problems that have arisen. As WordPress updates roll out they sometimes break things – I recall one WP patch that broke some features and Matt had a fix out within an hour or two.
We are investing a lot of time and money into our community and are proud and pleased to be using Peepso for our community and having them alongside us.
Also our community needs accessibility features because of many of our members being disabled and Peepso is continually improving that.
Peepso brings out updates on a rolling cycle of roughly every 3 weeks and operates a very active community on their own site, using their own software. You get to see new features being tested on their own community before they are released for everyone. The thorough testing and superb project management by Eric is part of what sets Peepso apart.
I appreciate not everyone wants to pay for the premium addons but when you are building a business around your community I highly recommend trusting Peepso.
Now I just want to point out that I realise Peepso is not perfect and is constantly improving by adding new features and fixing any bugs. It will also be fully PHP7.2 compatible next release which is important for speed and security.
Any plugin/software can appear to be good but the true test is whether it is maintained, improved and comes with good support – Peepso offers all of this.
Highly recommended.
Dale.
