Need to create a Corporate Community on an existing WordPress website

[hassansarwar]

Hello,

I have been a wordpress user for a very long time and I also do themes and stuff every now and then. This time around I have a client who wants me to create a corporate community on his existing website with the following functions:

User Profiles, User can follow each other, User can make guest posts (which will be approved by the administrator), Users can share links/videos, FAQ, Webinars etc.

Since this is new for me – I would like to have some suggestions on which plugin(s) should I use and how should I start? Would I be able to do this on wordpress or should I go with a third party tool and integrate it with wordpress manually. Also, If it helps; I am using the theme Jupiter by Artbees on the website currently.

I also have no experience with MultiSite so anyone who can guide me a bit about it would be great.

Looking forward to productive replies from fellow wordpress lovers and being a part of the family 🙂

Thanks,
H.

For user profiles you can use BuddyPress plugin which pretty much turns your WordPress site to a social networking website, also bbPress if you’re in need of a forum.

WordPress already allows contributors to write articles on your site, which need to be reviewed by an admin before getting published.

Hope it helps. 🙂
