BuddyX Pro Documentation

Welcome to BuddyX Pro 5.1.0 - the community-first WordPress theme from Wbcom Designs. Whether you are launching a social network, an online course, a job board, or a store, this theme gives you the presets, header layouts, dark mode, and one-click styling that make the whole thing look finished on day one. Everything you need to set it up, customize it, and connect the right plugin lives here.
New to the theme? Start at the top. Already set up and looking for one thing? Jump straight to the section you need below.
Start here
Section titled “Start here”Three short pages take you from a fresh install to a site that matches your goal:
- Install BuddyX Pro - upload the theme, activate your license, and turn on updates.
- Quick Start - a 15-minute baseline: logo, colors, header, and the bundled-plugins notice.
- Choose Your Path - pick the kind of site you are building and follow a step-by-step recipe.
What do you want to build?
Section titled “What do you want to build?”BuddyX Pro styles every one of these surfaces with your theme colors, sidebars, dark mode, and header layouts. Each product below is made in-house by Wbcom Designs, and each is free-to-start with a Pro upgrade. For the full catalog - free vs Pro, what each does, and how the theme skins it - see The BuddyX Plugin Family.
| You want to build | Add this plugin | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| A community / social network | BuddyNext | Profiles, feeds, Spaces, and messaging - a modern, faster alternative to BuddyPress and BuddyBoss. |
| Online courses (LMS) | Learnomy | Courses, lessons, quizzes, certificates, and paid enrollments. |
| Events and ticketing | Eventonomy | RSVPs, paid ticketing, venues, and QR check-in. |
| A job board | WP Career Board | Listings, company profiles, resumes, and applications. |
| A directory | Listora | Member listings, claims, reviews, and monetization. |
| A services marketplace | WP Sell Services | Vendor storefronts, orders, and payouts. |
| An online store | WooCommerce | Cart, checkout, and products - BuddyX Pro adds full shop and single-product styling. |
| Media albums and galleries | MediaVerse | Media albums and galleries for your members. |
Tip: You can combine these. A learning community, for example, runs BuddyNext plus Learnomy - and BuddyX Pro keeps both surfaces on the same color scheme, typography, and dark mode.
