Often referred to as “Facebook in a box” BuddyPress is a plug-in that turns a WordPress website into a social network. At least at first, this is our private area for experimentation. For example, our first Group is an area for internal discussion about changes being coordinated with our hosting provider. Groups can be public, private (invite only) or hidden.
