Hey guys, the link to the Corporate theme is broken. you might want to fix.
Thanks for updating these themes. Great to see you keeping updated.
Thanks for the head ups :) We’ve also just released an update to them too so they work nicely with facebook connect.
Is there a DEMO site up and running using these themes? If you want people to pay I think it’s fair that they can see what they are getting. Screenshots don’t give enough of a feel for how the theme will look navigating through different parts of a community site.
Hi Paul,
I’m afraid we don’t have a DEMO site running at the moment but I’m sure we’ll look into one in the future…
What happened to this update:
“An alternative to BuddyPress? Three new WordPress MU plugins: communities, messaging and friends”
Is that one really as powerful as BuddyPress? I’m trying to decide right now what to use. I like the wiki aspect of the plugins you built out. Any help in deciding which is best?
They both have their advantages and disadvantages – the main benefit of ours is that it doesn’t take over your install :)
