I Just Chose My WordPress Theme
Hello WA Family,
If you read my post yesterday, you are aware that I added two new websites. Today I chose my theme for both of them, so that is what I am going to tell you about now
The Buddy X Theme
BuddyX is a WordPress theme designed specifically for creating community and membership websites. It leverages the popular BuddyPress plugin to provide core social networking features like
- Member profiles
- Private messaging
- Group creation
- Activity feeds
- And more
Here are some of the key features of BuddyX
Lightweight and Responsive
- BuddyX is built for speed and ensures your website looks good on all devices.
SEO Optimized
- The theme is coded to be friendly with search engines to improve your website's ranking.
Translation Ready
- BuddyX supports multiple languages and RTL layouts.
eCommerce Friendly
- It integrates with WooCommerce and WC Vendors plugins to create a marketplace within your community.
Learning Management System (LMS) Support
- BuddyX works with LearnDash, LearnPress, and Gamipress plugins to enable online courses within your community.
Page Builder Compatibility
- The theme is compatible with popular page builders like Elementor and Gutenberg for easy customization.
Overall, BuddyX is a versatile theme that can be used for various community website applications, including
- Social learning platforms
- Membership communities
- Online course platforms
- Brand communities
- Intranets and extranets
There's a free version of BuddyX available in the WordPress theme repository, but it has a premium version with additional features like advanced styling options and priority support.
Why I chose Buddy X
I already knew that I was going to choose Buddy X before starting my new website(s). You see, I have been using this for months with my website "Affiliate Marketing Clubhouse".
Being a community theme it can handle anything that I decide to add in the future, and it is super fast if you are using it just for a basic content marketing website. I have been so impressed with its smooth navigation, I knew this was the theme I wanted to use.
65 Plus Life
65 Plus Life is my senior support website, I could transform this into a senior support community. That is not my plan at this time, but with the Buddy X it is easy for me to do.
Dadventure
Dadventure is going to be providing activities and tips for single fathers. This also could have the potential of transforming into a community or membership site if I desired to.
Affiliate Marketing Clubhouse
This site as you can tell by the name also could be a membership site one day, At this time, I have no intention of turning any of them into a membership site. With this flexibility, if I ever did want to, I would not have to change my theme.
Why Buddy X
Buddy X is super fast which is a great asset in any theme, but what I love the most is the flexibility that it provides me for adding almost anything that I want in the future.
Final Thoughts
I am now ready to begin my Hubs training for these two new niches, since I am rather new to this, I plan to follow the training just like most of you should be doing.
I will keep you updated on my progress from time to time, but these are not going to be my priority at this time.
I hope you enjoyed reading about my new adventures,
Jeff

WordPress does take some time to learn, but it is well worth it once you master how to use it
Jeff

Buddy X is a good them for any website of any niche that you want to run fast and smooth. I like being able to add an online store or membership program if I desire to one day
Jeff
Hi Jeff Thanks for sharing this ..... I am restarting from scratch so this is very helpful information. One question; would it be possible to upgrade from the free version to Professional (from Buddy X ) without losing everything>
Hello Katzee
You can upgrade your theme from the free version to the paid version, what you want to do is to save your present theme before upgrading just to be safe.
