What's in the bundle
Buy one theme. Get a platform.
When you start a community, you usually shop for a forum plugin, an LMS, a job board, a directory, and a gamification tool. BuddyX Pro ships the free version of all seven, pre-configured to work together with the theme. The Pro version of each plugin is sold separately if you outgrow the free tier.

Login screens
A login screen worth signing in to.
The default WordPress login looks like 2010. BuddyX Pro replaces it with branded login, sign-up, and password-reset screens. Set your logo, brand colour, and background image in the Customizer, then pick from four layouts. Your members get a sign-in flow that feels like the rest of your site.
Dark mode, done right
Members who use dark mode stay longer.
BuddyX Pro ships a proper dark theme. Hand-tuned contrast on every component, not a CSS filter inversion. Your members get the option their phones already taught them to expect.
Click the switch to preview both modes.

Common questions
Everything you need before you buy.
Question not listed? Ask the team that builds BuddyX Pro.
-
01 Can I use BuddyX Pro on a client site?
Yes. Single Site, 5 Sites, and Unlimited tiers all allow client use. Pick the tier that matches the number of client sites you plan to maintain at one time. Your licence covers each site for the duration of your annual or lifetime term.
-
02 What happens when my annual licence expires?
The theme keeps working. Updates and support stop until you renew, and renewals are 30% off. Lifetime licenses never expire.
-
03 What exactly is bundled with BuddyX Pro?
You get the BuddyX Pro theme plus the free version of 7 Wbcom plugins pre-configured to work together: Jetonomy, MediaVerse, WB Gamification, WP Career Board, WP Sell Services, Listora, and Learnomy. The Pro versions of each plugin are sold separately if you outgrow the free tier on any of them.
-
04 Is there a refund policy?
Yes. 30 days. If BuddyX Pro is not the right fit, request a refund within 30 days of purchase and we will process it. No question form to fill in.
-
05 Will I get all future updates and new layouts?
Yes. During your licence period (annual) or for the life of the product (lifetime), every update and every new Pro layout is included. We add layouts every few releases.
-
06 Can I install the bundled plugins on different sites?
The free versions of the bundled plugins are GPL and you can install them on any site, with or without a BuddyX Pro licence. Your BuddyX Pro licence covers the theme on the number of sites your tier allows, plus unlimited local and staging environments.
-
07 Do you offer support?
Yes. Every Pro tier gets the same priority email support from the team that builds these products. No tiered queue, no outsourced first-line. Renewing customers and new buyers both get the same response window.
-
08 Is the code GPL licensed?
Yes. BuddyX Pro and the bundled plugins are GPL. You can fork them, build child themes, ship modifications. The licence we sell covers updates and support, not the code itself.
-
09 How does this compare to BuddyBoss Platform Pro?
BuddyBoss Platform charges around $228 per year for a theme alone. BuddyX Pro is a theme plus 7 plugin integrations, starting at $79 per year. We work with BuddyBoss Platform too if you prefer that stack, since BuddyX Pro supports both.
