Wordpress as a dating site

Come to you guys because you all are far more knowledgeable about programming then I am. I run a dating site using a scriptcalled dating pro and it is becoming pretty popular.


1.Does buddypress still have issues with spam profile registrations?


2. Is this issue of spam profile registrations bad enough that, in your opinion, it is not worth using buddypress?


3. How would you compare buddypress vs a dating script?


Buddypress has better looking design, themes and template. It is also easy to install plugins and widgets. However, from what I know it has serious issues with spam profile.


My dating pro script Virtually has no issues with spam registration. However, the design does not look as good as buddypress and it is way harder to add changes to it vs buddypress.


Thank you guys in advance for your time and extensive knowledge.

    I heard that Buddy Press is a bit out of date & rarely updated now - my friend who designs WordPress sites has had a fair bit of trouble with it recently, and has since started doing more of his own design.

    Why not try one of the freelance sites to get someone to design you a custom template for the script you are using.

    I've tried using Wordpress as dating site, it wasn't really a great idea, lots of spam submissions, can't recommend due to some other issues too. Switched to Dating Pro, the absolute worst case, in general if all the announced features would work as they should be not bad, but script is expensive but not stable and issue after issue. Lack of detailed technical documentation. All in all wasted lots of time and money.

    WordPress isn't the best option for building a dating website. However, if you decide to use it, install a dating script instead of BuddyPress. It's your best bet.
