BuddyPress is a popular social network plugin for WordPress. It’s made by Automattic, the same company that is behind WordPress. It’s free and it’s featured on the backend of WordPress, and it’s been around since 2009. It’s not surprising that BuddyPress has 200.000+ installs.
Third party developers have created hundreds of plugins for BuddyPress and designed plenty of themes to make it look prettier.
So what’s wrong with it?
Let’s clarify something from the get go. Our intent here is NOT to bad mouth BuddyPress. We understand that it has been created by developers in their spare time, out of pure passion, in order to service the WordPress community. And that’s cool. However, as we operate in the same sector, we have received numerous complaints throughout time on aspects and issues that WordPress users encounter such as: an outdated look and feel, numerous compatibility issues with other plugins and slow development are some of the main issues, in addition to an old code and a limited set of built-in features, not to mention a lack of speedy technical support, leaving customers feeling alone, stranded and impotent to fix issues.
Take a look at PeepSo! Ta-da…things are quite different here.
PeepSo is an established, lightweight social networking plugin for WordPress. The code is new, shiny and optimized. The design is modern and slick. It comes with some great features, including epic integration and monetization plugins such as LearnDash, Advanced Ads, WPAdverts, WooCommerce and many more. PeepSo is 100% GDPR compliant.

How it started
When Brad Bihun contacted Merav Knafo, PeepSo’s original Founder, he mentioned that WordPress’s community really needed a community plugin that was stable, effective and run by an efficient team. At the time, Merav had just acquired the popular JomSocial and her hands were full.
A year and a half later, JomSocial was running smoothly and Merav was finally ready to consider taking on a new project. PeepSo, the promising project that it was, as presented by Brad, was next on the line.
Brad found some of the best WordPress developers in the world, and put them behind PeepSo’s grand architecture. Within seventeen months (this was back in 2015), the first version of PeepSo was born.
He was right. Fast forward 3 years, into the present, we can safely say that the WordPress community has loved us and continues to support us! They’ve expressed an increasing interest, plenty of excitement and much heart-warming praise. Check out what people say about us!
What’s Next For PeepSo?
PeepSo continues to scale, steady and firm. We currently power over 3,000 communities (and counting) from all around the world. We have launched PeepSo translations in English, French, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Japanese and Dutch and are working hard on including many others! We offer 24 paid plugins plus our PeepSo Free Foundation one. We’ve simplified it for those who just want the complete experience and you can now enjoy a single license key installation for all our plugins through our PeepSo Ultimate Bundle (an absolute favorite by most).
We have big plans for PeepSo. You can check them out on our PeepSo Future page. We welcome developers interested in collaborating on the creation of third party plugins for PeepSo. If you’re a code-lover like us, visit PeepSo’s Developer Group on our community for ideas about and to get involved!
