Overview

Running a community site usually means piecing together a social plugin, a reward system and a design that fits both. Vikinger brings these parts into one theme. BuddyPress supplies the social side, including user profiles, activity streams, friend connections and private messaging. GamiPress adds achievements, points and ranks, giving members a reason to return and take part.

The theme is responsive, so the community layout adapts to desktops, tablets and phones. Theme settings and layout options let you adjust the look and feel without writing code, which suits many niches and brand styles. It also works with other popular WordPress plugins when you want to extend social, e-commerce or multimedia features, and it supports membership plans, premium features or digital rewards through common payment gateways.

Features

  • BuddyPress integration: Adds the social networking features of BuddyPress, including user profiles, activity streams, friend connections and private messaging, so members can interact inside your site.
  • GamiPress gamification support: Works with GamiPress so you can set up customizable achievements, points, badges and ranks that reward members for taking part in the community.
  • Member directories and profiles: Offers detailed, searchable member directories and customizable profile pages where users can present themselves and find other people to connect with.
  • Real-time activity feeds: Members can post updates, share content and interact with each other through activity streams that show community activity as it happens.
  • Responsive modern design: The contemporary layout adapts to desktops, tablets and mobile devices, so members get a usable experience on any screen size.
  • Code-free customization: Theme settings and flexible layout options let you adjust the appearance of your community without touching a line of code.
  • Monetization options: Supports revenue through membership plans, premium features or digital rewards, and works with popular payment gateways.
  • Plugin compatibility: Compatible with popular WordPress plugins, so you can add social, e-commerce or multimedia functionality as your community grows.
