Buddypress vs. Directory question

[QuenchStudio]

I don’t have a specific link to show or problem with ask about. My question is for the client site I’m working on. It’s a membership site where they want members to be able to add their information to a membership directory listing. Of course, the directory function would be perfect, but it’s more for places vs. people. I know the question was asked in the featured section about making the directory section more robust – any ideas on when that might happen? If it’s not any time soon – could the same things be done with Buddypress? Could there be a member directory page, possibly organized by category? A listing where the member can add their own information, upload a photo, etc. Or should I look into a directory listing plugin?

Thanks,
Kendall

Hi Kendall,

I think BuddyPress would likely be the better option, unless something like this would be a better fit? http://codecanyon.net/item/userpro-user-profiles-with-social-login/5958681
