Hello,
You must already opt for a premium theme compatible with buddypress if you want to create a good free dating site on the internet. What theme do you use?
Hello MarieChris,
The appearance depends a lot on the theme you are using. The theme used for this tutorial is twentyfourtheen (Unless I'm wrong). This is the reason why (especially if you have a different theme) the result is not the same.
Goods.
Excellent I did not know this WordPress plugin to create a dating site, the tutorial thank you!
