Boss. Theme?

[James]

Is there a new theme coming?

[Alyssa]

@jgwolfensberger yes there is. We have an early release period for those who were in the beta. General public release is coming soon.

[Andrew]

Will those who have paid for the beta have to pay again for the main release?

[Alyssa]

@digital-porch no, beta tester do not have to pay again for the main release.

So I just purchased the BuddyBoss theme and plugins from you… If the new Boss theme is something I would have wanted instead what am I going to be charged for the new theme over the old BuddyBoss? Should I have just waited? Have I wasted my money when I should have waited?

Dave.

@dnosker Hey David,

No im not a BuddyBoss employee so don’t take any of this as the final answer, but I hope I can shed some light.

You haven’t wasted your money at ALL – BuddyBoss is the leading Premium BuddyPress theme for as long as I can remember. Should you have waited? NO! Both Boss & BuddyBoss are absolutely awesome and are great themes to have in your arsenal, whether for your personal sites or clients sites.

Im sure @tjchester and the team will work something out for you, but I hope by now you’ve installed BuddyBoss itself and can’t wait to get a hold of Boss too!

Cheers,
Aron

@dnosker Welcome to the BuddyBoss community! The themes are independent of each other. It really depends on what you want from your online community. We do have a 60 day money back guarantee if you would prefer to purchase the Boss theme. The new Boss theme is more expensive and includes only 1 year of support. It also has a multi-site license option. When it comes out within the next week and you want the Boss theme instead please fill out the contact form for a refund of the BuddyBoss theme.

@tjchester – is there any plan for the original BuddyBoss theme being phased out? Boss looks interesting, but it isn’t right for my site.

[Alyssa]

@jgwolfensberger absolutely not, we are developing these two themes separately. In fact, hopefully this will speed improvements to the BuddyBoss theme as well!
