Vikinger - BuddyPress and GamiPress Social Community WordPress Theme - Techariens

Modern Social Community Theme for WordPress
This theme has been thoughtfully designed to give you everything necessary to build a vibrant online community. With detailed user profiles, interactive features like reactions, groups, badges, quests, ranks, credits, and plenty more in development, it sets the stage for a powerful social experience.

Stay Connected with an Engaging Social Network
Built on the BuddyPress platform, this theme enhances it with added features like media uploads, post reactions, content sharing, and more—bringing your social network to life with a richer experience.

Complete Gamification Through GamiPress
To keep users engaged, the theme uses GamiPress to deliver a full gamified experience. Users can earn badges, complete quests, gain credits, and move up ranks—all contributing to an immersive, fun environment.

Polished and Purposeful Page Designs
Every page layout has been created with detail and functionality in mind. Alongside this, a collection of beautifully crafted illustrations and layered PSD files are included, offering easy customization.

Detailed User Profiles and Interactive Newsfeeds
The user profile section is fully featured, with clean design and tabbed content areas that display everything from personal info to achievements. Users can easily access sections like about, media, badges, posts, and more. The site also features other vital pages like the newsfeed, full settings panel, member listings, and group directories.

Upgraded Status Posting Features
The classic BuddyPress status update box has been completely redesigned. Users can now upload images, post GIFs, share YouTube videos by just pasting the link, and edit posts—all from the front end. Post types include both standard updates and automated activities (like new friendships). You can even pin or favorite posts with easy-to-recognize custom icons.

Show Your Feelings with Interactive Reactions
An exclusive reactions plugin was built for this theme, featuring custom-drawn illustrations. Users can react with one of 8 emotions: Like, Love, Dislike, Happy, Funny, Wow, Angry, or Sad. Reactions are available on posts, comments, and replies across the entire platform.

Effortless Sharing Across the Community
The theme includes a custom share feature for BuddyPress. Users can share any post directly onto their own feed by clicking the “Share” button, opening a popup to add comments and reshare the content. It also works with your own past posts, making it easy to revive old content.

Unlock Achievements with Badge Rewards
Through the GamiPress achievements system, users can earn badges and credits that contribute to profile progression. Badges are displayed in a dedicated widget, and a PSD file with vector-based badge designs is included for full customization or creating new ones.

Complete Challenges with Quest Features
Also using GamiPress, a full quest system allows users to earn credits by completing goals. Displayed in the profile with a special widget, quest medals are fully editable in PSD format and ready to be personalized.

Earn and Use Virtual Credits
GamiPress points are used to generate three types of virtual credits: Gold, Gems, and Emeralds. These credits are used for unlocking profile ranks and other achievements. Users can always see their balance at the top of the page. Editable PSD files are included for all currency icons.

Progress with Rank Leveling
The ranks system features six levels, which users unlock by completing specific tasks and gathering credits. The current rank and progress are shown around the user’s avatar for quick reference. All six rank shields are vector-based and editable via PSD files.

Blog with Multiple Layouts and Post Reactions
The blog section offers three layout options: list, small grid, and large grid. It supports various post formats including standard articles, videos, audios, and galleries. Just like status posts, blog entries also feature reaction icons for interactive feedback.

Includes Custom Artwork and Icons
All design assets like currency icons, rank shields, badges, banners, landing illustrations, and more are bundled in vector-based PSD files. The package also comes with SVG icons and 16 avatar illustrations (15 characters plus 1 smiley). These are illustration assets, not complete PSDs of full pages.

Group Features and Member Management
To make the experience easier for users, the theme includes a front-end author panel. Here, users can manage their profile, avatar, cover image, social links, and personal details without ever needing to access the WordPress backend.

Advanced Group Controls in the Author Panel
Group creation and management are built into the same author hub. Users can create groups, assign moderators or admins, manage invitations, and more through an intuitive, well-designed interface.

Enhanced User Experience with React Integration
Parts of the theme are built with React to make them more dynamic. This means users can interact with many features (like filtering, reacting, favoriting, and commenting) without waiting for a page to reload. This does affect compatibility with some plugins, so support may be needed to make certain add-ons work correctly.

Check the Live Demo for Full Feature Showcase
You can preview all the features by visiting the live demo site. There’s also a library of setup and customization tutorial videos available to help you get the most out of the theme.

If you have any questions, it’s best to ask before purchasing to ensure the theme fits your needs.
