PeoplePress provides a WordPress-based platform for building and managing online communities. Designed as a flexible alternative to hosted community services, it lets site owners create social features on infrastructure they control, with no coding required. The platform includes member profiles with custom fields and privacy controls, real-time activity feeds, public, private and hidden groups, private messaging, and threaded forums built on bbPress. Groups can have their own feeds, membership and permissions, helping communities organise discussions around their needs.

PeoplePress also offers modular add-ons to extend a community with additional features. Its bundles provide access to the core platform and existing and upcoming extensions, with options for solo developers and agencies. The company provides pricing information, documentation, support forums and direct assistance, along with guidance for migrating members, profiles, groups and activity from BuddyBoss or BuddyPress. PeoplePress works with existing WordPress themes and allows templates to be overridden for further customisation. Licences include at least one production site, and all plans permit unlimited local and staging installations.
