Reply To: GD + BuddyPress + Job Board

I think it depends on what you want to do. My site is essentially an information source for progressive lawyers and the job board and community aspects as well as the blog are essential features of the site. The directory is important but not as important as the job board part so I am using a non-GD specific theme. Stiofan is apparently rewriting the CSS and certain other parts of the plugin so it will play better with well written themes so that is even more of a reason to stick to a non-GD theme if your site is going to be anything other than a directory.

Avada has all I need (and more!) and you can turn off what you don’t use so that is why I am going with that. Eventually I can see myself hiring a developer to better integrate the various functions of my site so that paying for a listing on the job board and directory are not handled separately but for now this will do.

WPJobBoard is a great plugin and the developer is very much like Stiofan and Paolo in that he is constantly updating and improving his product and is very responsive to the community so I highly recommend it. I have learned the hard way that going with freebie plugins leaves you vulnerable when the developer walks. As I am not a developer I prefer to pay for my code.
