 * Hello, kinda new to WordPress. Does your plugin Groups replace BuddyPress (BP),
   or does it simply complement BP? I have installed your plugin, so can i uninstall
   BP after installing Groups?
 * Also, may I suggest that you add something to your plugin’s name as it appears
   on the WP dashboard, just to make it recognizable AS being different from BP
 * Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdoes-groups-replace-buddy-press%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey,
 * No, these are different things with different intentions. As far as Groups is
   concerned, I’d advise to check out its documentation so you understand better
   what it is about particularly: [https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/](https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/)
 * And I’d do the same with BuddyPress, have a look at its documentation [https://codex.buddypress.org/](https://codex.buddypress.org/)
   and see what would be a proper fit for your requirements.
 * Cheers
