Love this company
Love this company. Loved the REIGN product. They were there the entire time helping me set things up; and when things went wrong? They were quick to take action and help find a solution.
Start here
One purchase. Then add what you need.
Most WordPress community stacks ask you to buy a theme, then a membership plugin, then an LMS, then something for events, before you have seen a single member sign up. This is not that.
Reign theme
BuddyNext The self-hosted community engine for WordPress 
Jetonomy Community forum and Q&A for WordPress 
Learnomy Courses and learning communities on WordPress 
MediaVerse Photos, video, and media albums for members A course community, assembled: the theme you buy, then members, discussions, lessons and a photo feed, all installed free.
- 01
Buy the theme
$99/yr or $249 once
One product. Reign designs every page your community plugins create, so the whole site looks like one thing instead of five.
- 02
Add the pieces free
No cost
11 of our own plugins install free: the community engine, courses, forums, events, jobs, directories, media, and more. A working community, without a second invoice.

Go Pro on one piece
From $59/yr each
When one part of your community starts earning, upgrade just that plugin. Every plugin has its own Pro plan. You never buy a bundle to get one feature.
What a real first year looks like
Say you are building a course community: members, discussions, lessons, and a photo feed. Here is the whole bill.
Later, when courses start selling, Learnomy Pro adds payments, drip content, and grading for $149/yr. That is a decision you make after the community exists, not before.

Doing it, step by step
-
Buy and install Reign
$99 a year or $249 once for a single site. You get the theme, the demo importer, updates, and support. Install it like any WordPress theme.
-
Add the community engine, free
BuddyNext gives you member profiles, activity feed, groups, messages, notifications. Download it from your Wbcom account, install, activate. Reign styles it immediately, so you are not looking at default plugin markup.
Already running BuddyPress or BuddyBoss? Keep it. Reign styles those too, and our BuddyPress Community Bundle adds the Pro community plugins for that stack.
-
Add the pieces your community needs
11 of our plugins install free: courses, forums, events, jobs, a marketplace, directories, media, points and badges. Add the ones that match what you are building and skip the rest. See what each one does.
-
Upgrade one plugin when it earns its keep
Pro plans are per plugin, from $59 a year. You never buy a bundle to unlock a single feature, and you never pay for a part of the stack you are not using. Compare free and Pro.
