I am researching LMS plugins to create an e-learning system using WordPress. I am introducing the paid version of the TutorLMS plugin. Since I want to create a full-fledged system, I am comparing the features of the paid version.

This time, we will explain how to add the BuddyPress function, which is a feature of the paid version of TutorLMS.
