Integration

BuddyNext

BuddyNext is Wbcom's in-house social-networking layer and Jetonomy is the forum and Q&A layer. Run them together and the forum adopts BuddyNext's look and lets BuddyNext own the page header and navigation, with no configuration.

Why it matters

How BuddyNext helps your community

  • You get a complete community platform from one vendor: social profiles and a feed plus structured discussion and Q&A.
  • The forum matches your social layer in light and dark mode without writing any CSS.
  • Pages show one header and one navigation instead of two competing sets of chrome.
  • There is nothing to configure: the integration turns on by itself when both plugins are active.

What it offers

Inside BuddyNext

  • Inherits BuddyNext design tokens through the Jetonomy token cascade for accent colour, type, radius, and dark mode.
  • Suppresses Jetonomy's own header and navigation so BuddyNext owns the page layout.
  • Responds to BuddyNext's dark mode toggle so community pages switch theme instantly.

Best for: Owners who want the social layer and the forum from a single vendor.
