LoveDate is a WordPress theme for dating sites, LGBT platforms, online communities and social networks. It works with Elementor and comes with its own member plugin, LoveDate Members, for profiles, the member directory, search, photo galleries, groups and forums. You do not need BuddyPress or bbPress, and you need no coding to launch a full dating site.
The matching engine compares profile fields, shows a match percentage, and filters members by distance. Members can like, send Super Likes, rewind a swipe, post stories, send gifts, chat in real time with emoji, GIFs and files, and verify their profile. You earn through Paid Memberships Pro plans, WooCommerce credit packages, Super Like packages and gender-based free usage. Push notifications, email templates, member reporting and blocking are included.
New in 4.2.9: members can log in with a phone number (SMS or WhatsApp code) or by scanning a QR code.
