Qiupid - WordPress Dating Theme 1.3

Qiupid is a high-end WordPress theme specifically designed for building modern dating websites, matchmaking platforms, and social communities. Developed by ModelTheme, it is essentially a "social network in a box," combining high-fashion aesthetics with the complex functionality required for user interactions and memberships.

While your previous theme, Trade, was a marketplace for goods, Qiupid is a marketplace for connections.

Core Features

Member Profiles & Matchmaking: Includes dedicated layouts for user profiles where members can add photos, descriptions, and social links. It also features advanced search filters to help users find matches based on specific criteria.

Elementor Powered: Built natively for Elementor, giving you complete drag-and-drop control over the design. It comes with 30+ custom dating widgets specifically for showing "Latest Members," "Featured Users," or "Member Grids."

BuddyPress & Youzify Compatible: This is the theme's "engine." It integrates seamlessly with BuddyPress (the industry standard for WordPress social networking) and Youzify to handle friend requests, private messaging, and activity feeds.

Monetization (WooCommerce): Built-in support for WooCommerce allows you to charge for premium memberships, access to specific profile details, or even "virtual gifts."

Front-End User Dashboard: Provides a polished area for users to manage their profiles, upload photos, and track their matches without ever seeing the WordPress admin panel.

Why choose Qiupid?

Choose Qiupid if you want to compete with modern dating apps. It avoids the "clunky" look of older dating themes and uses a clean, trendy design that feels like a premium social network. It is particularly strong if you want to create a Niche Dating Site (e.g., for specific hobbies, locations, or communities).

Important 2025 Note

Since Qiupid relies on BuddyPress for its social features, the hosting requirements are slightly higher than a standard blog. To ensure a smooth experience for your users (especially for real-time messaging), I recommend using a host with NVMe SSD storage and at least 512MB of PHP Memory Limit.

Are you looking to build a general dating site for singles, or are you creating a niche community (like a matchmaking agency for a specific profession)? I can help you find the best plugins for specific features like "Real-time Video Chat."
