can you create facebook like site with wordpress?

You can create social networking site with facebook by using buddypress plugin. However, I have checked social networking site created with buddypress and it is no where near facebook. The social networking site from wordpress look very primitive.

I have been at sites where an attempt was made to create a social network for its members. But like you say it's nowhere near a Facebook "look alike". Also, even if it did look like Facebook, it's still hard to get the members to engage because most people are interacting via Facebook.

I am not asking about cloning facebook, I am asking about whether we can create facebook like site (in terms if concept and user experience) with wordpress.

I think you can't create social media platforms by having basic WordPress. Facebook is very far from having basic codes. Mark Zuckerberg is a genius programmer so he makes good coding just to improve his sites. And he has lots of programmers that maintain his sites.

That's true. UNless you close facebook, you can never create a facebook like site. Wordpress powered social media is nothing like facebook.

You can definitely create a social networking site with WordPress using plugins like BuddyPress or PeepSo, but as you've pointed out, the experience is not going to be on the same level as Facebook. WordPress is a great tool for smaller social platforms, but when it comes to advanced features, scalability, and user experience, you'll face limitations. If you're wondering how to start a social media site, WordPress is a good starting point, especially for niche communities, but for something as robust as Facebook, you'd need a more custom-built solution.

Creating a Facebook like website is possible with Wordpress, keep in mind that building a successful social network requires ongoing engagement and development efforts.
