Sayidan – University Alumni WP theme Overview
Sayidan is a WordPress theme built around alumni networks and student communities at universities, colleges and other schools. It is sold on ThemeForest by wp_asia, with support and customization guides provided by Kenzap, and recent releases added support for PHP 8.4 and WordPress 6.8.
What sets Sayidan apart is its focus on people. The Ultimate Member plugin comes preinstalled, so visitors can register, fill in profile fields such as bio, department, location or CV, and appear automatically in a searchable directory. Administrators can also add, edit or remove members from the WordPress dashboard and define their own custom profile fields. Profiles can be public or restricted, and directories can be searched by any of the data members enter.
Around that community core, the theme provides pages for programs and events with countdown timers, Google Maps locations and call-to-action buttons, a career section for job offers and CV applications, alumni stories with tags, galleries, news, interviews and a blog. Pages can also be restricted so that course notes, PDFs or other e-learning materials are available only to registered users.

Who Sayidan – University Alumni WP theme Is Suitable For
Sayidan fits Canadian alumni associations, university and college advancement offices, and student unions that want members to connect with each other. An alumni office can invite graduates to register, keep a searchable directory, promote reunions and homecoming events, share graduate success stories and post job openings from alumni employers.
It also suits professional schools, design and language schools, music and dance academies and distance-learning programs that want a members-only area for course materials. Career services departments can use the job module to connect students with employers, and private schools can run a password-protected hub for families or former students.
Important Notes About Sayidan – University Alumni WP theme
Member directories hold personal information, so the owner is responsible for privacy compliance: collect only what is needed, get clear consent before profiles are displayed, and default sensitive fields to private. Job postings should follow applicable provincial employment rules. Google Maps requires your own API key.
Recent updates addressed PHP 8.4 and WordPress 6.8 support, but Ultimate Member is a separate plugin with its own update cycle. Demo images are for illustration only, and a regular licence covers one site.
