Overview
Many community and course sites end up stitching together several tools for profiles, discussions, lessons and payments. BuddyBoss Theme brings these jobs into one WordPress theme. Members get profiles, activity feeds, messaging and groups, while course creators get student dashboards, quizzes, certificates and gamification. The layouts can be customized and adapt to different screen sizes.
The theme places no stated limit on members, courses, groups, events or admins, so a site can grow without a change of platform. Developers can adjust the site through a developer toolkit and API access, and the theme works with BuddyPress and other popular plugins. It fits an online school, a social network, or a mix of both that charges for access to courses and memberships.
Features
- Unlimited members and courses: Host as many members, courses, groups, events and admins as your community needs, with no caps on how large the platform can grow.
- Online course tools: Offer student dashboards, gamification, microlearning, quizzes, certificates and lesson unlocks, so learners can follow courses inside the same site as your community.
- Social networking features: Members get profiles, activity feeds, direct messaging, friends and followers, comments, likes, mentions, and both private and public groups.
- Events and job boards: Run unlimited events and set up job boards, giving your community places to meet and share professional opportunities.
- Built-in payment integrations: Process payments for courses, memberships or an online store directly through the platform using the payment integrations included in the theme.
- Customizable and developer friendly: Adjust layouts and design to match your brand, and add custom functions with the open-source platform, developer toolkit and API access.
- Notifications and social search: Real-time notifications keep members informed, and the social search helps them find content, posts, profiles and groups across the network.
- Translations and admin roles: Enable translations and localization for other languages or regions, and assign multiple admins with custom permissions and access levels.
