Overview

Running a community on WordPress usually means piecing together separate tools for profiles, discussions and messaging. BuddyBoss Platform brings those pieces into one plugin. Members get customizable profiles and member types, and they can post in activity feeds, join private groups, take part in forums and send private messages to each other.

The same foundation handles courses and paid access. It connects with LMS tools such as LearnDash and LifterLMS, and you can control content access with membership plugins like MemberPress and Restrict Content Pro. Because the plugin is open source, developers can extend it through supported APIs. There are no limits on members, courses, groups or forums, and you keep control of your own data.

Features

  • Activity feeds and groups: Members share updates in activity feeds and gather in secure social groups, which gives your community a central place to talk and interact.
  • Private messaging and forums: Built-in private messages and discussion forums let members talk one-on-one or in public threads, including replies and videos in discussions.
  • Customizable member profiles: Create member profiles and set up customizable member types, so different kinds of members can be told apart on your site.
  • Online course support: Offer courses with student dashboards, document management and discussion forums, with integrations for LMS tools like LearnDash and LifterLMS.
  • Membership access control: Restrict content and set up private groups, working alongside membership plugins such as MemberPress and Restrict Content Pro.
  • Live streams and group calls: Host live streams and group video calls through Zoom and YouTube Live integrations, useful for virtual events and classes.
  • Admin and moderation tools: Administrative controls and moderation features help you manage members and content and keep the community orderly.
  • Open source and extensible: Hundreds of built-in options, dedicated extensions, supported APIs and access to the source code on GitHub give developers room to customize.

Best for

  • Site owners building a social network on WordPress
  • Educators running online courses with student communities
  • Creators and businesses running membership sites
