BuddyBoss Platform Pro

Running a community usually means stitching together separate tools for profiles, discussions, courses and payments. BuddyBoss Platform Pro puts these pieces inside WordPress, so members and administrators work in one place. It suits social networks, course hubs and subscription membership sites, and it works right out of the box.

You keep control of your data, content, members and payments, and you can adjust the platform to your needs because it is open source and developer-friendly. It connects with LMS plugins such as LearnDash and LifterLMS, and with tools like WooCommerce, Zoom and Google Analytics. A REST API is available for custom work.
