What is BuddyBoss?

BuddyBoss is a WordPress theme and plugin suite for building social communities and online courses on a self-hosted WordPress site. It adds activity feeds, groups, private messaging, member profiles and discussion forums to WordPress, and works alongside popular learning management plugins to deliver courses with student dashboards. Because it runs on the customer's own WordPress installation, community data stays in that customer's own database rather than a third party server.

BuddyBoss is sold as a flat yearly license rather than per member pricing, with a Pro plan for new creators and a Plus plan that adds a full gamification system. A Done For You Bundle includes expert setup and mobile app publishing to the Apple and Google app stores. There is no free plan or free trial, though purchases include a 14 day money back guarantee.
