What we build on BuddyBoss

Platform and theme customization

Custom BuddyBoss Platform features, child theme work, and layout changes that survive a BuddyBoss update.

BuddyBoss App configuration

Native app setup and custom screens for communities running the BuddyBoss App.

Integrations

LearnDash, WooCommerce, MemberPress and CRM integrations wired into BuddyBoss profiles and activity.

Performance work

Slow activity feeds and heavy member queries fixed for BuddyBoss communities that have grown past their original setup.

Migration off BuddyBoss

A clean move to BuddyPress with BuddyX or Reign, or to BuddyNext, with your members, groups and content intact.

Migration services

Migration onto BuddyBoss

Coming from PeepSo, Facebook Groups or another platform and want BuddyBoss specifically. We plan that move too.

How we take on a BuddyBoss project

  1. Audit the platform

    We review your BuddyBoss setup, theme customizations and installed add-ons before proposing anything.

  2. Quote the work

    Fixed price for defined work, or an hourly rate with a cap for open-ended problems. No charge for the audit.

  3. Build on staging

    Changes happen on a clone of your community and ship only once you have approved them.

Stay on BuddyBoss, or move

Best whenYour community is already on BuddyBoss and working wellYou want an established WordPress.org ecosystem and a specific themeYou are starting new or want a modern, actively developed community engine
Migration effortNone, stay where you areModerate: content and members map across, theme and add-ons need matching equivalentsModerate: same data migration, newer templates to adapt to
Where it goes wrongAdd-ons built specifically for BuddyBoss Platform do not carry over automaticallyCustom BuddyBoss Platform features need a BuddyPress-native rebuild, not a copy-pasteA very old, heavily customized site takes longer to migrate than a newer one

We were having a critical issue with our website. We were able to quickly get through to WBcom Designs and they worked with us to give them what they needed to find the problem and correct it. I highly recommend their team and especially Pallavi.

Trustpilot review, United States, Critical Issue with REIGN Theme and BuddyBoss
Fantastic 6 star support. I wanted to setup a membersite and tried many solutions. I contacted Wbcom for BuddyX and tried the theme with Buddypress. I am not a webdesigner or a coder, but had a requirement that was not standaard. I contacted WBcom and Pallavi helped me from start to finish with snippets to get my requirement working. Thanks Pallavi for your patience and support.

Questions about BuddyBoss work

Do you recommend staying on BuddyBoss or moving?
It depends on what the community needs. BuddyBoss suits teams that want its native app and admin experience; BuddyPress and BuddyNext suit teams that want more control or a different licensing model. We give you a straight answer once we understand your setup.
Will custom work survive a BuddyBoss update?
We build against BuddyBoss Platform's documented hooks and template overrides rather than editing core files, so an update should not break it. Where an override is unavoidable we flag it for review at update time.
Can you migrate a community with members currently online?
Yes. We build and test the migration on a staging copy first and schedule the cutover for low-traffic hours, with a rollback path ready.
Do you support the BuddyBoss App?
Yes, including native app configuration and custom screens tied to your platform customizations.
