Overview

About this plugin

BuddyBuilder is the most flexible BuddyPress page builder for Elementor. Design every BuddyPress page visually — member profiles, group pages, activity streams, member directories, and group directories — using the Elementor editor you already know. No code, no theme lock-in, full creative freedom.

Instead of being stuck with your theme’s default BuddyPress templates, BuddyBuilder replaces them with Elementor-powered layouts you design yourself. Works with any WordPress theme, including BuddyBoss.

When to use BuddyBuilder

  • Custom member profiles — design unique profile pages with cover images, avatars, xprofile fields, and custom layouts
  • Branded community directories — build grid or list layouts for members and groups that match your site design
  • Activity feed design — control how activity entries, post forms, and filters look and feel
  • Group page customization — design group covers, member lists, activity tabs, and invite sections
  • Community widgets on any page — embed members grid, groups grid, or activity list anywhere on your site
  • BuddyBoss migration — switch from BuddyBoss themes to any theme while keeping full community design control

BuddyPress Pages You Can Design

  • Members Directory — custom grid/list layout with responsive columns and list/grid toggle
  • Member Profile — fully designed profile page with cover, avatar, navigation, and content widgets
  • Groups Directory — showcase all BuddyPress groups with custom styling
  • Group Page — custom group layout with cover, activity feed, members, and management sections
  • Site Wide Activity — design the main activity feed with post form, filters, and entry styling

Community Widgets for Any Page

  • Members Grid — display community members anywhere on your site
  • Groups Grid — showcase BuddyPress groups on any page
  • Activity List — embed activity entries in any Elementor layout

How it works

  • Go to WP Admin → BuddyBuilder and create a new template
  • Choose the BuddyPress component (e.g., Member Profile, Groups Directory)
  • Design with BuddyPress-specific Elementor widgets — drag, drop, style
  • Save and your BuddyPress pages instantly use the new design
