What it does
Running courses on a community site often means juggling a learning tool and a separate social space. This plugin is built for BuddyBoss websites and brings the two together. You build lessons and modules with a drag-and-drop course builder, add videos, audio files, PDFs and interactive elements, and then link each course to BuddyBoss social groups and discussion forums. Learners get a place to ask questions and help one another while they work through the material.
On the management side, you can track learner progress and performance through analytics and reports, and test knowledge with customizable quizzes placed directly inside courses. Badges, points and certificates give students a reason to keep going. Enrollment can be open, paid or private, and permission controls help protect content and student data. The plugin is mobile friendly and translation ready, which suits schools, employee training programs and professional development portals.
Best for

Questions about BuddyBoss Courses
Does this work on a regular WordPress site without BuddyBoss?
The plugin is tailored for BuddyBoss-powered websites. Its community features, such as linking courses to social groups, forums and member profiles, rely on the BuddyBoss platform, so it is meant for sites already built on BuddyBoss.
Can I charge for some courses and keep others free?
Yes. Enrollment can be set per course as open, paid or private. That lets you offer free introductory material, sell other courses, and restrict some to invited learners only, depending on how your program is organized.
What kinds of content can I put in a lesson?
Lessons can include embedded videos, audio files, PDFs and interactive elements. You arrange them with the drag-and-drop course builder, and you can add customizable quizzes and tests directly within courses to check understanding.
Will learners be able to use courses on their phones?
The plugin has a mobile-friendly design, so learners can follow lessons on different devices. It is also translation ready and supports multiple languages, which helps if your audience reads in more than one language.
Is BuddyBoss Courses free?
The code of BuddyBoss Courses is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of BuddyBoss Courses is this?
Version 1.6.0, released Oct 16, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
