What it does
Community sites often need a way to keep some content and spaces for paying or approved members. This plugin handles that inside a BuddyBoss community. You set up multiple membership levels, then decide which pages, posts, videos and courses each level can reach. Because it ties into BuddyBoss social features such as groups, forums and private messaging, access to community areas can follow the same membership rules as your content.
On the subscription side, you can offer free trials, recurring payments and paid upgrades, with payments handled through supported payment gateways. Members get a dedicated dashboard where they can track subscriptions and open their exclusive content. Automated emails cover renewals, upcoming payments and offers, and reporting shows membership growth, revenue and member activity. It suits course creators, subscription communities and membership-based social groups.

Questions about BuddyBoss Membership
Do I need the BuddyBoss Platform to use this plugin?
Yes. It is designed specifically for WordPress websites running the BuddyBoss Platform, and its integration with groups, forums and private messaging depends on those BuddyBoss social features being in place.
What kinds of content can I restrict to members?
You can restrict pages, posts, videos and courses based on membership level. Community areas such as groups and forums can also be tied to memberships, so each level sees only the content and spaces you assign to it.
Can I offer free trials and recurring subscriptions?
Yes. Subscription plans can include free trials, recurring payments and paid upgrades. Payments are processed through supported payment gateways, and members receive automated emails about renewals and upcoming payments.
Will members be able to manage their own subscriptions?
Members get a personalized dashboard where they can track their subscriptions, access their exclusive content and engage with community features. The design is responsive, so the dashboard works on phones and tablets as well as desktops.
Is BuddyBoss Membership free?
The code of BuddyBoss Membership 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 Membership is this?
Version 1.14.1, released Sep 11, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update BuddyBoss Membership?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of BuddyBoss Membership automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
