How to Create a Business Page on a BuddyBoss Community?

How to Create a Business Page on a BuddyBoss Community?

A dedicated business page gives your BuddyBoss community a real storefront presence, separate from any single member’s profile, with its own activity feed, contact channel, and (depending on what you’re selling) event and job listings attached.

What BuddyPress Business Profile Does

BuddyPress Business Profile from Wbcom Designs provides this. Members showcase products, services, portfolio pieces, and reviews on their own page, and can post updates, events, and job listings directly from it.

Current version (v2.1.0):

  • Customizable profile fields, logo, cover image, contact info, social links.
  • A business activity feed with comments and likes.
  • Private messaging through a per-page inbox.
  • Role management, admins, editors, moderators, with control over who can create, edit, or delete pages.
  • Public, private, or hidden visibility per page.
  • Reviews and star ratings, a searchable directory with map view, and LocalBusiness SEO schema.

Requirements

An existing BuddyPress or BuddyBoss community, PHP 7.2+, WordPress 5.0+. Works on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and is responsive across devices.

Creating the Page

Install and activate the plugin, then click Create a Business.

BuddyBoss business page example

Enter the business name, a short description, and a category. Click Create Business and Continue, upload a profile photo, then a cover image, and the page is live. Reviews, follower activity, and content can be added any time after.
