FAQ
Integration questions
Do I need to install every integration?
No. Pick the plugins that match the use case. A pure community site just needs the free BuddyNext engine. Add Learnomy if you sell courses, MemberPress if you gate content, WooCommerce if you sell. BuddyX styles every combination out of the box.
Are the third-party plugins supported by Wbcom?
BuddyX is responsible for the styling and template overrides. The third-party plugin (LearnDash, BuddyBoss, MemberPress etc) is supported by its own vendor. Wbcom support covers BuddyX-specific theme issues and the integration glue.
Does BuddyX work with a plugin not on this list?
Most likely yes. BuddyX is a standard WordPress theme - any plugin that follows WordPress and BuddyPress conventions runs fine. The list above is the plugins we have tested or written deep integrations for. Beyond that, the integration is generic.
Can I request a new integration?
Yes - open a ticket on store.wbcomdesigns.com. We prioritize integrations by demand. The plugins on this page were almost all added based on customer requests over the last 12 years.
Which plugins should I start with?
The free BuddyNext engine plus BuddyX (theme) for any community. Add Learnomy or LearnDash for courses. Add MemberPress or PMP for paid tiers. Already on BuddyPress or BuddyBoss? Those work too. Read the community guides at /online-community/ for the full stack per use case.
Not sure which stack?
We will pick the plugins, install them, and ship the site.
