Use BuddyBoss Memberships with BuddyBoss Courses
BuddyBoss Memberships can be used to protect access to:
- BuddyBoss Courses
- Course Categories
- Course Tags
This allows you to restrict course access so that only members with the appropriate membership plan can view or enroll in protected courses.
