How to Display BuddyBoss App Custom Profile and Group Tabs

The BuddyBoss App Custom Profile and Group Tabs compatibility feature allows you to display custom tabs added by third-party plugins or custom code within member profiles and social groups in the BuddyBoss App. This makes it possible to bring additional profile and group content, such as listings, favorites, reviews, job dashboards, and custom pages, into the mobile app.

Once enabled, supported custom tabs can display their content in the app using web fallbacks, helping you provide access to functionality that extends beyond the standard BuddyBoss profile and group tabs.

Enable Custom Profile Tabs

1. Navigate to BuddyBoss App > Settings > Compatibility.
2. Check Enable Custom Profile Tabs in BuddyBoss App.
3. Click Save Changes.

Preparing Third-Party Tab Plugins

• For group tabs: e.g., BuddyPress Groups Tabs Creator Pro—create or assign pages to group tabs.
  Tip: Verify tabs appear correctly on your desktop site before testing in the app.
