Elementor Page Builder + BuddyBoss Integration
Design your community pages exactly the way you want them.
What is Elementor Page Builder?
Elementor is a drag-and-drop page builder for WordPress used on over 19 million websites. You build pages visually in real time, without touching code. The free version gives you 40+ widgets and a live frontend editor.
Elementor Pro adds a Theme Builder, Popup Builder, WooCommerce support, custom CSS, dynamic content, and 100+ additional widgets. Together, they give you full control over how every page on your BuddyBoss community looks and behaves.
This integration is developed and maintained by BuddyBoss. Both the free Elementor plugin and Elementor Pro work with BuddyBoss Platform and the BuddyBoss Theme.
Key Features of Elementor Page Builder
Live Drag-and-Drop Editor
Build pages in real time. Drag widgets onto your BuddyBoss pages, move sections, adjust spacing, and see every change instantly without switching to a preview tab.
BuddyBoss Platform Widgets
Access BuddyBoss-specific widgets directly inside Elementor. Drag activity feeds, member directories, group listings, and course content blocks onto any page on your site.
Theme Builder (Pro)
Design your site’s header, footer, single post templates, and archive pages using the same visual editor. Your BuddyBoss theme layout stays consistent across every page type.
Popup Builder (Pro)
Create targeted popups for member login prompts, course upsells, or group invitations. Set display conditions so popups appear for specific member types or on specific BuddyBoss pages.
Dynamic Content (Pro)
Pull live data into your page designs. Display member names, profile fields, course titles, and group details dynamically so pages update automatically for each user.
Pre-Built BuddyBoss Templates
Start from ready-made section templates built for BuddyBoss: call-to-action blocks, pricing tables, contact forms, landing pages, and more. Customize them to match your brand.
