Modern Events Calendar + BuddyBoss Integration
Give Every Member a Beautiful Event Calendar Directly Inside Their Community
What is Modern Events Calendar?
Modern Events Calendar is a comprehensive WordPress event plugin with 200,000+ active users and 60+ display layouts for calendars, grids, lists, agendas, timelines, and carousels. The dedicated BuddyBoss integration add-on connects it directly to BuddyBoss Platform, letting members create events from their profiles, assign events to groups, and post event activity automatically to the BuddyBoss activity feed.
With the BuddyBoss integration active, members see an Events tab in their profile where they can submit new events, manage existing ones, and view all their reservations. Group admins can create group-specific events so members of a group can discover and register for events tied to their community space. Every new event posts to the BuddyBoss activity feed, giving the rest of the community a way to discover and share events without leaving the platform.
Modern Events Calendar Lite is free with core event display and submission features. Pro unlocks booking forms, ticket variations, recurring events, QR code check-in, seat reservation, Zoom integration, and payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, WooCommerce), starting at $99/year for one site. The BuddyBoss integration is available as a dedicated add-on from Webnus.
Key Features of Modern Events Calendar
BuddyBoss Profile Event Submission
Members create and manage events directly from their BuddyBoss profile using the frontend submission form. The profile Events tab shows all events the member has created, their upcoming attended events, and their full reservation history without requiring access to the WordPress admin.
Group Events
Events can be assigned to specific BuddyBoss groups. Group members can submit events into their group, and group admins manage event visibility and membership. Each BuddyBoss group becomes a self-contained event hub alongside its discussions and shared media.
Activity Feed Integration
New events post automatically to the BuddyBoss activity feed. Members browsing their feed discover community events from people they follow alongside all other activity updates, turning the feed into an organic event discovery channel.
60+ Display Layouts
Choose from monthly calendars, weekly agendas, masonry grids, carousels, timelines, and timetables. Display events anywhere on your BuddyBoss site using Gutenberg blocks, shortcodes, or Elementor widgets with no custom code required.
Ticketing and Booking (Pro)
Sell tickets with multiple price tiers, apply coupons and tax rules, collect custom booking form data, and check in attendees by scanning QR codes. Connect Stripe, PayPal, or WooCommerce for payment processing directly within your BuddyBoss community.
Recurring Events and Virtual Support (Pro)
Schedule events that repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or on custom rules. Run hybrid and fully virtual events with built-in Zoom and Webex integration so members can join directly from the event page inside your BuddyBoss site.

Ready to Add Events to Your BuddyBoss Community?
Modern Events Calendar’s BuddyBoss integration adds profile event tabs, group events, and activity feed posting with a dedicated add-on built for community platforms.
Use Cases and Examples
Membership Sites Publishing Community Events to the Activity Feed
Membership site owners use Modern Events Calendar with the BuddyBoss integration to let members browse and register for community events directly from the activity feed. When an admin or member creates a new event, it posts to the feed automatically. Members who see the post can click through to the event page, register, and have the event appear in their profile Events tab, all without leaving the BuddyBoss community.

Professional Networks Running Group-Specific Events
Professional communities use BuddyBoss groups as the organizing unit for events. A group for marketers hosts a monthly strategy session; a group for developers schedules a code sprint. Group admins create and manage events within their group, and members submit their own events for the group’s calendar. Each group maintains its own events calendar alongside discussions and shared files.

Course Communities Scheduling Live Sessions and Workshops
Course creators combine Modern Events Calendar with BuddyBoss and LearnDash to schedule cohort calls, live workshops, and office hours. Students discover sessions from the activity feed or their member profile Events tab, register with one click, and receive booking confirmations. Pro users add ticket tiers for paid workshops and use QR code check-in to track attendance at in-person events.

Setting up Modern Events Calendar with BuddyBoss takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to get started:
1
Install Modern Events Calendar
Download and install Modern Events Calendar Lite free from WordPress.org, or purchase Pro from webnus.net. Install the BuddyBoss integration add-on from Webnus to enable profile and group event features.
2
Enable Activity Feed Posting
Go to WordPress Dashboard > BuddyBoss > Settings > Activity > Posts in Activity Feed > Custom Post Types. Check the Events checkbox and save settings to enable automatic activity feed posts when new events are created.
3
Configure Frontend Event Submission
Go to MEC > Settings and configure the Frontend Event Submission form. Set which fields members fill in when creating events from their BuddyBoss profile and define which member roles have permission to submit, edit, and delete events.
4
Set Up Group Events
In the BuddyBoss integration settings, enable group event support. Members can now assign events to the BuddyBoss groups they belong to. Group admins control event approval and visibility for their group’s calendar.
5

Go to MEC > Shortcodes and create a new shortcode with your preferred layout. Add it to any page on your BuddyBoss site using the Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, or shortcode. Members can browse events in the layout that best fits your community design.
Benefits of Integrating Modern Events Calendar with BuddyBoss
Add Use Case Image 1
- Profile-Embedded Event Management: Members create, edit, and view all their events from the BuddyBoss profile Events tab. Upcoming events, past events, and reservation history are all accessible within the profile layout members already navigate daily, removing the need for a separate events dashboard.
- Organic Event Discovery via Activity Feed: Every new event creation posts to the BuddyBoss activity feed. Members scroll through community updates and see new events from people they follow alongside discussions and media. Event reach grows organically without requiring members to visit a dedicated events page.
- Group-Owned Event Calendars: BuddyBoss groups own and manage their own event calendars through the integration. Group members submit events into their group’s calendar and group admins maintain oversight of event creation and approvals, making each group a complete community hub with its own programming.
- 60+ Layout Options for Any Community Design: Display events across your BuddyBoss site in the layout that fits each context: a monthly calendar on the community homepage, a grid on a dedicated events page, a carousel in a sidebar. All layouts are responsive and render correctly on BuddyBoss mobile.
