BuddyPress Featured Members

The BuddyPress Featured Members plugin allows site admins to mark users as featured and display the list of featured users as a list or slider.

Admins can mark multiple users as featured and display the Featured Members using a shortcode or widget or on the BuddyPress Members’ page.

The integration works and requires the BuddyBoss Platform installed and activated on your website.

BuddyBoss Platform is a fork and forge of the BuddyPress plugin and bbPress plugin. Any plugin developed for the BuddyPress and bbPress plugin is supported by the BuddyBoss Platform.

You do NOT need to install the BuddyPress plugin or the bbPress plugin separately. BuddyBoss Platform acts as a replacement for both the plugins.
