Spaces Engine Brings Business Profiles Brand Pages Local Businesses

To Your BuddyBoss Community

With Spaces Engine, your BuddyBoss community becomes a vibrant ecosystem where brands, companies and community members come together, facilitating meaningful interactions and creating shared value.

Spaces Engine natively integrates with your current stack. Endless possibilities.

Spaces fills in the missing parts of BuddyBoss groups. Sometimes you want to create a following around your brand and that’s what the Spaces plugin does. There is a reason Facebook distinguishes groups from pages and I see spaces as the Pages of Buddyboss. And behind the plugin is a great team making a powerful plugin that transforms the Buddyboss platform.

Spaces is an absolutely awesome plugin and something that should have been around ages ago. Well done

Absolutely ideal platform, does something that BB Groups has been waiting for ages, create clean and easy to index places for businesses and organisations in Buddyboss that integrate and react with Multiple users. Also a great team constantly innovating the product fast. This is an awesome plugin and well worth it

Incredibly useful plugin

Spaces Engine is a fairly new plugin, but extremely useful and feature-rich right from the start. I am impressed with the pace at which the developer adds new features. BuddyBoss is the best WordPress based communication platform for me. Spaces for BuddyBoss is for me the best addition to this platform that I have ever met. It is beautifully integrated as if we were not using a separate plugin. Great buy. Thanks to the developer.

Business Pages for BuddyBoss, finally!

BuddyBoss is a great way to start a powerful community in your niche outside of the big data hungry players. However, it lacks an option for businesses to present themselves accordingly - until now! With Spaces Engine, you can finally provide companies with their own dedicated business pages aka Spaces, where they can showcase their team, products and services. Potential customers can also send enquiries directly to a Space via a chat. Although the WordPress plugin is still in its infancy, we are very excited about it and look forward to seeing what features the future will bring. Check out the roadmap! The support is also very responsive, helpful and fast. However, we would like to see the UI/UX better adapted to that of BuddyBoss - especially for BuddyBoss Theme 2.0.

We have decided to work seamlessly integrated with the BuddyBoss Theme and the BuddyBoss Platform so our customers can have the ultimate integration experience.

Lots of styling and layouts from Spaces have been matched with BuddyBoss theme 2.0 so we do not recommend to use the Spaces Engine Plugin with themes that are not BuddyBoss theme.
