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.

View Pricing Launch Demo

Spaces Engine 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with Spaces Engine?

expand_more

You can get started in minutes. Please head to this guide from our knowledge base, where we cover the basics of setting up and using the Spaces Engine plugin.

Do you offer support and help?

expand_more

Absolutely! Please use our contact form to send us a message and our team will come back to you between 24-48 hours from Monday to Friday during regular business hours in the UK.

Please note: The support is limited to users of the BuddyBoss theme and the BuddyBoss Platform (both required). We cannot provide support to users of the BuddyBoss app (see below).

Is Spaces Engine compatible with other themes?

expand_more

The short answer is, NO.

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.

Is this plugin compatible with the BuddyBoss App?

expand_more

Many of our customers are using Spaces Engine with the BuddyBoss App with great results.

This is because the BuddyBoss App allows for incompatible plugins (those not explicitly endorsed as compatible by BuddyBoss) to load as a ‘web fallback’.

We are not able to support any aspects of the BuddyBoss App, as we do not test any of Spaces Engine with the App, and are also unable to debug any issues with it.

Using Spaces Engine with the BuddyBoss App is at your own risk. Please ensure you have a plan in place for testing and debugging, such as access to an experienced web developer with app knowledge.

Do you have a refund policy or guarantee?

expand_more

You are fully protected by our 100% Money Back Guarantee. If during the next 30 days you experience an issue that makes the plugin unusable and we are unable to resolve it, we’ll happily consider offering a full refund of your money. You can read our full refund policy here.

Do you have a feature request board?

expand_more

Yes we do and we love receiving your requests! Please visit our board here.
