BuddyBoss Setup Wizard
Set up BuddyBoss without a developer. A guided onboarding layer that walks non-technical community builders through configuration, plugin compatibility checks, and recommended settings — in plain language.
Everything your community needs
Set up BuddyBoss without a developer
Step-by-step guided setup
A clean checklist walks you through BuddyBoss configuration end-to-end. No tabs hunting, no jargon, no guesswork.
Plugin compatibility checks
Scans your active plugins for known BuddyBoss conflicts and flags them before they break your site.
Recommended settings
Smart defaults for community, membership, and LMS sites. Based on what actually works, not BuddyBoss's generic defaults.
Plain language, no jargon
Written for community managers, not developers. Every step explains what and why — not just a tooltip.
Progress tracking
Leave the setup and come back later. Progress is saved. No need to start over.
Skip to what you need
Only care about membership? Skip the LMS steps. Only running a cohort? Skip member directories. Not linear — modular.

Common questions
Yes. The Setup Wizard is a lead-gen tool for the rest of the BaobabPlugins catalog and for our agency (Proportion Global). No premium tier planned.
No. The whole point of this plugin is that you don't. If any step requires developer knowledge, we explain it in plain English or skip it with a warning.
You can still run the wizard as an audit. It will flag anything misconfigured or worth revisiting.
Only when you explicitly apply a step. Nothing changes in the background without your action.
