MAM BuddyPress connects a BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Platform community to your MAM app. Members, groups, activity, forums and profiles become native app screens, served from your WordPress site. Nothing is copied or synced: posts and replies made in the app appear on the site, and the other way around.
What it adds to your app
Screens (tabs or side-menu items):
| Screen | What members see | Content type |
|---|---|---|
| Feed | Posts with photos, likes and comments; post from the phone | mam_bp_community_feed |
| Groups | Browse and join groups; each group has its own feed and member list | MAM_buddypress_all_groups |
| Forums | Forum topics and replies, new topics with photos, followed discussions | mam_bp_forum_index |
| Members | A searchable members directory, connection requests, following | MAM_buddypress_members |
Cards on the Home screen:
- Profile completion: nudges members to finish their profile.
- Latest posts: the newest posts from the feed.
- Your groups: groups the member belongs to.
- People to meet: members with friends or groups in common.
- Followed discussions: forum topics the member follows.
Member safety: report and block tools are built into the app screens.
Requirements
- Mobile App Manager (MAM)
- BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Platform. Forums need bbPress (BuddyPress) or the BuddyBoss forums component.
- A connected iOS and/or Android app.
Setting it up
The fastest way is the App Setup Wizard: choose Community app on the first step, then pick your screens and Home cards. See Recipe: Set up a community app with the setup wizard.
You can also add each screen by hand in Mobile App Manager > App Settings by creating a button with the content type from the table above.
Buying
- MAM BuddyPress Suite: everything above, plus app publishing. Choose this when BuddyPress is your app’s main content.
- MAM BuddyPress Add-On: the same features without publishing, for an app that already publishes with another MAM Suite or a custom app.
Works with
- MAM Chat Manager (member messaging)
- MAM GamiPress (levels, points and achievements)
- MAM The Events Calendar (an Events tab and an Upcoming events Home card)
