BuddyPress Groups

BuddyPress ^outbound is a powerful community plugin for WordPress. It includes all of the features you've come to expect from any online community, like: user profiles, groups, activity streams, notifications, and more.

BuddyPress + FrontPage Buddy: You can now create informative landing pages for buddypress groups. Allow group admins to customize the group's front page by adding details about the group, embedding videos, promoting related social media profiles, etc.

Configuration

Install and activate FrontPage Buddy ^outbound like any other plugin.

Go to Settings > FrontPage Buddy. If you have buddypress active & groups enabled, frontpage buddy will automatically detect that and give you options to enable it for groups. You should see something like the following:

Integrations Tab

Configure BuddyPress

Go to Appearance > Customize > BuddyPress Nouveau > Group front page > and check Enable custom front pages for groups & Enable custom boxes for group homepages options, if those aren't enabled already.
Frontpage Buddy has no effect if those are not enabled.

If you can't find those options in customizer it is most likely because your theme doesn't support buddypress. Contact the theme authors.

Enable this integration

Turn on this switch. If you keep this integration disabled, frontpage buddy will have no effect on groups, even if the plugin is active.

Show prompt to group admins ... ?

Use this to show/hide a message that is displayed to group admins when they are viewing the new front page of a group.

This can be used to encourage group admins to add content to the front page. This can also be used to add a link to the page where the front page can be customized.

Prompt text

The contents of the aforementioned message.

Redirect empty front page

When you enable front pages for groups, it is enabled for all groups. BuddyPress doesn't provide any option to enable it conditionally.
This may be an inconvenience as all groups will now first show an empty page, until group admins have added some content to their groups' front pages.
To avoid this, you can instruct FrontPage Buddy to redirect empty front pages to another part of the group like 'Activity'.

Group admins will not be redirected though.

Widgets Tab

Go to widgets tab and choose all the widgets you want to make available for groups.
