How to Use Elementor Theme Builder with BuddyBoss

Introduction

BuddyBoss seamlessly integrates with Elementor Pro, allowing you to design and launch custom pages with a visual drag-and-drop interface. Whether you’re creating landing pages, sales pages, or custom layouts for your site, Elementor gives you full control—while core BuddyBoss templates such as Activity, Profile, Groups, and Forums remain managed by the platform for stability and feature consistency.

Supported Pages for Custom Design

Use Elementor to build and style:

  • Homepages and Landing Pages
  • Course and Lesson Pages (when not overridden by BuddyBoss LMS templates)
  • Blog Posts and Archive Pages
  • Custom Post Types (e.g., Products, Portfolios)
  • Headers, Footers, and Global Templates via Elementor Theme Builder

Unsupported BuddyBoss Templates

Elementor cannot override these core BuddyBoss views:

  • Activity Stream
  • Member Profile
  • Social Groups
  • Discussion Forums
  • BuddyBoss App Screens

These are rendered by the platform to ensure tight integration with your community features.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: I don’t see the Elementor “Edit with Elementor” button—why?
A: Ensure Elementor Pro is installed and activated. Some BuddyBoss templates may disable the button on unsupported pages.

Q: My custom header isn’t appearing on all pages—what should I check?
A: Confirm your header template’s display conditions in Elementor Theme Builder include the target post types or “Entire Site.”

Q: Can I use third-party Elementor widgets with BuddyBoss?
A: Yes. Most standard and premium Elementor widgets work—just test for CSS conflicts.
