BuddyApp Plugins

The plugins BuddyApp works with are listed on the Plugins tab of the BuddyApp Panel (Appearance > BuddyApp Panel). Each one is marked Required, Recommended or Premium, with its state (Active, Installed, Update available, Not installed) and one button: Install, Activate, Update or Deactivate.

You usually do not need to start here: a demo import installs and activates the plugins that demo needs. Use the Plugins tab to set up a site without a demo, to add a plugin later, or to update WPBakery Page Builder, the premium plugin that comes with BuddyApp. It shows Requires registration until you register BuddyApp.

Not all sites need all of these plugins: install only what your project needs.
