Substantially enhances Group Functionality – a better BuddyPress

On a short trial this plugin v. 3.6.7.2 appears to work perfectly with current versions. of WP and BP.
i.e. with WP 4.4.2, BP 2.4.3, bbP 2.5.8 and Theme: Twenty Sixteen v.1.1

This plugin is just, IMHO, awesome! .

The author has confirmed this plugin is being maintained and will be updated when necessary!

It provides much wanted functionality to groups ***

The plugin also has, within it, detailed tutorials for its use .

Most groups would like to say:

who they are,

what they hope to do or what they hope to achieve,

how they can be contacted,

perhaps introduce their Admin,

explain their reason for existing and

outline their method of operating.

This can all be done quite easily with this plugin.

A group can have its own Home Page (or pages). (Groups can also have custom fields)

Not only that, when set-up, admins can do all this from the front-end with full WYSIWYG editing.

And

the Tabs for Activity, Home , Groups, Members etc etc can be reconfigured on the front-end with drag and drop.

So if you want to put group “Home Page”, “Group News” or “Group Info” or whatever page etc etc on the extreme left of the Tabs as the anchor tab — you can.

How easy is that!

So for a lot of set-ups Group identity stuff that might have needed multisite and something like BP Groupblog or even multi-network can now have everything on one site.

I think thats a big deal.

I have always been hopeful that BuddyPress would excel in the social networking arena as a collaborative tool and this plugin really enhances group functionality.

***Core buddypress is beginning to incorporate some of this functionality in 2.4 see Group Home Page
