Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/welbinator/group-category-for-buddyboss/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Add a custom taxonomy called Group Categories to BuddyBoss groups. This plugin allows site admins to organize groups into hierarchical categories, display categories with featured images, and associate groups with those categories via the admin interface.
🔧 Features
- Registers a new taxonomy:
Group Category - Adds a metabox to the BuddyBoss Group admin edit screen for assigning categories
- Stores selected terms in group meta, not as taxonomy terms
- Adds an image upload field for each group category
- Adds a custom archive template to display groups in a selected category
- Includes two shortcodes for frontend display
