Release notes / Shortcodes for BuddyPress Pro
BuddyPress Add-on Plugin

Shortcodes for BuddyPress Pro

Elementor page builders have no native BuddyPress widgets, forcing community managers to work around the editor or write custom code. Shortcodes for BuddyPress Pro adds Elementor widgets for the BuddyPress activity stream, member directory, and group directory alongside the full shortcode library from the free version. Configure each widget from the Elementor panel without touching code.
