MEC BuddyBoss Integration Addon connects Modern Events Calendar with BuddyBoss community groups. It is suited to sites where different groups need their own event lists, controlled submission permissions, and event access within member profiles or group areas.

Overview
This addon is a practical fit for community-driven event sites built with Modern Events Calendar and BuddyBoss. It lets administrators connect events with social groups, while members can access events through profiles or group areas and, when permitted, submit events through front-end forms. Group-level permissions are available for all members, organizers and moderators, or organizers only, giving site owners a way to separate broad participation from tighter editorial control. Setup requires more than activating the addon. BuddyBoss, MEC, and enabled Social Groups must already be configured, and front-end submission requires separate WordPress pages containing the documented MEC shortcodes. Site owners should also check whether group visibility matches their intended audience: events associated with private or hidden groups will not appear on public calendars, and logged-out visitors require an additional public-event setting. Test role combinations, group visibility, event assignment, and the submission workflow on staging before deploying.
Assign MEC events to BuddyBoss social groups and manage group-specific event lists.
Allow permitted members to create, edit, or delete events from BuddyBoss group areas.
Provide front-end event submission using MEC list and form shortcodes.
Access events created in user profiles and use a profile menu event entry.
Filter calendars by BuddyBoss group, including inclusion or exclusion of selected groups.
Control whether group events are hidden from general calendar views and whether public-group events can be shown to logged-out visitors.
Display an event preview in the BuddyBoss activity feed when the relevant setting is enabled.
Compatibility and setup context
- Requires Modern Events Calendar Lite or Pro; the documentation lists BuddyBoss as an active platform requirement.
- BuddyBoss Social Groups must be enabled before configuring the integration.
- Front-end submission requires an MEC events-list page with [MEC_fes_list] and an add/edit page with [MEC_fes_form].
- Submission access must be configured both in the global MEC settings and in each relevant BuddyBoss group.
- Private or hidden BuddyBoss groups do not expose their events on public calendars; public visibility needs testing for the intended audience.
- The product page lists premium plans with one year of updates and support, but buyers should confirm current commercial terms before purchase.
