BuddyPress Group Plus is a new plugin that allows you to expand your BuddyPress group pages with more information. It offers two additional/optional fields for your BuddyPress groups:
- New field allows groups to link to an external website
- Ability to add an extra field that you define
Here’s a screenshot of an example of how this would appear on the group creation page:

The information from the new fields is then added to the group’s header:

Group admins are able to edit the details:

The plugin’s settings page allows site administrators to customize the labels for the group fields, as well as enable or disable extra fields:

BuddyPress Group Plus is a great way to add a few more customization options for the groups component. Download it for free from the WordPress plugin repository.

Thanks for the post Sarah, I have completely rewritten the plugin from the ground up. There will be a a lot more features including an optional group tab having a group map, two text fields, two text areas along with two text field for the group header.
Each element is optional and can be customized so I think it will be a great plugin to further the possibilities of bp groups.
Should see a update in the next 48 hours :)
Hi,
Great plugin ! I’d love to see one which enables this kind of options for all BP components. Espcially let you set a Title (and Meta Description) for all BP pages, inclusive the homepage of your site when you choose one of BP pages to be it (for example : choose BP Activity page as your homepage).
Anyway. I get an error message :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_groups_root_slug() in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-plus/admin.php on line 27
Any idea ?
Best Regards
Hi. That error will be because you’re not using BuddyPress 1.5+ (or, if you are, something’s gone horribly wrong. Try deactivating BuddyPress and activating again).
Indeed… That’s because my theme is still not ready for BP 1.5+
I hope it will be very soon !
That sounds great! I’m looking for à group map plugin. Your plugin can be THE solution. When do you think it Will be available. Cheers jack
Whilst reworking the group header meta features, I found a bug that killed the group description – has been sorted and will be in the next update.
Just a heads up for anyone playing around with it.
