Migration guide

Migrate from BuddyBoss to Mobieus

BuddyBoss means a WordPress stack you patch yourself. Here is how to put members, groups, forums, and courses into one hosted suite.

Why teams move

BuddyBoss is WordPress with a community bolted on. That is a lot to maintain.

The stack never stops updating

WordPress core, the community plugin, an LMS plugin, a theme, and your host all patch on their own schedule. Mobieus is hosted and maintained.

Plugins fight each other

Every add-on is a conflict waiting to happen. Mobieus ships forums, courses, chat, and a help desk as one tested suite.

Costs that stack up

Hosting plus plugins plus a help desk plus a course tool. Mobieus folds them into one plan at a 0% sales fee.

The runbook

Six steps from BuddyBoss to live on Mobieus.

1

Export WordPress data

Pull users and content out of WordPress and BuddyBoss.

2

Map groups to spaces

Decide which groups become spaces, forums, courses, or support workflows.

3

Move members

Members reset passwords on first login or use mobieusID single sign-on.

4

Migrate media

Bring attachments and uploads into the Mobieus file library.

5

Rebuild memberships

Map paid memberships to mobieusGate on your own Stripe at a 0% fee.

6

Drop the maintenance

Decommission the plugins and hosting. Updates, security, and uptime are now ours.

What you gain

One suite instead of a stack.

Forums + live chat

Threaded discussion and real-time chat as the core, on your own domain and branding.

Courses that finish

mobieusLearn lessons, quizzes, certificates, drip, and cohorts. Sell them on your own Stripe.

A real help desk

mobieusHelp tickets, SLAs, and canned replies. Support that does not vanish into a feed.

Payments at 0% fee

Direct Stripe for memberships, courses, and products. Mobieus never takes a cut of your revenue.

Market + knowledge base

mobieusMarket listings and a moderated knowledge base your members build together.

One login, one bill

mobieusID single sign-on across everything. Replace four subscriptions with one suite.

Questions

Before you move.

Do I keep my members and content?

Yes. WordPress users and content export, and groups map to spaces and forums in Mobieus.

What about my LMS plugin courses?

Courses rebuild in mobieusLearn, with SCORM import where available and Open Badge certificates.

Will I still manage a server?

No. Mobieus is fully hosted, so the patching, scaling, and security move off your plate.
