Yes. WP Ghost is compatible with the BuddyBoss Theme and has been tested with the BuddyBoss platform, including its social networking features, community tools, and membership functionalities. One important configuration note: because BuddyBoss relies on the WordPress REST API for various features (especially app-related integrations), leave the REST API path unchanged in WP Ghost settings. The BuddyBoss App specifically has not been tested with WP Ghost, so if you use the app, perform your own compatibility testing before relying on the combination in production.

Important: Keep the REST API Path Unchanged
BuddyBoss relies on the WordPress REST API for various features, especially for app-related functionality and integrations. If you change the REST API path in WP Ghost, remote connections (including those required by the BuddyBoss App) may fail.
The REST API path setting lives at WP Ghost > Change Paths > API Security. Leave the wp-json path at its default value when using BuddyBoss. Other WP Ghost features (path changes for wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes, plugins, themes, firewall, brute force protection, 2FA, and so on) continue working normally, it’s only the REST API path that should remain at its default.
For the full explanation of the REST API path setting, see Change REST API Path with WP Ghost.
