    I would like to allow users to be able to create Blogs on my site.
    I have searched everywhere and unable to figure out how to accomplish this from front end.
    I did find this plugin: https://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/
    Is that the only/best option for blogs from front end?

    So no responses, does that indicate I should not use that plugin, or is there a better option?

    There are many options to do frontend posting a quick search on wp plugins returned a few.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/frontend+posting/

    Other options I seen used and used myself are Gravity Forms and Advanced Custom Fields to have frontend post forms for loggedin users but it depends I guess on how you far you want to take the integration with BP.

    BuddyBlog is likely the best option to get started with in that its made for BP.

    Hi Nahum,
    Thank you for you reply.
    My only concern about BuddyBlog is that it is not available for download from WordPress.org, I was always told not to trust any plugin not hosted on WordPress.org There might be a good reason why WordPress.org admins don’t allow it to be hosted there (unsafe? Back door? etc..)
    Anybody knows why BuddyBlog is not available on WordPress.org?

    BuddyDev is a great and trusted resource for plugins and code snippets for BuddyPress.
