Posts in the main feed require that they select a space

There is a setting to allow it in general settings but the user still needs to select to post it on their profile to post to the main feed.

Tony Rockliff your users should be able to choose "post on my profile" (or whatever it is called in english), which means, it's basically posted right to the feed and not in a space

Thanks Jacob. I'll check that out. - Just did, and that setting is enabled, but not working. It says that when enabled they won't have to select a space but unfortunately they do have to select a space.

I've been working with Claude Code with NovaMira to try and fix this, but it's having a hard time. It's done some other great things for me in terms of making FluentCommunity look and work more like Skool. but it's still struggling with this one thing.

I had this same issue on all of my Community sites. If you use a code snippet plugin, I prefer and recommend FluentSnippets, you can copy this code snippet here and paste it in a new snippet and this will solve the issue your having.

What this does is it sets the default posting space to the members profile, and stops them from having to choose a space to post in. They can still click on the words "On my profile" and select a different space if they want to, but with this code snippet, the default posting space is on the members profile.

Here is the link to the code snippet by TribeTools on their GitHub page.

This is the one I used and it's working really good so far.

Thank you, fantastic! David Fore 

Thanks David. I had Claude Code go to your github link and it read it, figured out what to do and did it in a few seconds, and it works beautifully. Thanks so much. :)

Shahjahan Jewel  Since a key idea of FC is to be easier than a forum, can Fluent please remove this friction for users? We need the ability to set a default Space for posts (the user can override if they know enough). But users are not programmers, and they should not have to think about structure in order to make a post. My users are in their 60s and 70s, and they absolutely cannot understand such issues as"you posted wrong" and "choose a space". :-)

Filter hook for default post space selection has been added in v2.5.0

How to test:

1. Add the filter in your theme's functions.php:

   add_filter('fluent_community/create_post_default_space', fn() => '__self__post__');

2. Visit the main Feed page, click the Create Post area — "Posting in" should default to "On my profile"

3. Visit your profile → Posts tab, open Create Post — same default applies

4. Visit a specific space page — no default applied (form is already scoped to that space)

5. Pass an invalid slug — selector stays on "Select Space" (no broken UI)

6. Disable global posting in settings, keep __self__post__ as default — selector stays on "Select Space" (validation rejects it)

Usage Examples:

Default to "On my profile" — for communities where profile posting is primary:

add_filter('fluent_community/create_post_default_space', fn() => '__self__post__');

Default to a specific space  — reduces friction when most posts belong in one place (e.g. a general discussion space):

add_filter('fluent_community/create_post_default_space', fn() => 'general-discussion');

Dynamic default by user role — admins default to an announcements space, regular members to general:

add_filter('fluent_community/create_post_default_space', function() {
    return current_user_can('administrator') ? 'announcements' : 'general';
});

Onboarding flow — guide new members to post in a "Introduce Yourself" space:

add_filter('fluent_community/create_post_default_space', function() {
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    $joinedDaysAgo = (time() - strtotime($user->user_registered)) / DAY_IN_SECONDS;
    return $joinedDaysAgo < 7 ? 'introduce-yourself' : '';
});

Note: Default space selection is used by the space slug; you must know the slug of the default post space selection (the slug of the space can be known in the 'Space Settings' or network tab's get request of the space)
