Hi everyone,
I am facing a strange and critical issue with Fluent Forms Pro on my WordPress website, and I need expert advice or guidance if someone has encountered this before.
The Problem:
When users submit our multi-step visa application form and upload mandatory documents (like passports and PDFs), the files briefly hit the local temporary folder (/wp-content/uploads/fluentform/temp/), but some files randomly disappear or go missing right before the final form entry/submission is completed. As a result, the submission comes through, but the attached files show as "Not Found."
What We Have Checked & Ruled Out:
Server PHP Limits: High and optimized (upload_max_filesize = 1024M, memory_limit = 1024M, max_execution_time = 600).
Folder Permissions: The upload directories and permissions (755) are correct.
No External Cloud Storage: We are not using Google Drive or Dropbox integrations; files are meant to save directly to the local server.
Conflicting Code Snippets: All active WooCommerce and custom PHP/JS code snippets have been audited and verified; no syntax errors or restrictive hooks interfering with AJAX requests.
Hosting Environment: Other sites on the exact same server/cPanel account are functioning smoothly without issues.
If anyone has experienced this file-dropping behavior in Fluent Forms or knows what might be purging these temporary uploads during the AJAX request cycle, please let me know. Any suggestions or debugging tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
I've just launched SpaceBuddy, a free hub for my add-ons for FlunetCommunity. SpaceBuddy gives you one dashboard to discover, install and update my add-on Packs. Three Packs are available today, with more already visible as Coming Soon on the dashboard.
To get started, download for free, install and activate the license (required to control access to the packs and updates).
IconPack β a browsable library of 1,200+ icons, that you can easily access inside FluentCommunity's own portal/admin area
- Easily select icons when adding or editing Spaces, Courses, and Links without leaving the screen
- Outline and bold styles, copy any icon as clean inline SVG (no more emojis)
- Everything bundled β zero CDN calls, nothing loads from anyone else's server
PWAPack β turns your community into an installable app.
- Full web app manifest with icons at every size browsers and iOS actually ask for (maskable included)
- Offline page and smart caching - works for community-only or full-website if required
- Install banner, an install card in the community menu, and a step-by-step guide for iPhone, iPad and non-Chromium Android browsers
- App colours that follow your community's light and dark modes
- Options to customise the text and messages
PushPack β real web Push Notifications, no third-party provider, no fees.
- Posts, comments, @mentions, thread replies, reactions, new followers (FC Pro) and DMs
- Notifications are encrypted, direct from your website to each member's browser
- Member opt-in card in the menu plus opt in/out options in the Members notification settings page
- iOS iPhone and iPad are supported through the installed PWA App β either use PWAPack or FluentCommunity's own PWA
Compatibility with FluentCommunity 2.8 and its PWA β yes, I know how the timing looks, and I'll probably get some flack for it π but I've been using PWAPack and PushPack on my own site for a while. Alongside the manifest, PWAPack uses a service worker which allows better offline support and caching, and it's what allows Push Notifications to work. The text and messages are all customisable and translatable too. PWAPack will check if FC's PWA is active and show a warning, as they would both try to provide the PWA app. An honest comment, if you prefer FC's PWA, my PushPack will happily deliver push notifications through it, so just use whichever suits you π
Everything is translatable and should work as expected, I spend a lot of time testing by hand, on real sites, real phones and real members, before shipping (no AI slop!). I will always offer support for all my products (free or paid), so if you spot any errors or have any issues, please tell me and I'll fix it asap.
Some screenshots, more available on my website - full docs coming soon.

![]()

is it possibile, when clicking on the notification bell, to show by default unread first?
Hi there, could you tell me how I can translate these strings? (Loco can't find them, even after synchronization.) Thanks!
Hi! Just to confirm, it's not possible to program a random order for the answers, correct?
Hi everyone, Iβm building a custom app on top of FluentCommunity using Fluent Messaging.
Is there a supported way to open the floating chat widget directly to a specific userβs conversation from my custom UI?
For example: user taps a memberβs avatar β floating chat opens with that member, without navigating to the full /chat/?user_id= page.
If not currently supported, could this be added as a JavaScript API or event?
Please fix this issue.
In some Communities it might be good to have hidden Members, for the extra bit of security. Or for Test-Accounts you don't want to show in the Member-Directory.
There could be additional settings like "not shown in Member-Directory", not able to send or receive messages (or depending on other users type), etc.
How can I stop a specific user from joining a public Space?
At the moment, there doesnβt appear to be any member management for public Spaces that lets an admin prevent or remove a user from joining while keeping the Space publicly visible.
Good afternoon all. :)
I'm curious if anyone here has found a way to filter community members by whether they have posted or commented since joining and then be able to use that filter in Fluent CRM? (Shahjahan Jewel)
With any community, engagement is its life blood and we all have members who join but never get involved.
I'd love to be able to use FCRM to try and get those engaged and if they don't, have an automation or other method of potentially tagging and/or removing them from the community/WordPress.
Does this currently exist and I'm missing it or is it a feature that would be useful for others running communities with FC & FCRM?
