Wanted to make sure I'm understanding the current functionality of Fluent Community with respect to comments and replies...

  1. In the feed, the visible comment under a post is always the most recent comment.
  2. Replies don't show as visible under the post even if they're more recent than any comment. So the most recent comment is always what shows under the post, even when there are newer replies beneath an older comment.
  3. With Modal UI for quick posts enabled, the modal also activates for viewing comments (by clicking the comment icon or comment count under the post). However, clicking on replies expands the post in the feed and does NOT trigger the modal.

This is functionality I have observed to be true and just wanted to make sure that the above is accurate and intentional as to how FC functions?

Shahjahan, first let me say this plugin is like an answer to prayer. Or actually, it will be when complete.

Fluent Kit only read CRM and Forms. I really need it to interface/integrate with SMTP, Auth, and my subscription to Community. Did I do something wrong? I have subscribed to Community and Forms to date. I've activated the free CRM. But I have so many more of your plugins that I intend to use which are on my computer already, though mostly unactivated.

Is this by design, a shortcoming, or my error.

Thanks,

Steve

After a long development and review process, Clever Linked Terms (aka Linked Terms) has officially been approved and released in the WordPress plugin repository.

Clever Linked Terms is a modern glossary and intelligent internal linking plugin built for both traditional WordPress sites and FluentCommunity-powered communities.

βœ… Works with the FREE version of FluentCommunity
βœ… Includes premium-style features completely free
βœ… Built specifically to support modern SPA/community environments

Features include:

β€’ Automatic glossary linking
β€’ Hover tooltips
β€’ Searchable A–Z glossary index
β€’ Intelligent term discovery
β€’ Analytics & engagement tracking
β€’ FluentCommunity integration
β€’ SPA-aware frontend support
β€’ Modular add-ons and API integrations

One of the biggest goals behind this plugin was solving glossary linking properly inside modern Vue/SPA community environments where many traditional glossary plugins fail.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped test the builds, reported bugs, and gave feedback during development. This is just v1.0.0 and it will only continue to grow and improve.

You can now install it directly from your WordPress dashboard or download it here:

Clever Linked Terms on WordPress.org

More updates and features are already planned. πŸ™‚

I would like to have @mentioning function in chat. Can dev team consider this feature?

Disclaimer: This may not be important enough for many FC users. But I'm just checking the possibility. I mean, if it's easy to implement for the FC team without any consequences.
Currently, all usernames appear in lowercase. However, I'd love to see them mixed-case, like it's on X (Twitter). TIA! πŸ’šβœ¨

Example: @mixedcaseusername vs @MixedCaseUsername

[It just looks visually appealing.]

My use case is simple: within the lesson, I'd have an engagement form, something like "Write down the top 3 priorities you need to implement next." A simple text box would suffice.

Upon completing the course, the student will receive all their responses.

Hi.. I have a general stupid question. Whats the best SEO approach for setting up Fluentcommunity site structure and get best results?

Note: this is for a local site. not necessary for courses (spaces), it will include Activity Feed, Members, and a few Spaces, one Space will be called Announcements (local events, news, etc). The goal is to create a Twitter like experience and shift away form big tech platforms..

For example a community site for a small town neighborhood. Is it wise to use a dedicated blog on the homepage for SEO, or depend on just the "Space" posts? The site Admin will be posting daily and we are trying to understand best way to achieve seo results. IMO I dislike the long url link "portal/space"

  • neighborhood.com/blog

    • neighborhood.com/todays-announcements-sunday-may-17-2026/
  • neighborhood.com/portal/space/announcements/post/today-s-announcements-sunday-may-17-2

SEO, Best Practice..?
