I thought FluentPlayer Pro was supposed to be released at the end of March. It's almost May and haven't heard anything about it yet. Waiting list is still up at https://fluentplayer.com.

We are still waiting for native audio player support in Fluent Community and was hoping that FluentPlayer would solve this.

Any updates?

I have FluentTablesPro and FluentFormsPro and work through them just fine. I wanted to purchase FluentCommunity but it doesn't create a homepage so no one can join. It doesn't list groups, it doesn't interface with FluentCRM and list members, it doesn't give sample or demos I can modify. At least BuddyPress gets you halfway there and you can figure out the rest, FluentCommunity...it just doesn't guide you along. Is this normal when I download the free plugin for testing?

My first project for Fluentcart, for the past 2 weeks I have been working on this, since I am using fluentcart.

FluentCart Mpaddi-Style Reviews is a modern, mobile-first customer review system designed specifically for FluentCart-powered eCommerce stores. Inspired by the engaging and highly visual review experience, this plugin transforms traditional product reviews into an interactive, and conversion-focused component.

It enables customers to leave detailed feedback with star ratings, while giving store owners powerful moderation tools and real-time insights through a REST API-driven architecture.

Hello FC Team,

Is there any timeline for when we can expect a standard drip content feature for courses in Fluent Community?

At the moment, it’s only possible to set time-based restrictions, where modules are unlocked on specific days. However, I need a setup where users cannot access the next lesson before completing the previous one.

My courses are often structured in a way that each lesson builds on the previous one. If someone skips a lesson, it can easily create confusion and may even lead them to drop out entirely.

Additionally, the current scheduling options only apply to modules, not individual lessons.

These are quite essential features for a course platform, so I’m a bit surprised they’ve taken this long to implement.

Or is it possible that I’ve misunderstood something, and this functionality is already available? If so, I would really appreciate any guidance on how to set it up. 🙂

Thank you!

There's a lot of untranslated labels in the community. Our (WordPress) language is set to Dutch, but some labels are still in English. Especially in the Chat/Messages addon.

How can we make the profile photos of community members clickable to enlarge it? The profile pic is rather tiny at the moment.

Hello everyone,

I built a WordPress plugin to connect Claude Desktop directly to FluentCommunity, over the MCP protocol.

What it does

Once installed and configured, Claude sees your FC installation as a set of tools. The plugin exposes 28 capabilities, each of which can be toggled on or off individually from the settings page.

Examples:
Type to Claude:

• "Connect to FluentCommunity, look at course XXX and tell me if it needs updating."
• "Connect to FluentCommunity, create a course about building the Eiffel Tower. No more than 3 or 4 lessons, no technical jargon, high-school level, and remember to mark the spots where an illustration should be inserted."

You get the idea. Claude becomes the assistant that saves you a lot, a lot, a lot of time.

In detail, Fcom AI Connect lets Claude:

Courses

• List courses
• Get a course's details
• Get a course by its slug
• Create a new course
• Update a course
• Duplicate a course

Sections

• List the sections of a course
• Get a section's details
• Create a new section
• Update a section
• Copy a section into another course
• Reorder sections

Lessons

• List the lessons of a course or section
• Get a lesson's details
• Create a new lesson
• Update a lesson
• Move a lesson into another section
• Reorder lessons

Quizzes

• Create a quiz on a lesson
• Update a quiz's questions and answers
• Update a quiz's settings
• List student submissions for a quiz
• Get the details of a submission
• Manually update a submission
• Export quiz results as CSV

Students

• List a course's enrolled students
• Enroll a student in a course
• Unenroll a student

Ready for international use

The plugin is fully internationalized. It ships with five built-in locales in addition to English: French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese (Brazil). Further languages can be added via .po files.

What Fcom AI Connect does not do (on purpose)

A few limits, chosen rather than suffered.

No deletion.
Deletion, for example of a course, is not possible. Only the admin retains that power.

No access to WordPress itself.
No managing posts, pages, media, plugins or themes. The AI stays inside the FluentCommunity perimeter.

No destructive actions by default.
Anything that is hard to reverse is blocked unless explicitly enabled in the settings. One switch per operation, that you flip on if you need it.

No access to human identity.
Claude runs under a dedicated bot account (fcom-aic-bot), created at install time, with only the capabilities it needs. It cannot log in interactively, and its account cannot be used to reach the WordPress admin.

Tech stack (for those who care)

• Protocol: MCP Streamable HTTP (Anthropic's official spec)
• Authentication: Bearer token, one per configured AI provider
• Key encryption: libsodium (XSalsa20-Poly1305), key derived from your AUTH_KEY / AUTH_SALT
• Audit log: dedicated table, every line signed with HMAC
• Updates: Ed25519 signature verified before install

1-year license: €59 instead of €89
Lifetime license: €159 (limited-time offer)

Questions welcome. 😉

I’m exploring how to onboard an external group (e.g., a local community of professionals that meet in person) into a private space within my platform, and I’m trying to better understand the real value from the member’s perspective.

If you’ve done this, I’d love to learn:

• How are members actually using the private space day-to-day?
• What makes it compelling enough for them to engage beyond in-person events or Slack?
• What kind of content or interactions work best (discussions, resources, events, etc.)?
• How do you position/market the value of the private space to the group?
• What outcomes have you seen (engagement, retention, collaboration)?

I’m especially interested in real examples or use cases that will help me frame the value prop and actual use case that will benefit the users.

Appreciate any insights you can share, thanks in advance.

I am building forms with fluentforms and have made an android-app to load the website via webview.

The page where the forms are is loaded correctly. However, the form can not be interacted with or submitted. The logic is broken somehow and I have no idea why.

Do anyone have experience with webview and forms in this way?

Cheers!
Gabe

Hi everyone,

One of my members has been running into issues with receiving email (FluentSMTP shows successful delivery, but they're just not getting the email). I'd like to be able to provide a temporary password for them to use for the time being, but then direct them to a place in the profile/account section to set their own.

1) It seems like that's not currently an option—has anyone been able to implement password change after the user logs in so we're not so dependent on email?

2) The issue seems to be with Hotmail... what is the best practice for sorting out an issue like this, where email seems to work properly on our end but the user's account appears to be doing some heavy filtering.
