Is there a way to set the post default to be on the members profile so they don't have to select a specific space from the dropdown menu every time they make a post when on the main news feed?

For example, when a member opens the "Create Post" box, the "Posting in:" will be automatically set to be "On my profile" by default, and if they want to post in a specific space, then they can click on the words "On my profile" to select a different space to post in.

How to set "Global Posting"

Hi everyone,

I’d like to get some insight from those of you running communities with video content.

What solutions are you using (if any) to protect your videos?

Specifically, I’m interested in:

  • DRM or any kind of video protection
  • Screen recording / screen capture protection
  • Dynamic watermarks (e.g., user email, name, etc.)
  • Any third-party services or setups that actually work well with FluentCommunity

Are you implementing any of these, or are you not focusing on protection at all?

Would really appreciate hearing what’s working (and what’s not) in real use cases.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way, or maybe a setting I'm missing, that will automatically sync the new Community Members Profile Information in FluentCommunity with the actual WordPress User information? Including the users profile picture?

This release has the new Admin Notes (premium add-on) feature, includes the much needed i18n support for translations and proper official support for Loco Translate. It also includes a few improvements and fixes. I had intended to release this earlier but got a much needed reminder to finish the translation support from Claudy ScoufyΒ 

I have updated the webpage user manual with the new features (Admin Notes and Translations), and I am working on the PDF version and will have it online later this evening.

I have added some screenshots of the Admin Notes in a comment below. Just for clarity the Crash Test Dummy account was made a mod only after I verified the notes could not be seen and then went back to verify it could be view and the viewed by registered. Hence why it shows in the screenshots.

v1.4.0 (April 18, 2026)
– Added: Admin Notes add-on β€” private staff notes on member profiles with modal UI, tagging, pinning, urgent flags, image attachments, read receipts, watch notifications, viewed-by tracking, audit trail, bulk delete, CSV export, daily digest emails, and access for all FCom community and space admins and moderators.
– Added: i18n support β€” 387 translatable strings wrapped and POT file included for Loco Translate
– Improved: Online Now Widget β€” heartbeat sync ensures members age out correctly when they close their browser.
- Improved: Custom Profile Fields β€” visibility tags so user knows how they are displayed, improved permissions tracking, and more.
– Fixed: Timestamp Format observer rewritten to eliminate infinite loop that froze the feed on some setups.

Just as a reminder, the LTD ends tomorrow at noon (EST). LTD re-opened for 24 hours. (I will be closing it at this price tomorrow 4/22)

I've explained everything visually in this screen recording video:

Since we currently don't have an option to have new members join all Spaces automatically, it would be helpful if at least they could join spaces with a single click.

Hope this makes sense to everyone. Thank you! <3

Introducing Admin Notes β€” the feature I've wanted in every community platform I've ever run.

Private staff notes, right on the member profile. Your whole team stays in the loop without ever leaving the community.

Here's what's packed in:
πŸ“Œ Pin important notes so they're always front and center
🚨 Flag notes as Urgent β€” your entire staff gets an instant email
🏷️ Tag notes to keep things organized
πŸ“Έ Attach screenshots and images directly to notes
πŸ‘οΈ See exactly which staff members have read each note
πŸ”” Watch a member and get notified when new notes are added
πŸ“‹ Full audit trail of every edit and deletion
πŸ—‘οΈ Bulk delete by member, by admin, by date range, or all at once
πŸ“Š Daily digest email so nothing slips through the cracks

Everything your moderation team needs to stay coordinated β€” and none of it visible to your members.

Already a licensed user? The update is being released tomorrow.

⏰ One more thing β€” the Lifetime Deal ends this Sunday at noon EST. After that, it's gone for good and will be an annual license only. If you've been on the fence, this is your sign.

Hi everyone,

When trying to change a user's email address in FluentCommunity β€” either from the admin side or from the user's own profile β€” I get this error:

"Email address already taken by someone else."

The email I'm trying to use is brand new and not associated with any existing account.

The only workaround I found is to change the email directly in the WordPress user account. It works, but it's not a viable solution for my users since I don't give them access to the WordPress backend. I want to keep things simple for them.

I've already submitted a support ticket, but curious if this is a known issue or if someone found a workaround.

Thanks!

Hi there, could anyone tell me how I could translate the last part of the notification emails? This:

"You are getting this email because you are a member of YOURCOMMUNITY

Manage Your Email Notifications Preference."

I can't find this on the translateble files in my Loco, only this:
You are getting this email because you are an admin/moderator at %s

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I just published a new tutorial and thought you'd find it useful.

In this video, I show how I use Claude AI together with FluentBoards to automatically populate a project board with tasks β€” no copy-pasting required.

Just curious, I am creating a brand new Community site with FC and I'm wondering if I should use the FluentAuth plugin with FluentCommunity?

Yea, Nay; why or why not?
