5 Months with FluentCommunity – Our Experience

It has now been about five months since we switched to FluentCommunity from another very well-known company, and we really do not regret it.

For years, we struggled with a very slow and frustrating community setup. We were among the early users who purchased the LTD of FluentCommunity and then waited around a year until we were finally able to migrate everything smoothly in November last year.

We did not always agree with some update schedules from the WPManageNinja team, and sometimes support information felt a bit limited, so we had to find some solutions ourselves. But overall, the advantages of FluentCommunity are huge compared to the nightmare we had with the previous plugin and theme.

We also had some issues with the translation of the Native Messaging addon, like others did, but fortunately it is now working well.

What we would still highly appreciate are a few more messaging features, especially:

  • file sharing (not only images)
  • GIF sending

We know there are other options like Better Messages, which is very feature-packed. But as a learning-focused community, we do not need an overly complex messaging system. We mainly need a simple way for members to send files to each other.

That is why we would really appreciate it if WPManageNinja would reconsider adding this feature to the native messaging system, because I believe many users would benefit from it.

BB or SD? We've been waiting quite a while for SD to get some truly significant updates. Sometimes they come, but afterwards I always feel like something's missing.

What's your experience with theme compatibility in FC? That's one of the things holding me back, because even here in the FC community, the leaderboard is set up that way, and it's totally obvious that it's not the same.

PΓ©ter AndrΓ‘siΒ Our community is a separate section of the website, so it should not follow exactly the same structure as the other parts. We simply adapted the CSS to match our overall design and added a few customizations so it blends in well and does not look different from the rest of the website.

Thank you for the feedbacks. I will forward these feature requests for review to the team in the upcoming office day (after our vacation ends).
