A Few Announcement & 1.3.x Release Overview

Shahjahan Jewel Course editor is working fine, It would be great if there is a "Toggle Sidebar" option of Course editor it would give more space when editing

Shahjahan Jewel In addition, many blocks of Core Block do not display Vietnamese and some blocks display Vietnamese. I do not know why?

Love the secret feature!

Awesome update and overview video. The new posts counter is brilliant. Will definitely help engagement in communities with a lot of groups. Looking forward to the documentation of these new hooks :)

Amazing update!

Loading editor. Please wait....

Love it :-)

Oh I see the secret feature now, amazing! :D So we can mark my request as launched in Roadmap: https://community.wpmanageninja.com/fluentcommunity-roadmp/#/idea/816/

You guys are literally the best! <3

Great update Shahjahan Jewel and team! 🤩

Thank you for all the hard work, you created a fantastic product !!!! <3

There's another minor feature not mentioned, hovering over how long ago a post or comment was made will trigger a popup with the actual date and time it was made. It's a little ugly with the generic timestamp but definitely better than nothing at all and not knowing when it's been months since it was made.

I decided to do a little tinkering with it and made a javacript snippet you can add under settings -> custom -> javascript that will make it display as something more like this: April 10, 2025 @ 2:05pm

I'm pasting it below, if you notice anywhere it doesn't work let me know and I'll look at what additional class needs to be targeted. You will need to add script tags around it.

  // Function to format the timestamp from the title attribute
  function formatTitleTimestamp(elem) {
    // Get the timestamp string from the title attribute
    var ts = elem.getAttribute("title");
    if (!ts) return;

    // Expect the format: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
    var parts = ts.split(" ");
    if (parts.length !== 2) return;
    var dateParts = parts[0].split("-");
    var timeParts = parts[1].split(":");
    if (dateParts.length !== 3 || timeParts.length !== 3) return;

    // Parse the parts into numbers
    var year = parseInt(dateParts[0], 10);
    var month = parseInt(dateParts[1], 10) - 1; // JS months are 0-indexed
    var day = parseInt(dateParts[2], 10);
    var hours = parseInt(timeParts[0], 10);
    var minutes = parseInt(timeParts[1], 10);

    // Create a Date object
    var dateObj = new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes);

    // Array of month names for friendly output
    var monthNames = [
      "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
      "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
    ];

    // Convert hours to 12-hour format with AM/PM
    var currentHours = dateObj.getHours();
    var ampm = currentHours >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';
    var formattedHours = currentHours % 12;
    if (formattedHours === 0) formattedHours = 12;

    // Format minutes as always two digits
    var formattedMinutes = dateObj.getMinutes();
    formattedMinutes = formattedMinutes < 10 ? "0" + formattedMinutes : formattedMinutes;

    // Build the new friendly timestamp string
    var friendly = monthNames[dateObj.getMonth()] + " " +
                   dateObj.getDate() + ", " +
                   dateObj.getFullYear() + " @ " +
                   formattedHours + ":" + formattedMinutes + ampm;

    // Update the title attribute with the new formatted string and mark this element as processed
    elem.setAttribute("title", friendly);
    elem.classList.add("formatted");
  }

  // Function to process elements with the timestamp classes that have not been formatted yet
  function processTimestampElements() {
    // Select elements with either class that have a title attribute and are not yet formatted
    var elements = document.querySelectorAll(
      '.feed_timestamp[title]:not(.formatted), .comment_text_head_time[title]:not(.formatted)'
    );
    elements.forEach(function(elem) {
      formatTitleTimestamp(elem);
    });
  }

  // When the DOM is loaded, process existing elements and set up MutationObserver for dynamically added ones
  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    // Process elements already in the DOM
    processTimestampElements();

    // Create a MutationObserver to monitor for added nodes
    var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutationsList) {
      mutationsList.forEach(function(mutation) {
        mutation.addedNodes.forEach(function(node) {
          if (node.nodeType === Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
            // If the added node itself matches our selectors, process it
            if (node.matches('.feed_timestamp[title]:not(.formatted), .comment_text_head_time[title]:not(.formatted)')) {
              formatTitleTimestamp(node);
            }
            // Also check any descendant elements of the added node
            var descendants = node.querySelectorAll('.feed_timestamp[title]:not(.formatted), .comment_text_head_time[title]:not(.formatted)');
            descendants.forEach(function(descendant) {
              formatTitleTimestamp(descendant);
            });
          }
        });
      });
    });

    // Start observing the document body for changes
    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
  });

In course lesson, the Image Block doesn't show anything. In editing mode picture from the media library is displayed, but not for users after publications.

P.S. Not display on desktop, but for mobile browser all ok

Thanks for your good work but it that's only half the battle. I can‘t embed the community plugin seriously in my Website. Every page of my site has a header with menu, only the Fluent Community plugin is encapsulated and sealed off the whole site. Is it possibly to allow a header with menu above the plugin output?

Meanwhile, does this work with the shortcodes so I can embed fluent forms quizzes right?

Great, thank you for the good job done

Shahjahan Jewel Admittedly, after this update, the editor started working for me, but it loads VERY slowly (around 20-30 seconds, sometimes even longer). This is quite frustrating...

Additionally, when do you plan to enable embedding tools from the Fluent family? It's somewhat inconvenient when you're creating an ecosystem that can't be fully utilized. I can't embed Booking, Boards, or Forms. I was somewhat hoping that, along with the Gutenberg editor, there would at least be the option to use shortcodes for YOUR tools...

Thats awesome!! Thanks. I bought fluent community a few days ago, now I have fluent CRM and community, Im going to migrate from tutor LMS to the fluent community my own LMS, Ill see how everything goes!! Realy hyped about this new change.

Comment @ emails still not working for me. Anyone else? cc Shahjahan Jewel 

Now what is this FluentCart thing in the video? I already want it now.

With the one to one messaging setting - would it be possible to add a tag option, so only paid members can initiate conversations (and mods/admins), so it would stop any spamming possibilities from free members, but still allow the community, to communicate independently

By default can the admin emails for post notifications be on?

Shahjahan Jewel thank you very much, one remark, when using the blocks, the theme color does not reflect the community color settings, nor the WP global color settings. Is there a way to sync those?

Shahjahan Jewel - you mentioned that you would add more info about new webhooks - is it pulblished somewhere?

Shahjahan Jewel Hope there is a Duplication lesson option, I usually create a standard lesson template and Duplication 🙏

Shahjahan Jewel is there any news about course re-arrangement please? (not sorting to view)

Option to change the order of the courses. Right now they still show in order of creation by default.

So if I have Course 2023, 2024, 2025 and create them in this order, I would need to change this in the database or somewhere to show by default as 2025, 2024, 2023 to make sure the latest is the new and the rest if for older students.
