📱 FluentCommunity Integration

Community Sidebar is built specifically as an enhancement for FluentCommunity.

It integrates into the FluentCommunity portal and uses FluentCommunity's community environment for member and Space functionality.

The plugin is intended to complement the existing FluentCommunity experience rather than replace the core community interface.

🛠️ Admin Dashboard

All major modules are organized under a dedicated:

WordPress Admin → Community Sidebar

The plugin provides separate settings areas for:

1. Who to Follow
2. Suggested Spaces
3. Currently Online
4. Topics
5. Quote of the Day
6. Activity Widgets
7. Documentation

Each widget can be configured independently.

📐 Flexible Sidebar Placement

The Activity Widgets module allows administrators to control where promotional media appears.

You can choose:

Top of Sidebar

or
