Default Profile Posting
Assuming Profile Posting is enabled, users should be able to post directly to their profile without first having to select “Posting in: Select Space”.
At the moment, it feels unnecessarily long-winded and slightly confusing.
Could the “Select Space” option be hidden by default? If a user has joined one or more spaces, they could then have a dropdown allowing them to choose a space. Otherwise, the post would simply be published to their profile.
Yes, Profile Posting should be by default.

David Freeman I created this, but not tested on the latest FC https://github.com/tribeToolspro/tt-default-post-space — also see this Post https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/space/community-meta/post/make-feed-behave-as-a-standalone-space
David Churchill Yes, yours is the one I've been using and it's still working in the latest FC.
David Fore great, thanks for confirming 👍
David Churchill I confirm, the snippet works without worries :) Thank you for sharing!

Shahjahan Jewel what do you think of this ?
David Freeman You can implement your use case through a custom snippet.
I am attaching a snippet URL below. You need to add it through any snippet plugin like FluentSnippet.

Nayan Das This code did not work for me (it asks to select a space, with 'on my profile' being the only option, and does not hide the space selector)
However, this code works, but only sets 'on my profile' by default:
add_filter('fluent_community/create_post_default_space', fn() => 'self__post');
Marek Add (in addition to the provided code https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/post/posts-in-the-main-feed-require-that-they?comment_id=54526) some CSS code to hide the selector, see 👇
Claudy Scoufy If you hide the selector with CSS, how will you be able to select a space to post in? The goal is to have it hidden only for the users who haven't joined any space yet.
Marek It really depends on the objective. Personally, I no longer wanted a selector in the feed (which is equivalent to posting "on my profile"). For the spaces, users go to the desired space and then post. This is simpler for my members...
Claudy Scoufy I agree — the whole “select a space” step should be dropped for a better UX:
- If you’re viewing the feed or profile, the post goes to your profile.
- If you’re viewing a space, the post goes to that space — simply choose a topic.
- No need for a space dropdown when creating a post.
It would make posting much more intuitive and remove an unnecessary step.
Maybe a backend toggle which gives admins the choice (keep everyone happy)
David Freeman I love this -
- If you’re viewing the feed or profile, the post goes to your profile.
- If you’re viewing a space, the post goes to that space — simply choose a topic.
- No need for a space dropdown when creating a post.
Possible on next update please? 🖤
