WOOHOO!!! Post scheduling 😍 thank you Shahjahan Jewel
Natascha Vantuykom Came here to say this!
YESSSS 😍😍 Thank you for default feed sorting feature!!! Shahjahan Jewel
Thx !
Shahjahan Jewel first bug I think...
my timezone is Europe/Brussels and date notation is d/m/Y time is H:i
Natascha Vantuykom Ahh! I see the issue. Will release a hotfix.
Shahjahan Jewel Please, yes #hotfix
Timezone Berlin (Europe)
d.m.Y + H:i
Natascha Vantuykom Patch released to fix this issue: 1.6.01 (the free version)
Shahjahan Jewel tried that, cleared all cache but the error persists
Natascha Vantuykom We will take a look again.
Shahjahan Jewel With version 1.6.02 I got this:
Error
Failed to parse time string (2025-05-13 Invalid Date) at position 11 (I): The timezone could not be found in the database
Natascha Vantuykom Update to the latest version (free) and it will work now. Sorry for the back and forth.
Shahjahan Jewel with version version 1.6.03 same issue 🙁
Natascha Vantuykom I'm still getting the same issue
Bryan William it should work now. Click on the check update.
Natascha Vantuykom My free Version is 1.6.03. Yet still not working. How do i get the hot fix
Natascha Vantuykom DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (2025-05-13 Invalid Date) at position 11 (I): The timezone could not be found in the database
Shahjahan Jewel Version 1.6.03 still has this error
Hoang Hxn it will be fixed tomorrow with another update, just take a chill pill, while you wait for the update
Shahjahan Jewel same issue others have reported and I have most recent versions also.
Great update, but wish you guys would finally roll out quizzes.
Jeff Brigman Yes quizzes please! ... and also appreciate this most recent update
@jeffb they are working on it :) (You can check the status in the roadmap)
Gee Adriaansz lovely! thank you for the roadmap reminder 🙌
Gee Adriaansz I’ve seen that, but they have stated several times they were releasing it soon only to not and then to pretty much ignore folks asking for a real update on it.
NICE!
I dont get any update for FC Pro? 
Kimsoft Media AB Yes, I also have to manually upload via the account page 😏
Hoang Hxn All right... :)
Kimsoft Media AB You can update from the plugins menu now.
Please, when you roll out updates, remember to edit the translation file. I’m now using the Pro versions of:
- Fluent Forms
- Fluent Support
- Fluent CRM
- Fluent Community
Three days ago, I opened ticket #128237 to report several dozen strings that can’t be translated (across all plugins), and this new version of Fluent Community is no exception. On top of the previously reported strings, even more have shown up. Exemple 👇
Thx
David
Post Scheduling 👏👏
I haven’t updated but is there any time zone label or selector when scheduling a post? This is essential to avoid confusion for global communities.
Aaron Liang Shahjahan Jewel Agreed, There Should Be "In Contact Timezone"
Aaron Liang It's on WP Selected Timezone.
Shahjahan Jewel that is fine, but there should be some sort of label or indicator on the front end UI. Otherwise users might assume it’s their local time.
Aaron Liang Added in the latest hotfix release!
Shahjahan Jewel amazing! Will check it out. Thanks for the quick response 👍
Amazing, The Most Awaited Feature "Structural Data SEO Schema & Sitemap Generator" is Finally Ship 😍
Hoang Hxn I getting 404 on that file tho and on rich results test no structured data.
Shahjahan Jewel Seems like another problem when using FC directly in root.
Kimsoft Media AB mine works fine
Hoang Hxn Yeah, i think its becuse i have my community in root of domain define /slug/ - I guess thats why...?
I hope devs can answer it :D I really dont want to change to domain.com/community
Tried to change slug now and it works........
Kimsoft Media AB Yes, I don't use this structure.
wow wow wow wowwow wow... This is amazing amazing amazing. The post schedule and sorting feature is finally out... I looooooooooooooooove this new release
love, love, love the scheduling feature! Thanks so much
Shahjahan Jewel Error does not allow editing of previously posted posts 😉
Hoang Hxn We have released a hotfix 1.6.02 to resolve the issue.
Shahjahan Jewel Yes, It's fixed. There was a very small problem of missing the translation String with these 2 labels 😏
1 - I automatically updated the core plugin.
2- On the front end, a message prompts me to click to update to the Pro version.
3 - I click, but no update is offered.
(I clicked on the “Check for updates” link.)
D@vid Download the plugin directly from wpmanageninja and upload manually
D@vid You can update now.
Shahjahan Jewel
Hi,
I can confirm that the update is now possible.
Thank you.
- Fixed: Digest Email Delivery Issue 😍😍
After update, I cannot edit after post anymore.
1.6.02 has been released to fix the issue. Thanks for reporting.
Congrats.
Shahjahan Jewel Could really use insight into more controlled lockdown of Spaces, with tool like SureMember (and if that needs Surecart to best control access). I know FluentCRM will also allow some automation for handling some aspects - however in a build I'm looking to set up (while I have and love FCRM), it would be without FCRM but does need granualar access control and based upon 'knowing' recurring payments are happening for a user to be able to retain access.
Amazing, this keeps going! thanks! for the good work!
Shahjahan Jewel if I schedule a post and flag the option to send an email it says that it will be delivered in 5 minutes, even if I schedules in 4 days from now. Bug?
Another thing: when I schedule a post it always says schedule in invalide date and invalid time
Tindaro Battaglia We have released a hotfix 1.6.02 to resolve the invalid date time issue.
The email will be broadcast when the post is published. We will fix that in the next version.
Shahjahan Jewel yes for invalid date, but invalid time still persists
Would like anyone to explain "Structural Data SEO" - Becuse i dont find any results in rich results test or https://validator.schema.org/
Have i missed any option or something?
Shahjahan Jewel Yea, i know. I dont get same results. Thats the problem ;p
Kimsoft Media AB it needs to be a single post not the index.
Shahjahan Jewel yes if the slug not are in the root. If You have /forum it works. Both sitemap and single post data.
Amazing, thank you!
Hello, great updates.
Btw Shahjahan Jewel I see mention works here but on my community it doesn't work, how can I fix it?.
Still a problem with scheduling posts (Timezone Europe/Berlin).
Version: 1.6.03 / 1.6.0
Peter Claus Lamprecht
It seems to come from the date format that is generally used only in English-speaking countries.
Peter Claus Lamprecht looks like the issue is with non English date formats. We will review again and release an update tomorrow.
Shahjahan Jewel What about the next subversion?
Are there any news for the european timezone community ninjas? ;-)
Yesss 🥳 New: Default Feed Sorting Select Option for spaces and main timeline
Its a amazing update again and the issue about wrong distance between spaces in menu at custom pages are fixed - thank you :)
Yesss! Thank you! 🙌
fututre data publishing, is that only for admin and mods are all members?
How about the drip feature for the lessons?
I think that the Publications program is great.
I haven't tried it yet but it will certainly be very useful and intuitive.
Love it!
The error is still there...
Can I suggest a feature? I think this is a necessary feature. Users need to be able to follow each other
Kamil Akıncı the most voted feature for months and still not implemented
Thanks for the new features! I'm especially happy with the Post Scheduling Feature!
Loads of great updates thanks!
Can I confirm the sitemap.xml settings? There's nothing that needs to be switched on? If I go to the URL on my site, I can't see the xml file?
Marcus Wareham you'll only get a sitemap if you have public spaces
Jonathan Gwyer I do have public spaces, not all, but some are available prior to logging in.
Marcus Wareham What do you see in Portal Settings, Tools? Mine just worked 😀
(One thought - have you changed the URL of your portal? That seems to cause issues for many)
Jonathan Gwyer that might be the problem. My site is setup for the root, it’s not a subdirectory. I’ll take a look at that. Thanks for the heads up.
Marcus Wareham did you fix it?
mouthguards no! I can’t change the site URL as this is production and changing would result in users having broken links in emails etc. I haven’t had a chance to setup a test site to try yet.
Shahjahan Jewel nice update, but could you guys please look into this? These large posts are horrid to scroll through, especially when there are many new comments each time:
https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/post/add-comments-counter-navigation?comment_id=20501
Excellent update! Thanks! Theme compatibility has also been released but still looking for Translatepress to work with FC. Hope it gets on focus soon.
Just adding a new YT video (DE) by Manuel Müller regarding this v1.6 update so others can see on a screen whats new (especially those who dont have fCommunity PRO).
BTW: I wish the auto dubbing feature to be available for all YT videos but CC are also fine to read and to understand whats was new.
I hope to see more YT videos like this so this community and content creators channels can grow and attract more users, audience and customers.
