Plus for FCom v1.3.0
v1.3.0 of Plus for FluentCommunity is out, and this is the release I've been building toward.
The analytics got a serious upgrade. What started as basic download tracking is now a full community intelligence platform. Activity tracking logs posts, comments, reactions, logins, space visits, and page views; each toggle independently. Every event can be enriched with geographic data, device type, browser, and OS. You get per-user activity profiles, a filterable full activity feed, and one-click CSV export. It all lives inside your WordPress admin with no third-party scripts involved.
On top of that, referrer tracking now shows you exactly which external sites are sending people to your community. UTM campaign tracking lets you tag your emails, newsletters, and social posts and see precisely which ones are actually working. Both capture guests too, not just logged-in members; so you see the full picture from the moment someone discovers you.
The Online Now Widget is brand new. A live sidebar counter showing who's active right now and who was recently online, with green and yellow dot indicators. Fully configurable; you control the active window, the recently-online cutoff, and how often it refreshes. Guests on public communities see the counter too. They just can't see who's behind it until they join.
It also ships with an optional FOMO mode. You set a min and max range, and the widget adds a randomized bump to the displayed count drawn from your real inactive member pool. To be straight about it; the member list always shows only who's genuinely active. Only the number gets the bump. It's a tool for making a growing community look like what it's becoming. Use it with that in mind.
And for the first time, there's a complete user manual. Every feature, every setting, every default value; documented end to end. Available online and as a downloadable PDF. https://jeffbrigman.com/plus-for-fluentcommunity-user-manual/
This is the version that turns Plus from a nice-to-have into something you'd genuinely miss if it wasn't there. Eight features are completely free to download and use today. Everything above; plus styling controls, webhooks, custom profile fields, Bricks integration, and more; is unlocked with a single license.
If you've been on the fence, this is the one.

On a side note regarding the Online Now widget and FOMO setting. I personally won't be using this, but did for testing purposes only. However the idea came from a group of individuals I was talking to about online communities and how to get people to feel like they were missing out. This is just one of the ideas that I was able to implement now because I had already included online users in the analytics side.
