Fluent Hub (FluentKit)
Just tried it for the first time...
Love it.

Give it a try for a unified Fluent plugins experience
I tried and i found it not helpful but on the contrary, unhelpful and disturbing normal WP admin flow. It was impossible to leave that screen and come back to WP admin. Needed manually with my own hands and fingers write url in the browser in order to escape this place. Fact: its a product that was launched to production by a company that is making tens of millions of $ annually. Very different from what i stand for myself alone and lonely.
Cointacter The way back to the WP admin is practically everywhere (it's in the sidebar: same place it is placed in other WPMN plugins like Fluent Community or custom modes of other ninja plugins).
PS.: it's actually a push sidebar that shows the full Wordpress admin. So you do not even need to change the page. Pretty handy tbh.
Jorge de los Reyes Also at the top of the Menu frame - https://prnt.sc/7OfNyWbcwjb4
Debo Ogunrinde now yes. V1 launched production made me use legs hands and fingers to espace it.
Debo Ogunrinde Thank you Debo! I missed that it was also available there.
Overall, the experience is being so nice.
You should give it a try Cointacter . It would be a pity not to use something created by the team, that works so nicely, just because the alpha/beta versions weren't a perfect match.
But as all of us here, of course, if you prefer custom solutions (like I do myself for many use cases), that's the magic of this ecosystem. That is flexible enough so as everyone can create his own customizations, integrated solutions, etc - and even, make a living of helping people create this custom solutions or selling add-ons taking advantage of the WPMN products success 😄
Jorge de los Reyes youre right but i aint using fcrm, fforms, pretty much only fcom and fcart. Therefore its a distraction for me not help. But its just me, for everybody i understand using fcrm fcart fforms fauth etc all together is nice. Seo and what else is missing to have only big F plugins on their sites? 😀
I like your brain, man, always when reading your sentences it makes me feel youre very smart, whether its meme or long text. No joke keep it up
Cointacter I suspect we tend to recognize in others what we already carry ourselves, mate, so maybe you’re seeing a little of yourself there 😄 Thank you, genuinely.
And yes, if you mainly use FluentCommunity and FluentCart, I completely understand why Fluent Hub may feel like an extra layer rather than something genuinely useful. Its value probably grows with the number of Fluent products you use.
Once you run several of them, though, it starts to make a lot of sense: a cleaner WordPress admin, more consistent navigation, and a smoother experience across the whole ecosystem. It feels almost SaaS-like, while your stack remains self-hosted, flexible, and extensible.
The wider ecosystem also works surprisingly well with AI-assisted workflows. And even though the team is clearly very busy, they keep building genuinely interesting things. So yes, if you’re invested in several Fluent products, it’s a pretty exciting ecosystem to be part of :)
But for your current setup, I completely understand why Fluent Hub doesn’t earn its place yet.
TL;DR - Hated it at first. See a lot of possibility in it now. Especially if you run a lot of Fluent plugins. Or if you build for clients who aren't fans of the WP backend.
Full thought: I tried Fluent Hub/Kit/whatever (can't keep track) in its early days and it was - disrupting to my workflow. I was in very high gear when that first test was taken, so did not have a lot of bandwidth to learn something new. I'm stepping back in to WP development now after some time away. While in the process of updating my Fluent sandbox site I gave Hub another try. And honestly I can see the potential.
Charlotte D I'm curious now about just how awful that first alpha/beta release must have been.
It sounds like quite a few people are still having nightmares about it! 😂
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Charlotte!
Jorge de los Reyes haha - in this case I'm trying to lay the blame at my feet here and not the team
Jorge de los Reyes I think I liked the meme better in French. 🤣 It added a little something something. (Or was that Spanish? 💀)
Charlotte D Haha, it was the Spanish version. 😅 I noticed and changed it almost instantly.
You really do have eagle eyes! 😂
