Description

The Groups add-on adds to UsersWP a Facebook-style discussion group system, allowing members to create communities with a name, banner, rules, privacy level (public, private, or hidden), and invitation controls. It includes delegated moderation, with owners assigning moderators who approve posts, reject reported content, and define whether publishing is automatic or requires review.

Key Features

  • Customizable groups
    Each group receives a name, description, custom banner, and set of rules visible to members.
  • Three privacy levels
    Configure each group as public, private, or hidden, adjusting who can view and participate.
  • Delegated moderation
    Owners appoint moderators who approve, reject, and manage post reports.
  • Multimedia posts
    Members publish text, links, YouTube videos, and images within the group.
  • Likes and comments
    Reactions to posts and comments, with image support in member replies.
  • Invitation controls
    Define who can invite new members and manage joining the group.

Benefits of Groups

  • Active community on your site
    Keeps users engaged in internal discussions instead of moving to external networks.
  • Content under moderation
    Human filtering with prior approval and reports reduces spam and toxic conversations.
  • Granular privacy by group
    Allows spaces open to the public and areas reserved for invited members on the same site.
  • Distributed management
    Delegating moderation to users themselves reduces the operational workload of the administrative team.

Who Is It For?

  • Community sites, forums, and niche social networks built on UsersWP.
  • Membership portals, clubs, and organizations that want private themed subgroups.
  • Educational, professional, or affinity projects that need moderated discussions among members.

Designed for those who operate online communities in WordPress and seek a group layer with the familiarity of Facebook, this component delivers the content, moderation, and privacy trio directly in the UsersWP dashboard. The combination of multimedia posts, post approval, and reports gives administrators real control over what circulates on the site, without relying on external platforms.
