Description

Communities transforms a WordPress installation into a network of independent communities, creating private social spaces with members, forums, and their own activities within the same dashboard. It is aimed at those who manage segmented groups (classes, clubs, internal teams, niche networks) and want to separate content, conversations, and permissions by community without multiplying installations or relying on subdomains.

Main Features of Communities

  • Segmented communities
    Creates independent spaces with members, content, and moderation isolated from each other.
  • Access control by group
    Defines who joins, who invites, and which areas are visible in each community.
  • Member profiles and activity
    Displays profiles, status, and interaction timelines within each space.
  • Centralized management in the dashboard
    Gathers all communities on a single screen to manage permissions and moderation.
  • Integration with the WPMU DEV ecosystem
    Works with other family components to complement social and member flows.

Benefits of Communities

  • Organization by niche
    Keeps each group in its own environment without mixing conversations and content.
  • Fewer installations to maintain
    Concentrates multiple communities in a single WordPress, reducing operational cost.
  • Targeted engagement
    Encourages exchanges within related groups, with more relevance for each member.
  • Simplified moderation

Who Communities Is For
