Meet FluentCommunity: A Unified Platform for Community & Social Interaction on WordPress!

Whenever WPManageNinja drops a new plugin, you can (always) bet it’s come into existence with one mission: making life easier for the WordPress community.

We’ve done it before with our other products; each of them is powering so many businesses.

Now, we’re back again! This time with a standalone community platform that pulls your entire community together under one roof.

Imagine having everything you need in one dashboard, from chatting, resource sharing, and managing members to doing pretty much everything a social media platform can do. It’s like having your own Facebook… but inside WordPress!

Yup, you heard it right. We’ve made that happen!

Say hello to FluentCommunity, our latest fast, powerful, and lightweight plugin — perfect for building and managing your very own social or community within WordPress. Come, let’s explore more.

How the Idea of FluentCommunity was Born!

At WPManageNinja, we try to empower WordPress users to do more with what they have. We saw the potential of existing community platforms and thought, “Hey, we can make things better!”

Also, we listened to our users, and one thing was clear — they wanted a solution that is more flexible, and lightweight than the existing ones.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting: Ages ago, we built a half-done internal tool to manage our talented team. It was basically in permanent beta mode, but it worked for us!

So, after hearing so many user requests for a community solution, we had an “Aha..!” moment.

We thought if our team was benefiting from it, why not polish it up and share it with the WordPress community? And that’s how the idea of FluentCommunity came to life!
