What it does

Running a community on a hosted platform often means giving up control of your members, content and payment records. This plugin builds the community on your own WordPress site instead, so the data stays with you. It comes ready to use, with social features such as activity feeds, private messaging and secure groups, plus custom member profiles and member types. There are no caps on the number of members, courses, groups, forums or admins you can host.

The plugin fits sites that mix social interaction with courses or paid access. It works with LMS plugins such as LearnDash and LifterLMS to add student dashboards, discussion forums and document management to your courses. It also connects with membership plugins for restricting content, and with tools including WooCommerce, Zoom, Google Analytics, The Events Calendar and YouTube Live. Developers can extend it further through its documented REST API and access to the source code.
