A room for every conversation
Organise discussions into channels. Give your people a clear place to start.
Members start the conversation
Signed-in members submit topics from the front page. Editors approve them before publication.
Replies, not a shout into the void
Threaded WordPress replies keep the conversation together. Member replies are held for review.
Set the tone. Keep the room safe.
Pin useful topics and lock new replies when a discussion has run its course.
Find the thread you came for
Search discussions, filter by channel, or sort by newest and most discussed. Pinned topics stay first.
A community you actually own
Discussions, channels, and replies stay in your WordPress database. No external community platform required.
Install. Make it yours. Invite your people.
Upload the solution package under Plugins → Add New and activate the setup plugin. Open its Tools menu, review the changes and run setup. Then replace sample content with your own channels and discussions.
The alpha uses PHP templates with theme.json settings for the block editor, not full Site Editor templates. Requires WordPress 6.4+, PHP 8.0+, a single-site installation and direct filesystem access. Sample content is optional during setup.
Read the manual component guide ↗Familiar community patterns. A place of your own.

Start with a focused niche and useful contributions. The solution supplies the starting point; an active community comes from you.
