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 plugin under Plugins → Add New, then upload the theme under Appearance → Themes. Activate both. Set your site name and tagline in WordPress Settings and add your first channels and discussions.
This is a classic WordPress theme using the standard editor, not a full-site-editing block theme. Requires WordPress 6.4 or later and PHP 8.0 or later. The Playground demo includes fictional sample content; the downloads start clean.
Read the installation guide ↗Familiar community patterns. A place of your own.
