  • Instaluje sam inne dodatki i pełno widoków PRO

    Jak coś jest pro to po co wyświetla się opcja pusta i zakłóca widok w darmowej. Dodatek sam instaluje inne dodatki na stronie. Jak dla mnie wtyczka nieużyteczna, za wiele pro za mało rzeczy przydatnych. Mogła by być dobra, ale nie lubię czystej komercji z małą próbką bez znaczenia.

  • Great plugin and excellent support

    Great plugin and excellent support I’m very happy with FluentCommunity. It’s a powerful and flexible platform for building an online community and courses, and I’m still discovering everything it can do. I considered Huddle or Kajabi but I am very happy I choose FC. What really stands out is the support. When I recently ran into a technical issue, the helpdesk helped me quickly and patiently, guiding me through the solution step by step. Even as someone who isn’t very technical, I felt well supported. Great plugin, great team and excellent support. Highly recommended!

  • I have tried 300+ plugins and theme packages: Found the best - for me!

    I have tried 300+ plugins and theme packages: Found the best - for me with fluentCommunity! Believe me—and perhaps you’ve had similar experiences—I have tested, installed, and even used countless social platform plugins and theme packages on live sites over the years. Unfortunately, I always ended up discovering a multitude of problems. With fluentCommunity, it is a completely different story—an experience that has been nothing but delightful. EVERYTHING in fluentCommunity works perfectly, and for anything requiring extension or optimization via short code snippets, the documentation provided is the most comprehensive I have ever seen in my decades-long career. Also: Support (ticket/chat) is OUTSTANDING! Everything runs flawlessly, and I am not just "satisfied" but truly RELIEVED that I no longer have to worry about constantly tweaking my platform—unlike with other products I’ve used in the past. Thank you to the entire fluentCommunity team. You are AMAZING! Best regards… Tom.

  • Ultrafast and competent service

    The support team answerd in hours, tracked a bug to the settings of the database tables in the the same time period and suggested a fix that worked.

  • Fluent Community Completely Changed How I Build Membership Websites

    I have been building websites with WordPress for years, and before Fluent Community, I spent an enormous amount of time piecing together different plugins to create memberships, courses, communities, gated content, and everything that goes along with them.An LMS for courses. A membership plugin for access control. Something else for the community. Additional plugins for subscriptions, communication, automation, and whatever functionality the original plugins didn’t quite handle.Anyone who has built a serious membership or course-based WordPress site knows exactly how quickly that turns into plugin hell.Fluent Community changed that for me.I am using it to build an actual private community with multiple membership levels, dedicated spaces, discussions, courses, drip content, workshops, private member areas, and different access levels. It gives me an incredible amount of flexibility without requiring me to stitch together half of WordPress to accomplish it.What makes it even more powerful is how well it works with the rest of the Fluent ecosystem.I use FluentCart for subscriptions and payments, FluentCRM for communication and automation, Fluent Forms for data collection and workflows, Fluent Booking for scheduling, and Fluent Community as the place where the actual member experience happens.Instead of having a collection of unrelated plugins that happen to live on the same WordPress installation, I finally have tools that actually work together.That has saved me an unbelievable amount of time.I have also been able to customize the community extensively. I have created different spaces and access levels, built courses inside the platform, configured drip content, customized the appearance, implemented push notifications, and created an experience that feels like its own platform rather than a generic WordPress membership site.And that last part matters.For years, if you wanted a sophisticated online community or course platform, you either had to rely on an external S
