Spaces

Members find your Fluent Community spaces in the app, join them, and open each one’s feed, members and description.

Before you start

Plugin	FluentCommunity 2.12.0 or newer
Endpoint groups	Fluent Community Spaces and Fluent Community Feed
Plan	Every plan

Add it to your app

Drag Spaces onto a navigation bar or into the side drawer. A space opens the Space background feature, and a post inside it opens Community Post — both added for you, with their own settings in the Background zone.

What your members see

Public and private spaces, and secret spaces they belong to. Join adds them to a public space at once; Ask to join sends a request on a private one, which shows as Requested until a space admin decides. A secret space never appears to someone outside it.

A space’s admins see its join requests on the Members tab, with Approve and decline, and can remove members. The same request reaches them on your website too.

Creating and editing spaces stays in Fluent Community’s own admin screens.
