About the Plugin

Community Sidebar is a powerful enhancement for FluentCommunity that adds a collection of useful, engaging, and highly customizable sidebar widgets to your community portal.

Instead of leaving your FluentCommunity sidebar underused, the plugin turns it into a place where members can discover people, find new spaces, see who’s online, explore topics, interact with motivational content, and view promotional or featured media.

The plugin includes six major sidebar modules:

👥 Who to Follow
🏠 Suggested Spaces
🟢 Currently Online
#️⃣ Topics
✨ Quote of the Day
🖼️ Activity Widgets — Image Slider & Featured Video

Each module has its own settings and can be enabled, disabled, and customized independently.

Interactions such as following members, joining spaces, browsing content, loading members, and navigating widgets are designed to work dynamically without requiring full-page reloads.

Featured Spaces
Official community spaces
Paid/private communities

Featured content appears before dynamically selected recommendations.

🚫 Excluded Spaces

Not every Space needs to appear in recommendations.

Administrators can exclude specific Spaces from Suggested Spaces so that certain communities never appear in the recommendation pool.

This is useful for:

Administrative Spaces
Staff-only Spaces
Private internal Spaces
Archived Spaces
Testing Spaces
Spaces that should not be promoted

📱 FluentCommunity Integration

Community Sidebar is built specifically as an enhancement for FluentCommunity.

It integrates into the FluentCommunity portal and uses FluentCommunity’s community environment for member and Space functionality.

The plugin is intended to complement the existing FluentCommunity experience rather than replace the core community interface.

🛠️ Admin Dashboard

All major modules are organized under a dedicated:

WordPress Admin → Community Sidebar

The plugin provides separate settings areas for:

Who to Follow
Suggested Spaces
Currently Online
Topics
Quote of the Day
Activity Widgets
Documentation

Each widget can be configured independently.

📐 Flexible Sidebar Placement

The Activity Widgets module allows administrators to control where promotional media appears.

You can choose:

Top of Sidebar

Bottom of Sidebar

You can also control whether the Image Slider or Featured Video appears first.

This gives community owners greater control over the visual hierarchy of their sidebar.
