Getting Started

FluentCommunity is a WordPress community/forum plugin built on the WPFluent framework. This docs site is generated directly from the checked-out FluentCommunity core and Pro plugin source, so the counts, routes, hook names, and model references match the current code.

What This Site Covers

• Database layer: 21 first-party models mapped to 17 tables and shared tables.
• Hooks: 154 unique action hooks and 229 unique filter hooks found across 510 call sites in the core and Pro app/ and Modules/ trees.
• REST API: 230 registered routes across core and Pro route files.

Development Commands

yarn install
yarn docs:dev
yarn docs:build

Migrations	database/Migrations/
Hooks	do_action(...) and apply_filters(...) calls across the core and Pro source trees

Authentication Notes

FluentCommunity uses WordPress REST infrastructure. In browser-driven portal flows, the plugin typically relies on cookie authentication and nonces. For server-to-server calls, WordPress Application Passwords are the most practical option for routes that are not intentionally public.

REST Client Conventions

• The REST namespace is fluent-community/v2.
• Portal clients in the plugin send PUT/PATCH/DELETE requests as POST requests with the X-HTTP-Method-Override header.
• Space, admin, and portal permission checks are enforced by policy classes first and then by controller-level validation.
