Gutenberg Block Support in Course and Space Lockscreen

FluentCommunity 2.1.0 gives you complete control over your lock screen content. You can now customize descriptions directly in the Gutenberg editor with unlimited text, making it easier to personalize messages and enhance your community’s experience.

Hook for Default Profile Tab

Use the following filter hook to change the default tab displayed when a user views a community member’s profile.
Hook Name: fluent_community/default_profile_tab_route Usage
Example: Add the following code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:

add_filter( ‘fluent_community/default_profile_tab_route’, function( $default_route ) {

    /**

     * Set the desired default profile tab here.

     * The default value is ” (empty string), which maps to the ‘About’ tab.

     * * Available Options (usually case-sensitive):

     * ”         => About Tab (default)

     * ‘comments’ => Comments Tab

     * ‘spaces’   => Spaces Tab

     * ‘posts’    => Posts Tab

     */

    // Example: This code sets the ‘Spaces’ tab as the default view.

    return ‘spaces’;

});
