List of features
It's been busy for a while behind the scenes, and finally sharing FluentCommunity 2.5.0 with you all.
Here's a quick rundown of what's new 👇
-
🔒 Sequential Lesson Lock (Pro) This was probably the most requested course feature in the last few months. Now Lesson 2 stays locked until Lesson 1 is finished, and so on. Great for structured training, certification flows, and any course where the order actually matters. You can turn it on per course, it's not all-or-nothing.
This also connects directly to the bigger conversation we started a few days ago about where the Course module should go next. If you haven't shared your input yet, please do your feedback is literally what shapes our roadmap: 👉 https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/space/community-meta/post/where-should-we-take-courses-next-nee

📱 A much better mobile experience. Mobile got a lot of love this release. The top header and bottom nav now slide away as you scroll down and come back when you scroll up — same feel as a native app. There's a new Scroll-to-Top button across feeds, lessons, and profiles. Safari's URL bar tucks away properly on iPhone now. And right-to-left layouts finally work the way they should.
-
🔔 A smarter Notifications system. Busy communities mean busy notifications, so we made it easier to find what matters. A new Unread tab shows only what you haven't seen. A Recent popover gives you the last 20 at a glance without leaving the page.
-
📅 Post Scheduling for Space admins: Space admins can now set posts to go out later.
-
👤 Courses tab on member profiles You can now see which courses a member is taking right from their profile. Easy way to spot study buddies or get a feel for what people are into.
-
📥 Bulk Import Welcome Email opt-in A small but very useful one. When you bulk import members, you now decide whether they get the WordPress welcome email or not.
Other things you'll notice:
- Copy button on code blocks (perfect for tech and learning communities)
- Clean URLs for non-English communities: Bengali, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, etc.
- You can finally remove a profile or cover photo, not just replace it
- Safer admin Customization page that only saves what you changed
- Stronger login security — errors no longer reveal if a username exists
- A long list of fixes: search modal remembers your results, pinned posts stay pinned, iOS video issues sorted, smoother invite flow, and more
This is amazing!
