UsersWP Groups

Sites that run a user community often need a way to split members into smaller spaces. UsersWP Groups provides that. Each group has its own name, description, banner image and rules, so a hobby club, a class or a niche network can have a space that fits it. The interface follows the familiar Facebook groups pattern, which keeps it easy for members to pick up.

Group creators stay in control of how their space runs. They choose the privacy level, decide whether posts publish automatically or wait for approval, and set who may invite new people. Moderators can be assigned to handle posts and flagged content. Because the plugin is an add-on for UsersWP, it fits into the user management setup you already have on the site.

Features

• Custom group creation: Users can create their own groups and set the name, description, banner image and rules, so each community looks and feels distinct.
• Public, private or hidden groups: Three privacy options control who can see a group and who can join it, which suits both open communities and closed ones.
• Post moderation settings: Group owners choose between auto-publishing posts and requiring approval first, which helps keep discussions respectful and on topic.
• Member invite control: Set who can invite new members: only site admins, group owners, moderators, or all members of the group.
• Varied content sharing: Members can post text, links, YouTube videos and images inside a group, which makes discussions more varied than plain text alone.
• Likes, flags and image replies: Posts and comments can be liked and flagged, and members can reply with images. Flagging gives moderators a simple way to spot problem content.
• Assignable moderator roles: Group creators can name moderators to manage posts and flagged content, so the workload does not fall only on the owner.
• Create group links and buttons: A link or button for creating a group can be placed anywhere on the site using simple HTML or a page builder.
