It runs on your own WordPress site, so your members, your content and your data stay with you.<\/p>\n\n No page builder is needed. SpaceBay brings its own community portal and fits any theme.<\/p>\n\n Plugin page<\/a> | Documentation<\/a> | Support<\/a><\/p>\n\n SpaceBay is built for makers, clubs, schools, creators and small teams who want an online community they own:<\/p>\n\n Create a space for every topic, team or interest. Each space has its own feed and its own members. Members join the spaces they care about and see those posts in one place.<\/p>\n\n Give members a reason to come back. Members earn points for posts, comments, likes and events.<\/p>\n\n Everything lives under one WordPress menu.<\/p>\n\n SpaceBay Pro is a separate add-on for bigger communities. The free plugin works fully on its own. If you deactivate Pro, your data stays.<\/p>\n\n Learn more about SpaceBay Pro<\/a><\/p>\n\n The community portal and the admin screens are Vue 3 apps. Their full, readable source code is included in this plugin, in the To build them yourself, use Node.js 20 or later and run these commands in the plugin folder:<\/p>\n\n The portal and admin screens are built with Vue<\/a>, Vue Router<\/a> and Pinia<\/a>, all under the MIT license. Their license notices are kept in the built files. Interface icons are from Phosphor Icons (MIT), https:\/\/phosphoricons.com. Illustrations and the SpaceBay mark are made for SpaceBay and are GPL-licensed with the plugin.<\/p>\n\n SpaceBay works without any external service. The features below are optional and only contact a third party when you turn them on.<\/p>\n\n If you turn on Google login and add your own Google app credentials, members who choose \"Log in with Google\" are sent to Google to sign in. Google then returns the member's basic profile data (such as name, email address and profile photo) to your site. No data is sent to Google until a member chooses this login.<\/p>\n\n If you turn on Facebook login and add your own Facebook app credentials, members who choose \"Log in with Facebook\" are sent to Facebook to sign in. Facebook then returns the member's basic profile data (such as name, email address and profile photo) to your site. No data is sent to Facebook until a member chooses this login.<\/p>\n\n When a member adds a link to a post, your site requests that web page to read its title, description and image for the preview. The website being linked to receives a request from your server. Previews need the PHP cURL extension and a direct connection: when your site sends its requests through a proxy, no previews are fetched.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. SpaceBay is free and includes spaces, the activity feed, private messages, group chat, events, profiles, the member directory, points, levels, badges, the leaderboard, notifications and moderation. SpaceBay Pro is an optional add-on for extra tools.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. SpaceBay brings its own community portal. You can show it as a full-page app or as a page inside your current theme.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Under Settings > Posts and uploads<\/strong> you set the longest post (500 to 50,000 characters, 20,000 by default) and the longest comment (200 to 10,000, 5,000 by default). If you lower a limit, older long posts stay as they are and can still be edited to be shorter. Developers can change the limits with the Yes. SpaceBay limits login attempts for each visitor's network address. Behind a proxy or CDN, all visitors can look like one address. Add the Yes. Your community runs on your own WordPress site. Members, posts, messages and events are stored in your own database.<\/p><\/dd>\n SpaceBay organizes your community into spaces. Each space has its own feed and its own members, and you control community access from the Settings page.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Members can send one-to-one private messages and create group chats, with images, unread counts and read receipts. People added to a group chat later see the messages written after they joined.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Images in private messages and in private or secret spaces, and images in all posts when the community is for members only, are stored in a separate folder inside your uploads folder and are only shown, through your site, to people who may read the message or space. Others get \"not found\". On Apache and IIS the folder is closed by the files SpaceBay puts in it. nginx ignores those files, so the folder has a long random name; to close it completely, add this rule to your nginx server block and reload nginx:<\/p>\n\n Change the path if your uploads folder is somewhere else. Uploaded photos have their hidden details, such as the GPS location, removed.<\/p><\/dd>\n Reported posts and first posts from new members wait in your review queue, so members only see them after you approve them. You can also set blocked words and suspend members.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. You can turn on Google and Facebook login with your own free apps. Both are optional and off until you set them up. For safety, a social login only joins an existing account whose email address the member has confirmed, by signing up with that service or by resetting their password once; otherwise the member is asked to log in with their password.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The community portal has a phone layout that feels like a native app, and it supports light and dark mode.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. SpaceBay works on network sites and supports right-to-left languages.<\/p><\/dd>\n SpaceBay connects to the WordPress privacy tools, so you can export and erase a member's personal data.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. SpaceBay has a REST API, action and filter hooks, and template overrides. A WP-CLI command fills a test site with sample content.<\/p><\/dd>\n Your data stays. The free plugin keeps working without Pro.<\/p><\/dd>\n Read the documentation<\/a> or contact support<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nWho is SpaceBay for?<\/h4>\n\n
