Clevie Community turns your WordPress site into a social community where members can create posts, share ideas, connect with others and build their own communities.
Members can publish content directly from the front end, vote on posts, comment, create profiles and communities, follow other members, and interact with others through a familiar social experience. Moderation, reporting and blocking tools help you keep your community organized and welcoming.
The free version gives you a powerful foundation for building a community without artificial limits on the number of communities you can create. It also supports video links in posts.
Clevie Community Pro adds even more ways for members to connect, including hashtags, @mentions, private messages, member following and video file uploads.
Whether you’re building a discussion community, a social network, a member platform or a community around your website, Clevie Community gives you the tools to get started — without replacing WordPress with a separate platform.
WordPress.org compatibility
This release keeps the public Clevie shortcode and hook names for backward compatibility while using the clevie_ prefix for plugin-defined PHP symbols.
- Upload the plugin through Plugins, Add New, Upload Plugin, and activate it.
- The plugin creates the pages needed for posting, sign in, registration, profiles, moderation and community creation.
- Go to Community, Settings to configure voting, posting and moderation.
- Make sure your site can send email because new accounts confirm their address by email.

Changelog
2.18.50
- Updated the plugin version for the new release.
2.18.49
- Improved the WordPress.org description and plugin metadata.
2.18.48
- Moved the inactive-member win-back notification feature into the premium edition only.
2.18.47
- Fixed the plugin header declaring “Clevie Community pro” instead of “Clevie Community”, which Plugin Check reported as a mismatch with the readme.
- Fixed a sanitized-but-still-flagged input on the account deletion form (an unnecessary extra trim() was breaking Plugin Check’s ability to recognize the sanitizer).
- Correctly scoped the slow-query notices around the one-time meta key migration that runs on plugin upgrade and uninstall.
2.18.46
- Addressed the WordPress.org review team’s sanitization/escaping feedback: input is now sanitized at the point it is read wherever possible, and every remaining exception (passwords, file uploads, functions that already return escaped HTML) carries a documented reason instead of a bare suppression comment.
2.18.45
- Fixed WordPress.org metadata consistency for the generated free version.
2.18.27
- Reorganised the plugin settings screen with a compact section navigation while keeping the existing settings API and save flow.
2.18.21
- Added reversible post offline functionality for authors. “Delete post” takes a post offline without permanently deleting its content.
2.18.19
- Corrected premium feature licensing to use the Clevie Social theme bundle license.
- Updated the internal plugin version to 2.18.19.
