About the Plugin
FluentCommunity Anonymous Posts is a powerful extension for FluentCommunity that introduces flexible anonymous posting capabilities to your online community.
Sometimes members have important questions, personal experiences, sensitive topics, or honest opinions they want to share without attaching their real identity. This plugin makes that possible.
Community administrators can enable anonymous posting on individual spaces, allowing members to choose whether to publish anonymously or automatically anonymizing every post in designated spaces.
Beyond simply hiding usernames, the plugin introduces an advanced anonymous persona system that generates unique pseudonyms and avatars, making anonymous discussions feel more natural and engaging.
With additional features such as post approval workflows, anonymous posting limits, customizable identities, email notifications, and translation support, FluentCommunity Anonymous Posts provides a comprehensive solution for communities that value privacy, openness, and meaningful participation.

Important Privacy Notes
The plugin masks member identities across the FluentCommunity interfaces it supports. However, it does not make members completely untraceable.
The real author remains stored in the database and can be accessed by authorized administrators and moderators according to the configured settings. Certain third-party integrations, author-based searches, and unsupported interfaces may still access the original author information.
Anonymous post notifications that could expose the real author’s identity are suppressed in supported FluentCommunity notification and email workflows.
Public spaces are blocked by default because FluentCommunity Pro SEO pre-rendering and JSON-LD output can expose the real author’s identity.
