Overview
The Community Wall plugin is one of the most powerful tools for encouraging in-app user engagement. It allows users to post, comment, like, and interact in a shared feed. This plugin is perfect for communities, events, or group-based discussions.
Once installed, users will see a community feed where they can interact. You can customize posting permissions, enable private chat, and even require tags or purchases to access the space.
