Questions
About the community
Do members need a separate account?
No. Anyone who can log in to your WordPress site is a member.
Can I switch parts off?
Yes. Stories, Groups, Courses, Messages and Notifications are separate modules you can turn off in the settings.
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. The community runs on its own URLs with its own layout, and your theme handles the rest of the site.
