WordPress + FluentCommunity Automation Snippets

This repository contains a collection of custom code snippets designed to enhance and automate WordPress sites running FluentCommunity, Paid Memberships Pro, and related tools.

These scripts solve real-world problems for site admins, from auto-generating usernames to setting default notification preferences for new spaces. All snippets are safe to copy and paste directly into your WordPress site’s functions.php file (preferably inside a child theme — more on that below).

⚙️ What’s Included

• ✅ Automatically assign notification preferences when a new space is created in FluentCommunity
• ✅ Auto-fill usernames in the FirstName.LastName format on checkout
• ✅ Default notification settings for new users
• ✅ Miscellaneous admin automations and fixes

📥 How to Use These Snippets

These snippets are intended to be copy-pasted into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

⚠️ Use a Child Theme (Important!)

To avoid losing your changes when your theme updates, always use a child theme.

What is a child theme?

A child theme is a WordPress theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme (the “parent”), and allows you to safely make customizations.

Don’t have a child theme yet?

You can create one by following this guide:
👉 WordPress: How to Create a Child Theme

Or use a plugin like:

• Child Theme Configurator

🔧 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open Your Child Theme’s functions.php

Via WordPress dashboard:

• Go to Appearance > Theme File Editor
• Choose your child theme
• Click on functions.php in the right-hand sidebar

Or via FTP/file manager:

• Navigate to:
  /wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/functions.php

2. Backup First (Optional but Smart)

Save a copy of your current functions.php before making changes.

3. Copy a Snippet

Open the file from this repo that matches what you need and copy the code.

4. Paste It In

Paste the code at the bottom of functions.php — make sure it’s inside the PHP block and before any closing ?> tag, if present.

5. Save the File

• Click Update File (in the WordPress editor), or
• Save/upload the file via FTP

That’s it! Your custom functionality is now live.
