The Plugin
The control room for your app. Menus, push notifications, feature toggles, version control, maintenance mode — all from WordPress, no code, no rebuild. It ships with every app, Managed and Dev Bundle alike.
The TBC Community App plugin is the WordPress half of your app. It handles the plumbing — authentication, the REST bridge, theme-color sync, push delivery — and gives you a full admin panel to change how your app looks and behaves, live. Most of what you’ll ever want to tweak after launch lives here, and it takes effect on the next app refresh: no new build, no app-store review, no waiting.
Six tabs. Total control.
General
App-wide controls in one place. Enforce a minimum app version (older versions hit a mandatory update screen with your store links). Flip on Maintenance / Coming-Soon mode with a custom message and role-based bypass. Configure deep linking — Universal Links and App Links — and crash reporting, all without a rebuild.
Features
Toggle what your members see — push notifications on or off, which profile tabs appear (Posts, Spaces, Courses, Comments), and which home-screen widgets show. It auto-detects your active Fluent Community features, so you’re never toggling something that isn’t there.
Menus
The big one. A full server-driven editor for your tab bar, launcher grid, and header icons. Add unlimited custom items, drag to reorder, pick from 1,300+ icons, set per-role visibility, and point items at in-app screens, your website (logged-in webview), or any external URL. Rebuild your app’s entire navigation without touching the app
Notifications
Define every push notification type — enable it, set the default on/off state for new users, and decide whether users can toggle it themselves. Uses the Expo push service; no configuration required.
Tools
Your diagnostics, delivery history, and utilities in one place. Check at-a-glance health — registered devices split by iOS and Android, unique users with the app installed, and active versus expired sessions. Review push delivery over the last 30 days — batches sent, recipients, delivered, and failed — with per-send error codes explained in plain English, so you always know your notifications are landing. Then act: send a test push to yourself, broadcast a manual announcement to all users or a specific role, and manage sessions — log out a single device or purge every session at once.
License
Activate your license to unlock the panel, check status and expiry, and deactivate to move your license to another site. One key, full control.
Whether Two Birds builds your app for you (Managed) or you build it yourself (Dev Bundle), this plugin is the same — it’s the part of your app you’ll actually live in.
