Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SpaceBay - Community, Activity Feed, Group Chat & Events
Yes. SpaceBay is free and includes spaces, the activity feed, private messages, group chat, events, profiles, the member directory, points, levels, badges, the leaderboard, notifications and moderation. SpaceBay Pro is an optional add-on for extra tools.
No. SpaceBay brings its own community portal. You can show it as a full-page app or as a page inside your current theme.
Yes. Under Settings > Posts and uploads you set the longest post (500 to 50,000 characters, 20,000 by default) and the longest comment (200 to 10,000, 5,000 by default). If you lower a limit, older long posts stay as they are and can still be edited to be shorter. Developers can change the limits with the spacebay_post_max_length, spacebay_comment_max_length and spacebay_message_max_length filters.
Yes. SpaceBay limits login attempts for each visitor's network address. Behind a proxy or CDN, all visitors can look like one address. Add the spacebay_client_ip filter and return the visitor's real address. When SpaceBay thinks your site is behind a proxy and the filter is missing, Tools > Site Health tells you. The documentation has the details.
Yes. Your community runs on your own WordPress site. Members, posts, messages and events are stored in your own database.
SpaceBay organizes your community into spaces. Each space has its own feed and its own members, and you control community access from the Settings page.
Yes. Members can send one-to-one private messages and create group chats, with images, unread counts and read receipts. People added to a group chat later see the messages written after they joined.
Yes. Images in private messages and in private or secret spaces, and images in all posts when the community is for members only, are stored in a separate folder inside your uploads folder and are only shown, through your site, to people who may read the message or space. Others get "not found". On Apache and IIS the folder is closed by the files SpaceBay puts in it. nginx ignores those files, so the folder has a long random name; to close it completely, add this rule to your nginx server block and reload nginx: location ^~ /wp-content/uploads/spacebay-private/ { internal; } Change the path if your uploads folder is somewhere else. Uploaded photos have their hidden details, such as the GPS location, removed.
Reported posts and first posts from new members wait in your review queue, so members only see them after you approve them. You can also set blocked words and suspend members.
Yes. You can turn on Google and Facebook login with your own free apps. Both are optional and off until you set them up. For safety, a social login only joins an existing account whose email address the member has confirmed, by signing up with that service or by resetting their password once; otherwise the member is asked to log in with their password.
