Admin settings, feed page default status and server updates

Admins, moderators and post review

We understand that easy community management is a big part of running an effective membership site, and we're here to support you.

We've added three new features that help you spend less time managing and more time growing.

Now live for you to use are admin user accounts, moderator members and post moderation.

Rich text editor improvements

We're continually looking for ways to improve the usability of Kourses. That includes adding OR removing features we feel might make our customers lives easier.

Our latest refinements focus on the Rich Text editor interface which is used when you're writing content in posts or comments throughout a Kourses based membership site.

Today's tweaks include:

Zapier & Make.com integration apps now live

As well as adding native integrations, we've now rolled out integrations with two of the leading automation tools used by digital marketers - Zapier and Make.com.

These integrations allow you to use Kourses as an "action" app - meaning you can send data from other platforms into Kourses to create new members, or to revoke access from existing members.

This opens up a wide range of opportunities for you to add Kourses into your existing business workflows with platforms where we don't yet have a native integration.

You can learn more about these integrations, and how to use them, through the knowledgebase articles linked below:

Post and comment editing integrity

We have added the ability for site admins to edit all community posts, comments, and replies. You can now also add an editing reason to maintain the integrity of your membership site.

Your members can also edit their posts, comments and replies.

All edited content gets an "edited" label.

New member quick actions and member filters update

Filter member by status: We've added additional filter options so you can now search for a member's status. You can filter for Account activated, Account not activated, Member logged in within 30 days, and Member not logged in within 30 days.

Member quick actions: We've added a quick menu to help you manage your Member accounts easier and faster. This menu gives you easy access to the primary member actions, View member profile, Edit member, Send activation email, Send password reset, and Delete a member.

"Start Writing Your Post" Box 

To encourage conversation in your communities and activity from members, we have added a "Start Writing Your Post" box to the top of the main feed page and community pages.

When your members start to write a post, the full post editor opens so they can compose their posts.

The more you can encourage new post conversations, the more engagement you will get in your membership..

Feed Page Controls

We've added view and sorting controls for the "Feed Page". You can find Feed Page options from the main menu Website > Feed > Feed Options.

You can now control:

Layout Style: Choose how you want your posts to appear on the feed. Choose from full, shortened, or list.

Post Sorting: Select how you would like your posts sorted on your feed page. The selected option will define the posts shown first to members—E.g. Latest or most liked.

Improvements & Fixes

Admin & Member Notifications

We've added email notifications for community activity for website admins and members. Admins can now activate a range of email notifications on the settings/notifications screen:

Activity notifications for admins: Admins will receive a daily email summary of member activity in their communities.

Activity notification for members: Members will receive a daily email summary of activity on their posts or replies to their post comments.

Weekly digest email for members: Members will receive a weekly email summary of the most popular posts in their communities.

If a site admin activates these settings, a member can deactivate/activate the options as they choose. These email notifications notify community members and drive them back to your membership to increase engagement and stick rate.

Improvements & Fixes

Community Feed Page

We've added a new community feed page that will pull all the posts from all your communities into one central feed. The community feed page will help your members engage in your community content. The next phase of the community feed page will add more options for customisation.

Follow Post Option

The new follow-post feature allows your members to follow a post and get notifications of updates on that post.

Note: If a member comments on a post, they are added automatically as a post follower.

Member & Admin Notifications

The notifications feed will show all unread posts, post comments, likes and lesson comments to admins and members. Your members will only see notifications for posts they follow or comment on.

Note: Admins will see notifications for all membership activity except for likes.

Added help links throughout the platform

To make your life easier when using Kourses, we've added super-useful help links throughout the platform. These links will take you to the relevant knowledgebase articles inside our help center.
