Setting up your community

How do I switch features on and off?

Turn whole sections, such as Events, Groups or the Wallet, on or off for your community.

You switch whole sections of your community on or off on the Module Configuration page.

1. Open Module Configuration. Some admin accounts also see it under Platform Operations in the menu.
2. Find the feature. Type its name in Search modules, or press Core or Features to shorten the list.
3. Press the switch on the feature's card.

The change saves straight away. You see a message such as "Events enabled" or "Events disabled".

The two lists on the page

Core Modules are the main parts of the site, such as Listings, Wallet, Messages and Feed. Optional Features are extras, such as Events, Groups, Blog, Volunteering and Federation.

What members notice

When you switch a feature off, it disappears from menus and pages for everyone. Members cannot use it. The information already in it is kept. If you switch it back on, it returns as it was.

Members who follow an old link to a switched-off section may see a Coming Soon page.

Settings you cannot change

Two-factor authentication and Passkeys & biometric login can only be changed by the platform team. If you try, you see an error.

Switch features on one at a time, and tell your members what is new. It is easier to support people that way.

This is done on the main website. The accessible site does not have this page.
