TalkToMe – user inputs & polls vs ZenCommunity

WHAT IS IT? A plugin that lets you gather user input directly from your WordPress community. WHY USE IT? Out of the box, WordPress has only one way to gather user input: comments. If you wan’t to interact more thoroughly with your community, comments are not enough. Therefore, we created this plugin. WHAT DOES THE PLUGIN DO? You can create a so called ‘Input Card’ where users can answer a question and provide valuable feedback. Furthermore, the plugin provides a ‘Poll Card’ that you can use for surveys. Finally, there is also a third type of cards ‘HTML Card’ that allows custom html input to create your very own card. HOW DO I USE IT? Once the plugin is activated, navigate to ‘Crowd’ and then click on Cards. Here you can create a New Card and choose the type of card you are interested in. After creating your card, you are able to attach the cards to your WordPress post.

The All-in-One WordPress Community Plugin for Groups, Social Feeds, Real-Time Chat, and Support ZenCommunity is the first WordPress community plugin that unifies groups, posts, support ticketing, and live chat into one native powerhouse. Build social, Facebook-style communities with real-time chat and posts, convert community posts into tracked support tickets, and offer instant live help — all inside your WordPress site. 👉 ZenCommunity Site 👉 Unlock Premium Features 👉 Join Our Official Community Core Features at a Glance Community Tool User-friendly UX Unlimited groups/spaces User profiles Activity feeds Member controls Feeds Comments & reactions Real-time chat Notifications Privacy controls Mentions Hashtags Polls and surveys (Coming soon) Leaderboard (Coming soon) Bookmarks Branding options Welcome message Custom slugs Search Member directory File uploads GIF Emoji Media storage Role manager User approval Email summaries Dark & light mode Support Ticketing [PRO] Convert feed to tickets Ticket status tracking Ticket assignment Ticket stages (ongoing, solved, etc.) Ticket notifications Auto replies (Coming soon) Live Chat [PRO] Customizable website live chat widget (Cross domain also supported) Multi-session handling Instant visitor support Real-time notifications File sharing 24/7 support system ZenCommunity isn’t just another community plugin. It’s the first WordPress solution that combines the three strongest engagement systems — Community, Real-Time Chat, and Support Tickets — together in one place. Most WordPress websites use 3–5 different tools to achieve what ZenCommunity does alone. That creates scattered conversations, missed messages, and poor user experience. ZenCommunity removes that problem completely. By keeping community posts, chats, and support inside one system, your users stay connected, engaged, and supported without ever leaving your site. Below are the core sections that show how ZenCommunity stands out. Community Features — Your Full Social System Inside WordPress ZenCommunity gives you everything needed to build a full, social-style community inside WordPress — no third-party platforms, no separate plugins. Advanced Community Groups Build public or private groups with full admin control. Groups can be used for LMS classes, client spaces, internal teams, membership circles, or interest-based communities. Each group has its own feed, members, and settings. Facebook-Style Posting & Engagement Your members can publish posts, attach media, use @mentions, comment, reply, react, and follow discussions. The interface feels familiar, simple, and fast — encouraging users to talk and stay active. Real-Time Community Chat ZenCommunity includes built-in chat inside groups. Members can start private one-to-one chats or chat as a group with typing indicators, read status, file sharing, and notifications. Conversations stay active without page reloads. User Profiles & Activity Tracking Each user gets a profile with activity, groups, posts, and engagement. This makes your community feel more personal and interactive. Community Growth Features Hashtags, polls, surveys, leaderboards, bookmarks, and email summaries help keep engagement high. Members always have a reason to come back. Admin Control & Community Safety Moderators can manage posts, approve members, customize branding, set privacy rules, and control roles. You decide how open or private each group should be. Support Ticketing — Full Helpdesk Inside Your Community ZenCommunity includes a complete support ticketing system connected directly to your community and chats. Convert Posts Into Support Tickets If a user posts a question that needs deeper help, convert it into a ticket with one click — no platform switching. Clear Ticket Assignments Assign each ticket to a responsible team member so the right person handles the issue. This reduces confusion and improves response time. Status Tracking Each ticket has clear stages (new, ongoing, solved, etc.) so both sides can follow progress. Your support team stays organized, and users always know what’s happening. Personal Support Chat on Each Ticket Tickets include an instant one-to-one chat. Users don’t need email or external help desks — everything is live and inside your site. Smart Notifications Both users and team members get notifications when ticket updates happen. Nothing gets lost. Auto Replies Helpful for off-hours, acknowledgment messages, or routing requests. Live Chat — Instant Help That Converts Visitors ZenCommunity includes a built-in real-time live chat widget for your entire site. Customizable Widget Add your supporter’s name, photo, availability status, and greeting message. This makes your support feel personal and trustworthy. Instant Visitor Support Visitors can start chatting immediately. Control visitor login or anonymous chat. Multi-Session Handling Support agents can handle multiple conversations at once without losing track. Real-Time Notifications & File Sharing Send and receive files instantly, get notified when new messages arrive, and keep the conversation going smoothly. 24/7 Support System The widget stays active at all times, so users always have access to help.
