Topics help you organize posts in your community, making it easy for members to join the ones that interest them most.

Adding a new topic allows you to further organize your posts by grouping content into specific topics, giving members the chance to join topics they love.

You can also set up exclusive access to a topic based on the plan a member is enrolled in, providing even more tailored experiences for your community.


Adding a new topic to your community

  1. In the sidebar menu, click on Community and select Topics.

  2. To add a new topic, click on “+ New topic.”

  3. Time to set up your topic’s information! Once you’re done entering your information, hit Create topic.

    For more details on what you can configure, see below.
