The problem

You are building someone else’s asset.

Every community tool asks you to hand over the thing you are working hardest to build: the audience and the data.

  • Circle, Mighty, Discourse. You pay every month, and they own the audience, the data, and the upsell.
  • Facebook Groups. Meta owns the algorithm and the attention. You are a tenant.
  • bbPress. Dated, thin on features, and it slows your whole WordPress site down.

Jetonomy puts the whole thing on your WordPress instead. You own the members, the content, and the domain.

The answer

A modern community, on your own WordPress.

Four kinds of space in one plugin: a Forum for discussion, Q&A with a real accepted answer, an Ideas board with voting and a public roadmap, and a Feed. Switch each on or off, and it all matches your theme.

Why Jetonomy

Built to be run, not babysat.

Fast at any scale

Runs on its own database tables, built for community workloads. Your home page, blog, and shop stay fast at 100,000+ topics.

It moderates itself

Six trust levels promote members automatically and hand your best people the tools to run the place. You stop being the bottleneck.

It looks like yours

Adopts your active theme colours, fonts, and spacing. No custom CSS, no theme-versus-plugin fight every time you update.

Yours to own

48+ REST endpoints and full headless access. Your community data lives on your server, never locked inside someone else’s product.

Under the hood

Built on modern WordPress, for the new web.

The stack that lets it stay fast, go headless, and power a native app.

WordPress core, done right

Custom database tables (not overloaded post types), hooks, capabilities, and Application Passwords for auth. Standards-based, and it plays nice with your stack.

AI built in

LLM moderation and assist for spam, auto-moderation, reply suggestions, and thread summaries. Multi-provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, self-hosted Ollama), running in the background so posting stays fast.

Interactivity API

The whole community navigates instantly and app-like, with no full page reloads, built on the WordPress Interactivity API.

A real transport layer

One nonce-aware REST client with automatic session refresh, plus a universal adapter layer for membership, search, real-time, and email.

REST API

48+ endpoints, and 90+ with Pro. Fully headless, ready for any client or app you want to build on top.

Integrations

Works with the tools you already run.

16+ integrations, no glue code. Gate spaces by membership, purchase, or course, and wire the community into your CRM.

Better together

Add the social layer with BuddyNext.

BuddyNext is Wbcom’s social layer: member profiles, an activity feed, and the social graph. Jetonomy is the forum and Q&A layer. Run them together for a complete community from one vendor, with no third-party BuddyPress or BuddyBoss needed. They pair automatically: shared design tokens, and BuddyNext owns the header and nav with zero config.

Top notch support. I have been frustrated by slow support for most themes and plugins, but they are helpful and quick to reply. Highly recommend.

After 16 years of buying WordPress themes and plugins, I know exactly what bad support looks like. Wbcom Designs is the polar opposite.

Questions

Before you install

  1. Will it slow my WordPress site down?

    No. Jetonomy stores community data in its own database tables built for the workload, so your home page, blog, and shop stay fast even at 100,000+ topics.

  2. Can I migrate from bbPress, wpForo, or Asgaros?

    Yes. A built-in importer pulls topics, replies, users, timestamps, and your attachments in one click, and old URLs keep working so your Google rankings survive the switch.

  3. Do I need a developer to set it up?

    No. Install, run the setup wizard, and you have a community. Matching your theme takes zero custom CSS.

  4. Is the free plugin actually usable, or crippled?

    It runs a complete community on its own, indefinitely, with no card required: four space types, trust levels, search, moderation, and importers. Pro adds extensions when you grow.

  5. Is there a mobile app?

    It is coming. A native Jetonomy app for iOS and Android is submitted to the App Store and Google Play and in review. It comes with Jetonomy Pro, driven by the same plugin over the REST app API with native push.

One plugin. Your whole community. This week.

The free plugin runs a complete community, with a REST API when you need it. The mobile app (coming soon) and 17 Pro extensions come with Pro, whenever your community is ready.
