Build a WordPress community with posts, voting, comments, profiles, moderation and communities.

== Description ==

Clevie Community adds a complete community layer to WordPress with front-end posting, voting, comments, profiles, communities, moderation, blocking and reporting. Community creation has no artificial count limit. The free edition supports video links. Clevie Community Pro adds hashtags, @mentions, private messages, member following and video file uploads.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin through Plugins, Add New, Upload Plugin, and activate it.
2. The plugin creates the pages needed for posting, sign in, registration, profiles, moderation and community creation.
3. Go to Community, Settings to configure voting, posting and moderation.
4. Make sure your site can send email because new accounts confirm their address by email.
5. Add the Clevie: Topics widget to a sidebar if your theme supports widgets.

The plugin works with any theme. The Clevie Social theme provides additional styling and integration.
