Key Features

1. 100% Ajax-Powered: Incredibly fast, single-page application feel. Content loads instantly without refreshing the page, providing a smooth and modern user experience.
2. Dynamic Activity Feeds: Two distinct feeds for users:
   • For You: An algorithmic feed showcasing posts from followed users, verified accounts, and popular content.
   • Following: A purely chronological feed of posts from users they follow.
3. Rich User Profiles: Beautiful, customizable profiles with profile pictures, cover images, bios, social links, and tabs for Posts, Media, and Liked content.
4. Versatile Content Creation: Users can create a variety of engaging content:
   • Posts: Share text (up to 300 characters), upload images or videos, and generate automatic previews for shared links.
   • GIF Search: Integrated Giphy support allows users to easily search and add GIFs to their posts.
   • Polls: Create interactive polls with 2-4 options and a custom duration.
   • Reels: Post short-form vertical videos in a dedicated, scrollable Reels feed.
5. Advanced Engagement & Interaction: A full suite of engagement tools including Likes, Comments, @Mentions, #Hashtags, Reposts, and Replies.
6. Bookmarks: Users can privately save posts to their “Bookmarks” tab to find later.
7. Real-time Private Messaging: A complete one-on-one chat system with support for text and media uploads, unread indicators, and conversation management.
8. In-App & Push Notifications: Keep users engaged with a dedicated notifications tab and real-time push notifications for new followers, likes, comments, and messages, powered by OneSignal.
9. Stories, Live Streaming & Spaces (Add-on Included!):
   • Stories: Allow users to post temporary (24-hour) photo, video, or text-based stories that appear at the top of the feed. Includes emoji reactions and view counters.
   • Live Video Streaming: Powered by Agora, verified users can start live video broadcasts directly from your site. Viewers can join, watch, interact via a real-time comment system, and send tips to the streamer from their wallet.
   • Live Audio Spaces: Users can host audio-only conversation rooms. The host controls the space, listeners can “request to speak,” and participants can send tips to the host, creating engaging live podcasts and discussions.
10. Full-Featured Wallet & Monetization System:
    • Integrated Wallet: Every user has a personal wallet. Users can add funds (top-up) via WooCommerce, send money directly to other users, and request withdrawals of their balance.
    • User Monetization (Earn Real Money): Eligible users (verified, with a minimum follower count set by you) can earn money for their activity—creating posts, commenting, and getting views on their content. Earnings are deposited directly into their wallet.
    • Post Promotions: Users can pay from their wallet to “promote” their own posts, increasing their visibility and reach in the “For You” feed.
    • Session Tipping: Users can tip their favorite creators during Live Streams and Audio Spaces directly from their wallet, with the platform taking a configurable commission on each tip.
11. SEO-Friendly & Sharable Links with Rich Previews: Each post, profile, live stream, and space has a unique URL that generates a rich preview when shared on social media platforms, boosting visibility and engagement.
12. Powerful Admin Control: Manage users, moderate posts, review user reports, and oversee the entire economy of your platform, including promotion requests, withdrawal requests, and monetization settings.
13. Detailed Settings Panels: Fine-tune every aspect of your community, from colors and branding to feature toggles, monetization rates, and API keys.
14. Advertisement Ready: Place your own ads (AdSense, custom banners, etc.) in multiple strategic locations, including the feed, sidebars, live streams, and audio spaces.
15. Built for WordPress & Extensible: Integrates seamlessly and is compatible with other plugins for functions like SMTP, advanced user role management, and more.
16. Multi-language Ready: Translate the plugin into any language using WordPress’s built-in language settings.
17. Automatic Page Creation: Upon activation, the plugin automatically creates the main “Co Echo App” page, as well as placeholder “Terms of Service” and “Privacy Policy” pages for you to fill out.

Technical & Compatibility

Co-Echo is built with modern standards to ensure a great experience for both admins and users.

• Hosting Recommendation: While the plugin can operate on standard shared hosting, performance may be limited as your community grows. For optimal speed and reliability with an active user base, we strongly recommend using a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or cloud hosting.
• WooCommerce Required for Payments: The user wallet top-up feature requires the free WooCommerce plugin to be installed and active to handle payments.
• Theme Compatibility: The plugin has been thoroughly tested and is fully compatible with the default WordPress themes from 2023, 2024, and 2025. Due to the vast number of themes available, we cannot guarantee flawless compatibility with all third-party themes. While it may work with your theme, some styling or functional adjustments might be necessary.
• Latest WordPress Ready: Tested and compatible with the latest versions of WordPress.
• Plays Well with Others: Because Co-Echo uses the core WordPress user system, it is compatible with thousands of other plugins. We recommend using dedicated plugins for functions like SMTP (e.g., WP Mail SMTP) and advanced user role management.
• Responsive Design: The Co-Echo interface is fully responsive and looks great on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
• Developer Friendly: The code is well-organized and commented, with hooks and filters for further customization.
