mooWP plugin acts as a bridge between mooSocial platform and WordPress to turn your WordPress Site Into a Social Network. It allows you to turn your one-time visitors into loyal, long-term users by providing them a place to sign up, connect with each other, post messages, and more
Why choose mooSocial to add Social network for WordPress
Why would you want to send your existing users on your WordPress site to other social networks like fb, twitter … .to increase the traffic for them instead of building a community for them to keep coming back to get quality traffic to your website.
mooSocial is a “white labeled” php social network software.It is light, fast, easy to customize, and mobile-friendly. Adding mooSocial into your existing WordPress site using mooWP will provide all the needed social features to keep your users engaged with your platform. This is crucial for growing an active community that you can leverage for social marketing, greater exposure and increased revenue.
Zero headache to deal with 3rd party developers and compatible issues between developers because everything is from mooSocial Team. We have all of the plugins and apps that you need to have to build a successful community. The existing community plugins for WordPress may be FREE and cheaper but most of them lack a lot of features/plugins for a social platform. Whenever you need a new plugin or modify the existing social feature, you have to go with 3rd party solutions but normally they don’t talk to each other. This developer may break something else from other developers and vice versa…..
Quick support: we provide the best customer support through many support channels like ticket, skype, community and online chat. For each client, we have dedicated technical support staff to handle any questions from them to help you create a successful community.

<h3>Use of a 3rd Party</h3>
mooWP plugin is free but to run it requires you to purchase a license of the social network platform <a href="https://moosocial.com/social-networking-plugin-for-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">mooSocial</a> . This plugin is only responsible for connecting WordPress site and mooSocial platform to synchronize users and notifications system.
How it works: When you buy a license, we will provide free installation service and installation package. If you are technically savvy, you can install it yourself based on the instructions <a href="https://moosocial.com/knowledge-base/moowp-installation-and-configuration/" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>
After installing and configuring correctly according to the instructions, mooSocial and WordPress site will be connected to each other. Sign up/in will be performed on the WordPress site and users will be automatically created on the community site. If there are notifications in the community, you will see them on your WordPress site through the notification system included in the mooWP plugin. We will help change the color of the community site to make it similar to your existing WordPress site to give your users the feeling that they are using a single platform.
We provide 2 options for you to choose from when installing.
<ul>
<li>Use our cloud hosting and pay monthly/yearly. Can subscribe the cloud service <a href="https://moosocial.com/moo-cloud/" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a></li>

Community by mooSocial – Social Network, Community

Turn your Wordpress site to a powerful online community and see your business grow.

Alex Kirk

The Friends plugin allows you to follow content from other WordPress sites, and interact with them on your own site. You can follow friends and others via RSS. If you also have the ActivityPub plugin installed, you can follow people on Mastodon and other ActivityPub-compatible social networks.
Since version 2.6.0, no users will be created for subscriptions.
Combine this plugin with the ActivityPub plugin to make your own WordPress your own Mastodon instance. Use the Enable Mastodon Apps to use mobile and desktop Mastodon apps with your own site.
The Friends Plugin also has a “friend request” function which allows blogs to become friends with each other. This then allows private publishing on your blog while each of their friends has their own blog but will be able to see your privately published posts.
There are many small aspects that make it powerful self-hosted social reader:
You can… 
– Have multiple feeds per person, so you can subscribe to their blog(s) and social media account(s). 
– Categorize incoming content with Post Formats and view all posts of a certain format across your friends. 
– Define rules to filter incoming content (sometimes you’re not interested in everything your friends do). 
– Turn your favorite blog into your personal newsletter by receiving full-post notification e-mails 
– Use feed rules to filter out content you are not interested in. 
– Receive ePubs of your friends’ posts to your eReader (via another plugin). 
– Collect posts (from your feeds or around the web) in a collection for later reference (via another plugin).

<h3>Philosophy</h3>
The Friends Plugin was built to make use of what WordPress provides:
<ul>
<li>You use the WordPress infrastructure (Gutenberg or Classic Editor, what you prefer) to create your posts.</li>
<li>If a post is private, only logged-in friends can see it. They can only log in through their own Friends plugin on their blog.</li>
<li>Therefore, your friend is just a user on your WordPress blog, their posts are theirs, you can delete them to unfriend them.</li>
<li>No extra tables: The Friends plugin just uses a post type, options and some taxonomies to store its data. When you delete the plugin, your WordPress will be slim like before.</li>
</ul>
In future, I could see mobile apps instead of talking to a third party, to talk to your own blog. It will have your friends’ posts already fetched. Maybe the apps will be specialized, like Twitter or Instagram, where you’d only interact with and create posts in the specific post format.
