Title: Comunitix Author: comunitix Published: August 31, 2026 Last modified: August 31, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/comunitix/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3673938) ![](https://ps.w.org/comunitix/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3673938) # Comunitix By [comunitix](https://profiles.wordpress.org/comunitix/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/comunitix.2.1.1.zip) * [Details](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/comunitix/#description) * [Reviews](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/comunitix/#reviews) * [Installation](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/comunitix/#installation) * [Development](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/comunitix/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/comunitix/) ## Description Most clubs and associations already have a website — and still maintain their calendar twice: once in their management software, once on the site. Sooner or later one of them is wrong. This plugin removes the cause rather than the symptom. It connects your existing WordPress site to your Comunitix association management: * **News** — the posts your association has published. * **Dates** — the upcoming public entries from the association calendar. * **Events** — approved events, with registration status and a registration link. You can embed them with **blocks** in the block editor, with **shortcodes** in classic themes and page builders such as Elementor, or with a **widget** in the sidebar. Note: the plugin’s own interface is currently in German, matching its primary audience. Translations are welcome via translate.wordpress.org. #### You decide which direction The plugin can work in both directions — but never in both at once for the same thing. Two systems allowed to change the same object produce two truths. * **Display** (default): content is fetched at display time and not copied. One truth, immediately up to date. * **Create real posts** (optional): for associations that need their own detail pages that search engines can find. Comunitix then leads; such posts are locked in the WordPress editor and carry a notice, so nobody invests work that the next sync overwrites. * **Import dates from WordPress** (optional): if you maintain your calendar with“ The Events Calendar” and want to keep doing so, let Comunitix fetch the dates from there. #### Sign in with a Comunitix account (optional) Members can sign in to your website with their Comunitix credentials — which lets you set up protected areas without anyone needing a second password. **No member data is copied in the process.** WordPress creates an account on first sign-in, for exactly the person signing in. Someone who never visits your website has no account there. The sign-in itself is handled by the established “OpenID Connect Generic” plugin; this plugin only contributes the mapping from Comunitix roles to WordPress roles. The WordPress administrator role is **never** granted, and no existing rights are taken away from anyone. #### Contact form (optional) The shortcode `[comunitix-kontakt]` provides a form whose submissions land in the inbox of your association management instead of an email account. Spam protection without a captcha and without third parties: a hidden field, a minimum time on page, and a WordPress nonce. #### Styling The plugin ships as little CSS of its own as possible: semantic markup with clear class names and a minimal base layout (spacing and arrangement only, no colours or fonts), which can be switched off in the settings. #### Resilience Responses are cached as a WordPress transient (default: 15 minutes). If your association management is unreachable for a moment, the page shows the last known state instead of an error. For visitors that is always the better answer. ### External services This plugin connects to **Comunitix**, an association and community management system. Without that connection the plugin has no function — it exists solely as a connector to this service. **You choose the address yourself.** Comunitix can run as a hosted service at comunitix. de or on a server of your choosing; the plugin only ever contacts the address you enter in the settings. #### When data is transmitted, and which * **When fetching content** (on page views, throttled by the cache): the website key, this site’s host name and the plugin version are sent. **No visitor data** is sent — no name, no IP address, no cookies, no tracking. The request is made from this site’s server. * **When setting up with a pairing code** (once, triggered by you): the pairing code and this site’s host name are sent. * **When the contact form is submitted** (only if you use it): the details entered by the sender — name, email address, optionally phone number, subject and message— as well as the wording of the consent they agreed to. * **When signing in with a Comunitix account** (only if you use it): the sign-in runs in the browser of the person signing in, between them and Comunitix; this plugin only maps the role afterwards. **Received and displayed** is exclusively content your association has published: post text and images, calendar dates, events, and the association’s basic details. #### Provider and terms Provider of the hosted service: Comunitix — https://comunitix.de Terms of use: https://comunitix.de/agb Privacy policy: https://comunitix.de/datenschutz If you run Comunitix yourself, your own terms apply and you are the recipient of the data. Under **Tools Privacy** the plugin supplies suggested wording you can adopt into your privacy policy. ## Blocks This plugin provides 3 blocks. * News * Termine * Veranstaltungen ## Installation #### Quick setup (recommended) 1. Install and activate the plugin. 2. In your association management, under **Association Options WordPress**, generate a **pairing code** — eight characters, valid for fifteen minutes. 3. In WordPress, under **Settings Comunitix Quick setup**, enter the address of your association management and the code, then **Pair now**. The plugin fetches the key and the connection secret by itself. 4. Embed content — block, shortcode or widget. #### Manual setup If you prefer entering things yourself, create a key in your association management under **Association Options Website keys** and enter the address and the key under **Settings Comunitix. The key is shown in plain text exactly once — copy it immediately. Then use Test connection: if the association name and logo appear, everything is in order. ## FAQ ### Do I need a Comunitix account? Yes. The plugin displays content from a Comunitix association management system; without access to one it has no function. ### Which data does the plugin transmit? For displaying content: your website key, this site’s host name and the plugin version— and **no** visitor data. If you additionally use the contact form or the sign-in, that changes deliberately; exactly what flows when is documented in full under “ External services”. ### Are images loaded from a foreign server? When only displaying, yes: post images and the association logo are loaded directly from your association management — that is, from the same source you uploaded them to. If you let the plugin create real WordPress posts, the images move into your own media library and are served from your own server. ### Can someone with the website key see our member data? No. A website key can only **read**, and only what your association has published. Internal calendar entries, member data and finances are not reachable this way. The contact form does not change that: in addition to the key it requires a cryptographic signature made with the connection secret. The key alone writes nothing. ### What do I do if the key is lost? In your association management, choose **Reissue** (the old key becomes invalid immediately, approvals remain) or **Revoke** (access ends, the site shows no more content). Both take effect at once, without involving your web host. ### Why do I see an error message as an editor, but my visitors do not? By design. Errors and cache notices are visible only to signed-in editors. A visitor should see an association’s website, not a technical message. ### Why can I not edit a post created by Comunitix? Because the next sync would overwrite it. Comunitix leads for this content; the lock prevents anyone from investing work that would be lost. Such content is edited in the association management. ### Can people register for events through the website? For events with open guest registration a **Register** link appears. It leads into your association management; the plugin itself does not accept event registrations. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Comunitix” is open source software.

Script and stylesheet are registered with `wp_enqueue_script` / `wp_enqueue_style` and are loaded on the plugin’s own options screen only; nonces, the AJAX address and the translated strings are handed over with `wp_localize_script`. * No change in behaviour: pairing and connection test work exactly as before. #### 2.1.0 * Security review before submission. The open `ping` endpoint now reveals the WordPress and PHP versions only to an authenticated association management. A server’s PHP version is not something a website should hand out to everyone — unlike the WordPress version, it is not published anywhere. * No change to the interface itself: all fields remain present, they are simply empty when unauthenticated. Existing integrations continue to work unchanged. * The readme is now in English, as required for the plugin directory. * Translation loading is left to WordPress (`load_plugin_textdomain` is no longer needed since WordPress 4.6). #### 2.0.0 * Setup by pairing code: type eight characters instead of copying an address and a key. * Immediate updates — Comunitix reports changes instead of the site waiting for the cache to expire (signed calls with a time window and a one-time value). * Content optionally as real WordPress posts and as a dedicated post type, including images in your own media library. Locked in the editor, with a reason given. * Optionally import dates from “The Events Calendar” — with protection against an imported date flowing back and multiplying. * Sign-in with a Comunitix account via “OpenID Connect Generic”, without copying member data. The administrator role is never granted. * Contact form `[comunitix-kontakt]` whose submissions land in the association management inbox. Spam protection without a captcha and without third parties. * Privacy policy wording extended to cover the contact form and the sign-in. #### 1.0.0 * First release: blocks, shortcodes and a widget for news, dates and events. * Connection test with association name and logo. * Caching as a transient, falling back to the last known state. * Structured data (schema.org/Event). ## Meta * Version **2.1.1** * Last updated **14 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.4** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/comunitix/) * Tags * [association](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/association/)[calendar](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/calendar/) [club](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/club/)[events](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/events/) [news](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/news/) * [Advanced View](https://ido.wordpress.org/plugins/comunitix/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
