Title: Deferendum Community Links Author: deferendum Published: October 12, 2026 Last modified: October 12, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/deferendum-community.svg) # Deferendum Community Links By [deferendum](https://profiles.wordpress.org/deferendum/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/deferendum-community.0.2.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/deferendum-community/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/deferendum-community/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/deferendum-community/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/deferendum-community/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/deferendum-community/) ## Description Add a clear, mobile-friendly entry point for your association, parent-teacher organization, NGO or other community. Members follow the link to discuss concerns, consult arguments, participate in decisions and see the next step in Deferendum. This plugin does not conduct voting inside WordPress or copy private content. Visitor-facing cards and destinations support English, Romanian, Spanish, French and Portuguese. No API key or account credentials are needed. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Deferendum Community Link Open a real group, concern or decision. Private content stays in Deferendum. ## Installation Install the ZIP with Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin on a test WordPress site. Add the “Deferendum Community Link” block, paste a supported URL, choose the language and preview. No API key, sign-in secret or site-to-site account linking. Classic editor shortcode: [deferendum url=”https://app.deferendum.com/app/groups/ your-group” language=”en”] Supported: group entry, one existing concern, one existing decision, and a shareable group invitation when its publication is explicitly enabled. Decision anchors: # vote, #wordings, #results, #next-step, #debate. Only the five supported languages and the production app origin are accepted. Unknown/auth URLs render nothing rather than a misleading button. Access: links do not make a private topic public or grant access to non-members. An invitation is different: publishing a shareable invitation may let visitors join. Never publish a personal invitation delivered to one email address. The administrator can close or replace shareable links inside Deferendum. External service: clicking opens https://app.deferendum.com. The plugin itself does not contact that service, fetch group content, set tracking cookies or store credentials. Normal WordPress page access/logging remains the site’s responsibility. Custom headings are public page content: do not include private names, questions, voting results or contributions in them. Service terms: https://app.deferendum.com/ terms?lang=en Service privacy: https://app.deferendum.com/privacy?lang=en Deactivating removes block rendering; saved block attributes remain in the post. Do not save invitation links on pages indexed by search engines unless their public distribution is intended. No SEO/indexing policy is overridden here. ## FAQ ### Does this make my private group public? No. Group and topic links still require the visitor’s own Deferendum account and membership. Publishing an invitation is different and may let new members join. ### Does it embed voting or synchronize accounts? No. Participation happens in Deferendum. No passwords, votes or sessions are stored in WordPress. Group rules and permissions remain unchanged. ### Why is my block blank? Check the URL. Only production group/topic links and explicitly enabled shareable invitations are supported. Authentication, admin and tracking URLs are rejected. ### Is the application open-source? This WordPress plugin is GPLv2-or-later. Its license does not include the separate hosted application, backend, native apps, trademarks or private community data. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Deferendum Community Links” is open source software.
