Hi Sander,

Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:

groups (visible for all logged in members)

-> Correct me if I'm wrong, do you mean group here is category right? If yes you can setting each category to only access to logged member by:
1. Click Category>choose category>Permission: https://www.screencast.com/t/SVJFBhIjHg

message management for updates in these groups (so users can assign what messages they receive)

-> Do you mean you want certain user receive notification on certain category? If yes, you can enable the category subscription( https://www.screencast.com/t/ydLNkDrAqF5j ) and user can subscribe single category : https://www.screencast.com/t/4wDXFuzuRmrW

Hope this helps

Dear Fadhli,

thanks for your reply. I know this is possible in Easy Discuss in Joomla.

I am looking for something that has the same functions for Wordpress.

Any ideas?

Hi Sanders,

Unfortunately, our component do not serve any plugin/extension for Wordpress (where ours is mainly for Joomla CMS)
Perhaps, you can create ticket in the wordpress support if they have any plugin/extension that have similar to EasyDiscuss.
