Let visitors submit WhatsApp groups and channels. The plugin fetches the title and logo automatically and shows everything in a searchable directory on your WordPress site.
yoursite.com/whatsapp-groups
The Free plugin covers the full submit-and-display flow.
Visitors paste a WhatsApp group or channel link, pick a category and submit. Add it with a shortcode or the Gutenberg block.
As soon as an invite link is pasted, the plugin fetches the group or channel title and its icon from WhatsApp.
A responsive grid or list with category filter, live search by name, and a direct Join Now button.
Create hierarchical categories in the WordPress dashboard and organise every group under them.
Place a responsive table of WhatsApp groups inside any post or page, or list a single category.
A per-IP hourly limit stops submission floods. Manage Groups shows status and total clicks, with edit and delete.
With the Pro Add-on, every group and channel gets its own SEO-friendly page. The page address uses the WhatsApp invite code, for example yoursite.com/invite-code/, so your site can rank for more searches.
In the directory, the Join Now button opens this page first.
