The Scratching Post

NovaCat is a professional website and creator-management platform for people working in entertainment, visual arts, production, and digital media. It brings your identity, credits, portfolio, approved media, professional materials, and audience tools together.

Actors, models, filmmakers, screenwriters, production crew, designers, photographers, animators, artists, content creators, and brand ambassadors can use profession-specific presentation fields.

No. It is built for emerging and established creative professionals, including those building their first professional presence.

The fictional NovaCat, MamaCat, and PapaCat characters illustrate the experience. Your installed NovaCat site uses your own professional identity, approved media, and information.

It includes professional presentation pages, but also media management, verified credits, audience and member tools, inquiries, and a creator administration area called The Window.

No, MamaCat is busy representing NovaCat and is looking for a good female cat for him to settle down with and have a litter before she’s too old to manage their careers.

Yes. See It in Action opens a populated demonstration. Demo characters, sample news, and example representative information are fictional.

All NovaCat plan purchases and billing take place on NOVALARIC at novalaric.com/get-novacat-today. The plugin itself does not run a separate cart, checkout, or subscription billing system.

The public NovaCat introduction presents Creator, Professional, and Studio plans. The current product page at NOVALARIC is the authority for final prices, purchase terms, and available service arrangements.

Plan entitlements are tied to a verified NOVALARIC order and may be updated when a new plan is verified. Ask NOVALARIC about the available upgrade and billing terms.

Your approved biographies, professional materials, photographs, and media remain subject to your ownership and licensing rights. NovaCat does not turn third-party material into content you own.

The published plans include management of one standard available .com and managed hosting. Premium names, transfer eligibility, and external provider charges can differ.

You can keep your current domain and hosting or request a managed transition. A transfer requires authorization and verification; do not cancel existing services until the transition is confirmed.

Your domain ownership remains yours. Registrar, renewal, and migration arrangements should be confirmed before any service change.

A creator can publish an About page, professional portfolio and credits, approved media, news or updates, and other enabled public features. Visibility depends on what the creator has actually published.

Authorized creator and administrator controls support editing public presentation details. Published items should be checked for accuracy and rights before sharing.

Yes. Creator Setup and profession-specific fields help tailor the presentation for on-camera, production, visual, and digital work.

Representation records can be managed with verified professional details. MamaCat’s representation role belongs to the fictional demonstration.

It helps discover possible public references to your work. You review whether a result is really yours before approving it for use; search results are not automatically treated as verified facts.

The creator workflows distinguish draft or review states from public publication. Check the actual public page before sharing a link.

NovaCat includes controls for video, short-form video, photographs, media records, and professional material. Available upload types and file limits depend on the specific workflow and hosting configuration.

NovaCat includes on-site media player experiences. Playback depends on the media source, access permissions, and browser support.

Eligible signed-in members can participate in enabled media interaction features, including comments and qualifying short video responses, subject to review and access rules.

Only upload or publish media you own or are authorized to distribute. Media editors include rights and attribution checks; rights ownership is not inferred from an upload.

Privacy and visibility are managed by the relevant media workflow. Review individual settings carefully; an item should not be assumed public just because it is uploaded.

It presents and manages approved media collections, video features, photography, and supported editorial media experiences.

NovaCat supports member accounts and a My Account experience. Verification and permissions govern access to member features.

Communication availability depends on the creator’s preferences and each member’s permissions. Message-media durations are controlled by the applicable member setting.

The Timeline records career milestones, future predictions, and later reflections so talent and fans can revisit what happened.

Entry-tier predictions use fixed milestone dates at 30 days, six months, and one year. Higher tiers support their permitted custom dates and greater video allowances. Prediction videos have a 59-second maximum in the current workflow.

Signed-in members can submit comments on eligible public milestones. Comments go through the applicable approval workflow.

Campaign fundraising is an entitlement of verified middle and top tiers. Any campaign must meet the platform’s approval and publication conditions.

The Window is the private creator administration experience where approved operators manage professional records and the site.

Representation / Rails, Latest News, See It In Action, Media Room, Analytics, My Online Footprint, and Settings / Identity. Other authorized controls may be available through linked management workflows.

The Window has responsive touch controls and mobile navigation. Device and browser behavior should still be checked on the specific phone or tablet you use.

Authorized team and role controls support collaboration without treating everyone as the creator. Access depends on assigned permissions.

The dashboard displays recorded first-party events and available saved metrics; missing records are not estimated and these counts should not be confused with third-party audience totals.

Authorized users can create and manage supported content records and publication states. Editorial items should be accurate and properly sourced.

No. Access is controlled by the associated record and permission workflow. Review visibility before publishing or sharing any personal or professional material.

No. Editing actions are subject to WordPress authentication, role capabilities, and the applicable NovaCat permissions.

No. NovaCat plan checkout is centralized at NOVALARIC. An installed creator site handles its enabled features rather than selling NovaCat plans locally.

Record the page, device, action, and exact error so the relevant installation can be diagnosed. A working demo does not guarantee every external service is configured on a separate site.

Use the inquiry form on the NovaCat platform homepage. Describe your role, the feature, and the question so the administrator can respond.

Elementor may be used to design ordinary WordPress pages that remain under the normal WordPress page-rendering system. NovaCat owns its product pages, creator/member routes, navigation shells, access checks, and The Window; those screens are rendered by the plugin and are not Elementor-editable canvases. Use Elementor only for separately created standard pages, avoid replacing NovaCat-owned routes or global headers and footers, and test the actual layout, permissions, and mobile behavior on staging before publishing. NovaCat does not declare or test a formal Elementor integration.

NovaCat runs on WordPress, so carefully chosen backup, security, spam protection, email delivery, and search-engine optimization plugins can complement site operations. Compatibility is not guaranteed by category or popularity: choose maintained tools, avoid overlapping membership, media, redirects, checkout, and public-page builders, and test each specific plugin/version on staging. NovaCat plan purchasing stays on NOVALARIC; installing a local cart plugin does not make it the NovaCat checkout.

NovaCat is a WordPress-based creator website and management platform: it supplies controlled public presentation, portfolios, media experiences, creator administration in The Window, membership, messaging, Timeline, and plan-gated features. It is not a standalone social network, a talent agency, a guarantee of professional representation, a native App Store application, a general-purpose visual page builder, or a replacement for WordPress hosting. It does not sell NovaCat plans or process NovaCat subscriptions on the installed creator site; plan transactions belong to NOVALARIC.

Review the product and plan terms on NOVALARIC, complete a purchase there, and follow the onboarding instructions for your creator website. Access to paid capabilities depends on verification of the associated order.

The Window provides management forms for supported site details, media, records, and pages. Changes outside those controls may require authorized technical help.

Your public professional name can differ from private account details. Enter accurate contractual and contact information wherever verification or billing requires it.

Creator presentation supports profession-related fields. Use the relevant credits and categories to describe your work accurately instead of presenting an unrelated profession as verified.

Prepare your approved biography, contact and representation information, current headshots, credits, reel or other portfolio media, source links, and the rights needed to publish them.

No. You can present your own professional work. Representation information should only be published when a relationship is real and current.

Draft and unpublished records can be prepared separately from public content. Only publish information and media you are ready for visitors to see.

Use authorized editing controls for the affected record and verify the public result. Cached pages or third-party previews may take time to refresh.

No. The fictional NovaCat demonstration is illustrative; creator accounts require their own details, approvals, and appropriate content.

Publicly published pages can be viewed without a member account. Private messaging and other member-only actions require the appropriate signed-in access.

A member submits the available registration form and completes the applicable verification and approval steps. Creators can control access to their community.

The code helps confirm control of the email address used for membership. A code is temporary and should never be shared with another person.

The current email verification workflow expires codes after 15 minutes. Request a fresh code if yours has expired.

Check the address and spam folder, then use the available resend flow. Delivery depends on the site email configuration; contact the site team if messages still do not arrive.

Yes. A creator can use optional access codes with recipient, expiration, and usage restrictions where that registration mode is enabled.

No. Registration verifies or grants the associated account access; individual media, messaging, and creator-management permissions are separate.

The member account controls include first-name and last-name updates. Public professional identity records may have their own separate editing controls.

Member email changes use a verification link sent to the proposed new address. Access depends on successfully completing the verification.

You can submit a privacy or account-closure request. Shared conversations, moderation records, and other retained material can require administrator review; requesting closure does not instantly erase everything.

Optional email alerts are off until enabled and do not include private message text, images, or personal recognition notes.

Members can adjust available private in-app notification categories and optional email alerts from their account preferences.

It is a creator-recorded statement about a future milestone that can later be revisited alongside a reflection about what actually happened.

The entry tier uses fixed milestones 30 days, six months, and one year from the relevant starting point.

Custom milestone dates are an entitlement of verified middle and top plans, within the applicable workflow rules.

The currently coded allowance is one video per milestone for entry, four for middle, and eight for top. The allowance is checked against the verified entitlement.

The Timeline prediction recording limit is 59 seconds. File and hosting constraints may also apply to uploads.

The saved original prediction is retained for comparison. Add a later reflection instead of silently rewriting the original record.

Only milestones published for an eligible audience should appear to that audience. Creator-only records are not made public by default.

Signed-in eligible members can submit comments on public milestones. Those submissions pass through the applicable approval process.

Authorized moderation controls govern approval and removal of submitted comments according to the site rules.

The active verified plan controls new actions and allowances. Do not assume an unverified upgrade immediately raises your limits.

Public inquiry routes and private member messaging are separate. Private conversations require the applicable member account and messaging permissions.

Yes, through enabled and permission-checked conversation tools. An individual creator may limit who can start conversations or send media.

The member-messaging workflow accepts up to six supported media attachments per message, subject to file validation and site limits.

The current attachment validation accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and HEIF images, subject to actual browser and server support.

The current workflow allows MP4, MOV, or WebM video and MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, or WebM audio, subject to validation and available playback support.

Current message validation sets 12 MB for images, 25 MB for audio, and 100 MB for video. A hosting or PHP upload limit can be lower and may stop an upload first.

The default short-media duration is 29 seconds; an authorized setting may permit 59 seconds for an eligible use. Reaction videos have a 29-second limit.

No. Private message attachments stay governed by conversation access and reuse consent. Publication requires the relevant authorization and approval.

Only through a workflow that records the necessary release consent and publication permissions. Sending a video privately is not blanket permission to publish it.

The member-media permission workflow records consent decisions and changes, including an audit trail. Previously distributed third-party copies may be outside the site’s direct control.

Private conversations are not a public member-to-member feed. Authorized safety and moderation reviews can have separate restricted access.

Use the available private help or safety route so an authorized administrator can review the issue. Do not share sensitive message content on a public page.

The described plans include one standard available .com and managed hosting. Premium domains, eligibility, and contractual conditions must be checked with NOVALARIC.

Domain availability cannot be guaranteed. Consider an available alternative or discuss an existing domain transfer with the provider.

Yes. Retaining an external domain or host is an approved option; the published plan price does not automatically change when you keep them.

The customer retains domain ownership. Ensure registrar contact details and renewal responsibilities reflect the agreed arrangement.

No. An existing site or domain transition requires authorization and a confirmed migration plan. Do not discontinue the existing service prematurely.

The approved managed-transition offer describes an additional 12 months for eligible transfers into NovaCat management. Eligibility and exact service terms must be confirmed before relying on it.

Yes, a switch can be requested later; it remains subject to practical migration steps, domain access, and the provider’s terms.

Redirects and preservation of existing links require a planned migration. They should be tested on the specific site; they are not automatic for every external URL.

Installation should use the legitimate plugin and compatible WordPress environment. Domain-dependent links and integrations must be checked on that environment before launch.

The fundraising capability is reserved for verified middle and top plan entitlements. Entry-tier accounts do not gain it by merely opening a campaign URL.

The campaign workflow supports drafts as well as active, paused, funded, and closed states, with publication governed by permissions.

Campaign audience options include public, members, professional contacts, and private access, subject to the active site configuration and authorization.

Campaign records include a funding goal, currency, beneficiary, and optional start or end timing fields.

No local NovaCat campaign cart processes cards. A campaign can use a configured secure external checkout provider URL.

No. A visit or pledge is not proof of payment. Campaign totals should reflect confirmed contribution records, with reconciliation where applicable.

Refunds and reconciliation statuses affect contribution reporting. The payment provider’s records and applicable policies remain important.

Only promise benefits that are authorized and deliverable. NovaCat does not itself establish a campaign’s tax-deductible or charitable status.

The workflow includes a paused state, controlled by the applicable campaign permissions.

A credit should have credible supporting information. NovaCat presentation fields do not independently prove that a production or professional association is genuine.

You may prepare accurate upcoming-work information, but publication must respect confidentiality, embargoes, contracts, and permissions.

Yes, when the project record, media rights, and your stated role are accurate and approved for display.

Supported identity and public-link fields can connect approved external profiles. The external networks control their own content and availability.

No. Candidate search references need creator review; discovery alone does not verify identity, authorship, or permission to republish.

Do not approve it as your own. Use the available review and correction controls to exclude mismatched results.

Review the current My Online Footprint controls for clearing search input or results. Clearing local inputs should not be confused with deleting third-party search indexes.

Authorized editorial management controls allow supported changes to news records. Recheck publication status, attribution, and the live page after editing.

Yes, where those details are real and approved for public display. Do not publish another person’s private contact information without authorization.

No. Indexing depends on crawler access, site visibility, search-engine decisions, and time. Private pages should remain protected regardless of indexing.

Yes. The site provides responsive public and private views, touch navigation, and a mobile bottom menu; individual installations and devices still require actual visual and interaction testing.

The available Add to Home Screen experience is a browser-supported web app shortcut or installation, not a claim that a native iOS or Android store app is published.

Use your supported browser’s Add to Home Screen or Install option when offered. The steps vary by browser and operating system.

Browser installation eligibility, icon handling, and prompts are controlled partly by the device, browser, site manifest, and hosting configuration.

Mobile navigation is provided for authorized management sections. Touch targets, forms, and the actual installed site should be tested at phone widths before relying on mobile-only workflows.

The intended layout fits the viewport. If a specific page overflows, report the URL, device width, and element so the CSS or embedded content can be corrected.

No. Mobile browsers may require a user tap, restrict autoplay, or decline unsupported media formats.

Recording requires browser permission, a compatible device, and a secure context; availability also depends on the specific media workflow.

Check the file format, recording duration, actual file size, and server upload limit. Browser media support can differ by device.

Do not assume that messaging, uploads, account changes, and other server-side actions work offline. They require connectivity unless a specific offline feature says otherwise.

The Window groups the supported site management areas. Certain WordPress or external-service tasks may still require separately authorized administration.

Use the Representation / Rails area, with verified agency, manager, or contact information and appropriate permission.

Media Room and the relevant media records provide creation, review, and publishing controls appropriate to each asset type.

Do not share account credentials. Give the teammate an individual account with only the capabilities needed for their work.

No. WordPress roles and NovaCat permissions determine what a signed-in person may view or change. A member account does not inherit creator administration privileges.

Some workflows keep history or consent audit records. Do not assume every field in every integration has a universal edit-history view.

The Window reports events and saved metrics recorded by the site. They should not be represented as complete totals from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or other external platforms.

Empty metrics can mean no qualifying events were recorded or a required collection path is not configured. Do not fill gaps with fabricated numbers.

The demo is fictional and should not be published as real credentials, customers, reviews, or credited productions. Replace it with accurate approved creator information.

Where a supported record offers draft or visibility settings, use those controls to remove it from eligible public views while retaining the authorized source record.

No. NovaCat purchases and plan billing are centralized at novalaric.com/get-novacat-today.

Check the active NOVALARIC checkout and product terms. Prices shown in marketing or demonstrations may change and are not a substitute for the actual order.

No. The installed plugin checks the verified plan and associated order evidence; a selected label or submitted claim is not enough.

An authorized administrator verifies the associated NOVALARIC order or reference before paid entitlements are enabled.

Entitlement checks may restrict future actions to the available baseline capabilities. Retained records and access must be handled under the applicable site and service policies.

Consult the current NOVALARIC purchase agreement and support channel for eligibility and procedure. The installed plugin does not itself authorize or process plan refunds.

Standard available .com arrangements are described with the plans. Premium domain purchases, existing registrar fees, and special transfers can have different charges; confirm before ordering.

Use a private support or safety channel with the relevant page and symptoms. Avoid publicly posting passwords, verification codes, private attachments, or account tokens.

Use the site’s actual support or creator contact channels for account and content issues; use NOVALARIC for centralized purchase and service terms.

Use the Ask NovaCat link on this page with the feature, audience role, device, and question. The Q&A cannot truthfully anticipate every individual contract or technical circumstance.
