In version 1.3.0, we focused on tweaking some of the features. These tweaks are important for future versions.
Groundwork Laid For One-Click Updates For All Plugins
We’ve started the process of preparing PeepSo for one-click updates. Instead of uninstalling then re-installing all the plugins, for future versions you’ll be able to just click the update link next to each plugin. Very simple.
This function will start working in the next version of PeepSo. This should be the last time you update manually. Please remember that this is still work in progress. It will look somewhat like this:
One click updates and upgrades for PeepSo and its plugins.
PeepSo’s Router Re-Written
Now that PeepSo has been out for a while, we have had reports of a few URLs and third party plugins not working well with PeepSo.
To improve the compatibility and stability of the plugins, we wrote the router. That should avoid issues with popular plugins like WPML which change the URL of the page by making additions like:
‘?lang=french’
This improvement is strictly under the hood. The only change you’ll see is the construction of the URLs. That’s usually just the addition of a question mark.
This is how the profile link appears in PeepSo 1.2.1:
http://sampledomain.com/profile/eric
And this is how the link appears in PeepSo 1.3.0:
http://sampledomain.com/profile/?eric
Three-State Friends Buttons
We also changed the behavior, look and feel of the action buttons on user profiles. Adding friends is now a three-state button with no modal confirmations needed. It’s all ajaxified too.
3-state friends buttons on user listings
Those action buttons have also been added to all user listings. You can see them on members pages, user profiles, and your friend list. The design is consistent to give users a feeling of confidence and to avoid confusion.
Styling Tweaks and More Changes To Profile Pages
We made a few minor changes to the profile pages:
- Blocking users has been moved to a ‘cog’ icon.
- Users can be banned from the front end by clicking the cog icon.
- To save space, we replaced the “Send Message” button with an envelope icon.
- We improved the look and feel of the modal window for sending messages.
- Square avatars
- Removed gray shadow stripe and added shadow for letters
We’ve made sure that PeepSo styling is consistent. That’s why we went with square and sharp edges over rounded corners and round avatars. If you feel like all square is not your thing, feel free to check out our documentation on how to override PeepSo CSS.
Bug Fixes
In addition to those design and functionality tweaks, we also fixed a number of bugs. You can see the full changelog here.
What, No Chat Plugin?
The chat plugin is almost ready. It just needs a few design tweaks and some testing. It will be released next. Watch out for it!
Upgrade PeepSo Now
To update to Version 1.3.0 you’ll have to un-install and re-install all the plugins.
No PeepSo?
The free core version is fantastic on its own. If you want to unlock the true potential of social networking for WordPress, get the other plugins today.

Comments? Questions?
Please leave them below.
I love what you guys are doing here! I am looking for three things only and I can completely design my site with you guys! Events with stripe integration integrated for the members to post their own events, ability to upload Audio only with thumbnail and one other thing. We can talk about later if these things are possible.
Can these be done or developed or possibly already on the way?? I completely willing to buy them if they are plugins too.
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your comment! At this point PeepSo doesn’t have the ability to add events, but it is on our roadmap and we will add that feature in the future. At this point, unfortunately, I can’t give you the exact timeline for it. First we need to release ChatSo next week and we need to get PeepSo Costomizable Profiles, Groups and after that we’ll have Events.
But please do know that the roadmap is not set in stone.
Kindest regards,
Eric Tracz
This is really moving forward and I’m thinking of opening some sites with it but do you have a groups plugin on your roadmap? So site members can create their own public or private group to post/share things with and allow members to join? Group members would not need to be friends with the group owner or other members which is what makes it different.
Hi,
Yes, groups are on our roadmap and we will start working on them, at this point we can’t promise a deadline. We need to complete 1.4.1 and work on Customizable Profiles.
Kindest regards,
Eric Tracz
The plugin is fully translated in French with all these addons translated and less expensive than 140 dollard why not 50 dollard a year is not bad already
Hi,
There is a French translation for PeepSo and its plugins: https://crowdin.com/project/peepso/ As for the price, right now we have a discount which allows you to get PeepSo and all of its plugins for $70. Look here: https://www.peepso.com/black-friday-2015/
