New Release: PeepSo 2.7.9 and Gecko 2.7.9.0


Another small, incremental update bringing some features and improvements that do not interfere with our background work on the major release of PeepSo 3.0.0 later this year.

What’s new?

The tighter PeepSo BlogPosts & Hashtags integration was extended with the ability to import Categories as Hashtags. WP Posts with no categories are always assigned a default category, so do not use this option if the post has no categories, unless you are happy with the default category being converted into a hashtag. We also added two new config options to always enable the tags and/or categories integrations when adding a new post, to streamline the publishing flow. The options do not apply when editing a post.

We fixed some minor bugs with the Mutual Friends widget not showing in all widget positions, updated the cropping library to improve mobile experience with avatar uploads, and renamed the “static” header to “sticky” header to avoid confusion about what that Gecko feature actually does.

A couple of years leading up to founding PeepSo, I was involved with JomSocial – a social networking extension for Joomla. Stepping up from the role of a contractor to a business owner, I became [PeepSo](https://PeepSo.com) founder and Chief Technology Officer. I strive to build beautiful, fast, and functional software that **empowers users to build their own digital tribes with full autonomy and freedom** often not available on mainstream social networking media. In 2022 I launched [EmeraldWP](https://EmeraldWP.com) which acts as an umbrella for my other projects such as ListoWP, Widget Shortcode Pro, and MomentsWP.
