New Release: PeepSo & Gecko 3.4.0.4

RTL language improvements, new targeting solution for Advanced Ads, small fixes and quality of life improvements.

What’s new?

Advanced Ads: target by country

We have added support for the country profile field in Advanced Ads Visitor Conditions. This lets you show/hide ads based on the country selected by the user. Additionally, this change implements all custom profile fields that meet the instanceof PeepSoSelectFieldSingle condition (in case you added your own fields with custom code).

Groups improvements

Group managers will now receive all relevant member-related notifications (join request, join notification etc). These notifications were exclusive to the group owners until now. This way they can do their job of managing members more efficiently.

We also fixed some issues with Groups plugin JavaScript firing in profile tabs, interfering with performance, and in extreme cases (usernames being numbers) outright breaking some things.

Bug fixes

A scenario was discovered where user logging out in one tab of his browser would still generate AJAX load in another tab, because the notifications/chat long polls would still run in the background. We made sure these are stopped once lack of a valid session is detected.

Third party compatibility

We have fixed an issue with All In One SEO Plugin causing known conflicts with the Bricks Builder and SeedProd landing page builder, and improved the WPAdverts flow related to paid ads being published to stream before payment was confirmed.

Gecko & other improvements

The registration UI now works better when set as a Gecko landing page. We also improved the way User Limits is rendered on wide layouts and fixed the “hide sidebars” option not kicking in in single blog post view.

As always, a full changelog can be found here.

Reminder: PHP 7.3 and WordPress 5.5 are now required

Just in case you missed the 3.4.0.0 release blog: We have further discontinued support for older PHP and WordPress versions, and PeepSo 3.4.x now requires PHP 7.3 and WordPress 5.5. We recommend PHP 7.4 and WordPress 5.7.
