New Release: PeepSo 5.0.1.1

Small release of PeepSo Foundation only, focused on greater administrative control of post auto-following.

This release only ships PeepSo Foundation

There are no updates to Gecko or other PeepSo plugins – only the PeepSo foundation. This version of PeepSo Foundation is only compatible with the 5.0.1.0 version of PeepSo plugins and Gecko theme.

Admin control over auto-following posts

Based on feedback from our customers, we decided to give greater control over auto-following posts to the site administrators.

There are new settings in Admin > PeepSo > Configuration > Notifications that allow you control whether a post should be auto-followed by non-author when one of these actions is performed: reaction, comment, post save.

In previous versions of PeepSo the posts would always be auto-followed if user left a reaction or a comment and this was their first interaction with the post.

Starting with 5.0.1.1 auto-follow is also available upon post save and the admin can now define which actions (if any at all) are to trigger the auto-follow.

The same configuration area now lets you decide whether the post followers should be notified about new reactions.

Neither of the new settings applies to post owners, as they auto-follow their own posts (until unfollowed manually) and have a separate profile preference to control notifications about reactions.

I am a professional nerd with **over fifteen years of experience** in the field of Open Source web development. Before [PeepSo](https://PeepSo.com) I was a contractor and have helped build successful businesses around the world, including USA, UK, Germany, Indonesia, and Malaysia. 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 2023 we spun off a new company to launch [Awedesk](https://awedesk.com) – a complete ticket-based client support solution for WordPress. I also created [ListoWP](https://LIstoWP.com), a modern to-do plugin for WordPress which is now evolving into a project management tool.
