Introduction #

Seemingly many features within one configuration page. This is because they all refer to options that can be found in the postboxes across the PeepSo plugin.

The entire page is divided into eight (8) different panels

1. General
2. Links & Embeds
3. Hashtags
4. Post backgrounds
5. GIPHY
6. Polls
7. Moods
8. Mentions

Links & Embeds Panel #

Link Previews

• Load link previews

  • Disabled: no attempts to fetch links will be made
• Prefer a smaller thumbnail – Show a smaller link preview thumbnail on a wide viewport (more than 480 pixels) to save space
• Allow non-SSL embeds – Enables non-SSL (http://) link fetching. This can lead to “insecure content” warnings if your site is using SSL
• Prefer previews with images (BETA) – If no img tag is detected in the fetched result, PeepSo will attempt alternative methods to obtain a link preview
• Fallback to img tag (BETA) – If no viable thumbnail is provided by the target, PeepSo will attempt to use the first img tag from the page source.
• Refresh previews (BETA) – If enabled PeepSo will periodically refresh URL previews. This might cause some posts to load slower when refreshing. Use this option especially if you recently changed the static images option

WordPress embeds #

• Defines the minimum thumbnail resolution for stream posts. Available options are: Let WordPress decide, 500 px, 1000 px, 1500 px (default), 2000 px, 2500 px, and 3000 px.

Hashtags Panel #

• Enabled – When enabled users are able to post hashtags on a post.
• Update post count in tags – Deleted and edited posts are checked periodically to update post counts for each hashtag. A smaller delay means more database load.
• Process – How many posts and hashtags to process in a single page load. Bigger batches mean faster updates but generate a higher load.
• Delete empty hashtags – When enabled, hashtags with zero posts will be deleted and not shown in the widget or suggestions. Hashtags with zero posts can occur when posts are deleted or edited.

Advanced

• Allow non-alphanumeric hashtags – This feature is currently in BETA and should be used with caution.
