Default notification settings for new users

Starting from 3.0.0.0, Administrator can decide whether On-site and E-mail notifications are ON or OFF by default for new members. You can set that in the backend of your site. Navigate to WP Admin -> PeepSo -> Configuration -> Notifications

The administrators can control the default email notification intensity setting for new users. This is especially useful if you donโ€™t want your community to spam the users too much unless they explicitly say so. Setting it to something like โ€œ1 hourโ€ as default might be a good starting point.

Available notification setting: #

  • Posts and comments
    • Someone commented on a Post
    • Someone liked my Post
    • Someone liked my Comment
    • Someone replied to my Comment
    • Someone shared my Post
  • Profile
    • Someone liked my Profile
    • Someone wrote a post on my Profile
  • Mentions
    • Someone mentioned me in a post
    • Someone mentioned me in a comment
  • Messages
    • Someone sent me a new Message
  • Friends
    • Someone sent me a Friend Request

Post following & notifications #

  • Notify post followers about reactions – decide whether the post followers should be notified about new reactions.
  • Automatically follow posts –ย  control whether a post should be auto-followed by a non-author when one of these actions is performed: reaction, comment, post save.

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.

Disable All E-mail Notifications for a Single user #

Administrators can disable ALL e-mail notifications for a given user. You can set that in the backend of your site.
Navigate to WP Admin -> Users
Click Edit user you want to disable their E-mail notifications and then find: Unsubscribe this user from all e-mail notifications
Click, and that user will have their e-mail notifications disabled.

This setting does NOT affect any onsite notifications.
