Member Preferences

Beyond the site-wide switches a site owner sets in Configuration, each member controls whether their own forum actions post to the activity stream. These per-member options appear inside PeepSo’s profile preferences (added through the peepso_profile_preferences filter) under a Forum Activity Settings group.

Option Shown when Stored as user meta
Add activity when new forum is created Site forum activity is on and the member can publish_forums peepso_wbpbi_enable_bbpress_forum_activity
Add activity when new topic is created Site topic activity is on and the member can publish_topics peepso_wbpbi_enable_bbpress_topic_activity
Add activity when new reply is created Site reply activity is on and the member can publish_replies peepso_wbpbi_enable_bbpress_reply_activity

An option only appears if the matching site-wide activity switch is enabled and the member’s bbPress role grants the matching capability. The group is hidden entirely if none of the three apply.

These per-member switches are turned on for existing users at plugin activation, and are re-enabled when a user registers or is created. As a result, activity posting is on by default for members unless they opt out.

Note: the routine that enables these defaults iterates over all users on the site each time a user registers. On very large communities this can be slow. See Troubleshooting.

Members can also toggle the two forum notification types (“Someone creates a topic in a subscribed forum” and “Someone replies to a subscribed topic”) in their PeepSo notification alerts. See Notifications.
