    Hello,

    Will your new plugin support the follow plugin with added privacy option for followers and following. This privacy option is needed for sites that have disabled the friendship component.

    Thanks

    Hi Tosin,
    Thank you for the question.

    Yes, we will. In fact, in our very next update(next week) we will be adding that.

    I just noticed that I don’t use the friendship component but the privacy option (My Friends) is being displayed, this privacy option is meant to be disabled since I don’t use friend component but follow plugin.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the feedback but I also think the (All members) privacy option should also be disabled while using the follow plugin or what do you think?

    so while follow plugin is activated
    privacy option (My friends) and (All members) should be disabled

    Hi Tosin,

    We will be releasing the update by Thursday that includes the support for follow plugin. We do plan to allow admins to select which privacy types will be visible in future. it may not be part of the next update though(e.g we will not remove All Members).

    Regards

    Hi Tosin,

    @ravisharma     has updated the plugin with follow support and fixed the friends option visibility issue. Please give it a try and let me know if it works or not?

    Hello Brajesh,

    Thanks for the new update I would suggest that you change the text (Persons I follow) to (Members I follow) since using member types, I have custom member types called business, organization and brand. I think using the world (Persons) would not represent or fit properly with this custom member types, but using the word (Members) is more generic.

    What are your thoughts if you think otherwise.

    Thanks

    Hi Tosin,
    Thank you for the suggestion.

    sure, I believe these are same and we don’t have any issue changing the label.

    We will update it in next update.

    Hi Tosin,
    We have released another update and it contains following changes:-

    1. You can control which levels are enabled
    2. You can control the default privacy level
    3. You can control if you want to enable users to set their default privacy or not?

    In future, we want to allow reordering the privacy levels in the dropdown. For labels, Please consider using the translation.

    Regards
    Brajesh
