Auto Follow connects new members to chosen profiles when they sign up. For example, every new member can follow the site's news profile, so its updates are in their timeline from the start.
ACP > Modules > Profiles > Auto Follow
In Global Config:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Select Profiles | The profile IDs, comma separated, such as 1,3,5 |
| Followed | New members follow those profiles |
| Following | Those profiles follow new members |
| Notify | Those profiles are notified when followed (default: off) |
| Approve | The follows need the profiles' approval (default: on) |
Tools > Add Missing Followers creates the same follows for existing members.
