I do not see how I can send a FRIEND request to another member. My site is eventfulsandiego.com.

When logged-in, simply visit the Members Directory or the member’s Profile and click “Add Friend”.

EDIT: remember to also make sure “Friends” is enabled under “Buddypress” > “Component Setup” in your WordPress backend.

Perhaps my question should have been more basic. I am new with buddypress and wordpress, so please forgive my painful learning curve. I have 130 subscribers yet I only show 2 “members.” How do I set up buddypress to make each subscriber a member. My site is at eventfulsandiego.com. Thank you so much for your help. And by the way, I did see a send friend request to my other member.

I just tried creating an account on your site and believe I’ve found the cause of the discrepancy between subscribers and members: no activation email is received so folks simply cannot activate their accounts.

Check with your hosting provider to ensure that your email accounts are set up correctly for WordPress (Buddypress uses the same email routines as WP).
