Any help troubleshooting would be so appreciated. I’m at FavTrip.com and really trying to figure this all out. How to add users as friends automatically when a new person joins, how to create the groups I want or forums… Any help is appreciated, you can reach me there or at ohearn.thomas @ gmail.com

Thanks guys! I’m so excited to have got it actually IN there. It looked horribly screwed for the longest time and I’ve only been using WP for 3mos, not the sharpest when it comes to this, just an ex-infantry guy.

So thanks so much!

You’ll want to use Paul Gibbs’ Welcome Pack plugin for new users to have a bunch of default friends :

By default, Welcome Pack sends friend invites; to have the plugin auto-accept friend invitations, read this:

For your other questions, please post them on the forum.
