It actually appears to be a component in buddypress now apparently, so in the wordpress admin dashboard click on your installed plugins. Then under buddypress, click settings and then check friend connections and then save settings.
Also if you would like to connect with me on social media as you said before, I am trying to grow my LinkedIn profile as I’m currently looking for a job. So unless the link gets removed, it is below: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-bell-487a69295/
buddypress already has a similar feature, it’s called bp friends, I can’t remember if it’ a standalone plugin, or if it’s its own plugin, but I also use that on my site. With the friends plugin, you can friend, and the user has to accept the friend request (which friends them back). This plugin also has support I believe with rtmedia’s privacy levels where you can friend people and then set post privacy levels so that only your friends can see the activity. (I might have made that functionality myself though, I can’t remember, I’ve written a lot of code). With the followers plugin, it’s just like regular followers where you would follow them and they don’t have to follow you back, and the user gets a following activity feed. that’s why I have both.
I setup a fork of the original github repo, I can’t guarantee it 100% works, especially like with following blogs and stuff like that as I haven’t tested that throughly. I also haven’t tested it with legacy themes. However, for regular following and for the following activity filters in bp_noveau etc… it should work.
Yea, so I use the same plugin and the plugin is old and doesn’t work with the latest versions of buddypress by default. I had to modify it. I believe the load text just in time is just a warning though, the fatal error I had was with the sql queries, it worked for me without fixing the warnings. When I get home, I might be able to share some code.
