OK, I can add users to a group. Thanks for that. But now I am very confused about the process.
I am using Buddy Press and bbPress and perhaps I shouldn’t be using both, but I need some guidance here.
Having added members to a group, I go to the forum and click on Members and I see a list of members with an “Add Friend” or “Cancel Friendship Request” next to each member. I have clicked on Add Friend and some (but not all) of the members I added as a friend got an email that said “Bob Jones wants to add you as a friend… click here.” When the “friend” clicked the link, he gets and error message: “There was a problem accepting that request. Please try again.”
So I am stuck here. I cannot get people into the group and the process seems to require way too many steps… create WP user, invite friend… wait for acceptance (which doesn’t work)… invite to join group… wait some more… TOO MANY STEPS. How do I make this SIMPLE?
