Re: Automatic matches based on interests
Maybe you could get it to work with two plugins:
First, install the auto-join-groups, but beware, I think it is still the old version (1.0) in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-join-groups/ and not the new one (1.1) which you can find here: http://brentandmary.net/2009/10/24/bn-auto-join-group-plugin/ I have tested it with BP 1.2 and WPMU 2.9.1.1 and it works. (It also works on WPMU 2.8.4 with BP 1.1.2)
You need to create groups that match your profile fields, wheter it is interests or location. Only ‘selectbox’ and ‘textbox’ type profile fields are supported. The plugin work backwards so all existing users will be connected to their corresponding group. Neat.
Then, I imagine, you can try some of the plugins that will email group members about updates.
