Currently when someone registers they have automatic friend requests in Friends-Requests space, from everyone already registered.
Never seen this in BuddyPress. Do you use some friendship or social plugins ? What is your theme?
Im running Kleo I do have some plug ins perhaps there are the ones causing this, but that would make no sense at all, so this is not a standard thing on BPress?
No, that’s not a BuddyPress standard behave. Frienships are made by request, and not automatically for each new registered user.
If you don’t give the list of used plugins, nobody will help you to resolve the “perhaps”.
ok thanks it must be one of the plugins then.
I have the following active at the moment:
Adminimize
AG Custom Admin
Agreeable
Better Search Replace
BP Login Redirect
BP Profile Search
Buddypress – Who clicked at my Profile?
BuddyPress Cover Photo
BuddyPress Members only
BuddyPress Real Names
Custom Login URL
Email Login
K Elements
MAYO – Login Screen
Revolution Slider
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
TM Replace Howdy
WPBakery Visual Composer
WPi Custom Logout
Go Daddy Quick Setup
None of them seem to deal with friend requests.
Seems you have to debug your installation by reverting back to a standart install of WP+BP only.
Ensure also you don’t use any custom function in your child-theme functions.php or in /plugins/bp-custom.php
Activate 2015 or 2013 theme, deactivate all plugins except BP.
When things went fine, reactivate the plugins one by one. Maybe this will help you isolate a culprit.
