UsersWP Friends

Many community and membership sites give users profiles but no simple way to connect with one another. UsersWP Friends fills that gap with a familiar friend system, similar to what people know from popular social platforms. Users send requests, and the people they invite can accept or reject them.

The plugin adds a Friends tab to each user profile, with subtabs for current friends, pending requests and sent requests. It works with the Notifications add-on, so users see alerts about new requests and responses on the site. Because the plugin is fully translatable, it can be localized for audiences who use other languages.

Features

• Send and receive friend requests: Users can invite others to connect and respond to invitations they receive, which gives your community a simple way to build personal networks on the site.
• Friends tab on profiles: A dedicated Friends section appears on each user profile, keeping all friend connections organized in one clear place.
• Friends, Pending and Sent subtabs: Subtabs show current friends, pending requests waiting to be accepted or rejected, and outgoing requests that are still awaiting approval.
• One-click unfriend option: The profile button toggles between Add Friend and Unfriend, so users can remove a connection quickly and keep control of their network.
• Notifications add-on integration: Works with the Notifications add-on to deliver alerts about new friend requests and user responses directly on your site.
• Translation ready: The plugin is fully translatable, so you can set up the friend features in the language your audience uses.
• Built for UsersWP: Designed to run alongside the UsersWP core plugin, so friend features fit into the profiles you already have.
• Filterable friend button: A hook lets developers filter the Friend and Unfriend button, which allows custom changes to how that button behaves on profiles.

Best for

• Membership sites that want members to connect
• Community sites already running UsersWP profiles
• Multilingual sites that need translatable social features
