BuddyPress Friendship Restrictions v1.2.1

BuddyPress Friendship Restrictions adds rule based control to friend requests in BuddyPress and BuddyBoss communities. By default, any registered member can add anyone else, which leads to spam, irrelevant contacts and staff accounts getting flooded. This plugin lets you define who can send and receive requests by role or member type. It replaces custom code snippets with a clear settings panel that applies rules instantly across your site.

You can use it to shape dating sites, school networks, membership communities and private client portals where only relevant members should connect. It works on top of BuddyPress and BuddyBoss Platform and respects BuddyPress Member Types for precise rules. Day to day, you can keep instructors separate from students, keep shop managers and admins out of the social graph, cap mass adding and show clear notices when a request is blocked.

Download Latest GPL Version of BuddyPress Friendship Restrictions

This GPL package is ideal for staging tests before you enforce rules on a live community. Install it on LocalWP or a subdomain, create test accounts with different roles and member types, then try sending and receiving friend requests to confirm blocks, limits and custom notices work as expected. This keeps member connections safe from errors. For live client portals or schools, an official license is the right choice for updates and support.
