Ultimate Member - Followers

This plugin adds social following to an Ultimate Member site. Members can follow other people and be followed in turn, giving them a way to keep up with the posts and activities of people they choose. Follow and unfollow controls appear on user profiles, while member directory cards can show follow controls and follower statistics for quick access.

Profile visibility settings let members restrict access to people who follow them or to people they follow. Email notifications can inform members when they gain a follower, and members can manage notification preferences from their account page. Sidebar widgets display follower and following lists, while role-based permissions let site administrators choose which roles can follow others and which roles can be followed.
