Ultimate Member - Friends

This plugin gives members a way to build and manage connections on an Ultimate Member-powered site. They can send friend requests and accept or reject requests from others. Profile tabs display friends and pending requests, while profile cards in member directories and individual profiles can include a button for sending a request.

Members can limit profile visibility to their friends, and profiles can show follower and following statistics. Email notifications inform users when they receive a request or when one is accepted. The extension also works with Ultimate Member’s Notifications, Private Messages, and Social Activity extensions, including options to limit messages and visible activity to friends.
