BuddyPress Friendship Restrictions 1.2.1

The BuddyPress Friendship Restrictions plugin is a useful tool for managing user interactions and friendship-related features on a BuddyPress-powered site. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

1. Role-Based Restrictions: You can control which user roles are allowed to send or receive friendship requests. This is helpful in limiting the functionality based on user permissions, such as restricting certain user roles from initiating friendships.
2. Throttle Requests: The plugin allows you to set limits on how many friendship requests a user can send within a defined time period. This feature can help prevent spamming and control user behavior.
3. Friendship Limits: You can set a maximum number of friends a user can have on the site. This allows you to manage how large the user network can grow for each individual and keep the site balanced.
4. Extensibility: The plugin supports customization and extension through filters, allowing you to tailor it to your site’s unique needs.
5. Future Updates: There are plans to add more specific functionality, such as setting different friendship limits for individual user roles, offering more flexibility.

This plugin is particularly beneficial for sites that want to maintain control over social interactions, prevent abuse, and ensure a smooth user experience.
