It has come to my attention that the plugin is no longer functional under WP 3.5. I am aware of the problem and working towards a resolution. Thank you for your patience. Stay tuned!
Thank you for working on a new version for 3.5 i am leaving a comment here so i am notified of updates to this thread
@Joseph, Are you by chance using this in combination with the “Disable Activation” plugin ?
Hi Steven yes i use that one so i would be using your plugin with it …. i have not yet tried your plugin but is a new feature hoping to have with your help thanks
What’s new in version 1.6.2
* Removes hooks from account sign-up and activation.
* Friendships are now created upon a new user’s first login.
* Resolves conflict with plugins such as “Disable Activation” that bypass the activation process.
Hi Steven,
I’m using the 1.6.2 version of your plugin and WP 3.5.1, but the new created users are not automatically added to the users I specified in options panel.
Here is a link to a screenshot of my options:

Hope you will be able to provide some help…
Best regards.
We’re using the Facebook Friends Inviter (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-friends-inviter/) and I’m trying to figure out how we could automagically make any of the friends that the user has invited from Facebook, now become friends on Buddypress.
Any ideas?
Hi Steven
I would really like to use this plugin, is it ok to use it with the latest versions of BuddyPress and WordPress?
Cheers
Tim
@Tim — This should not be a problem. I’ve tested it locally using WordPress 3.6beta2 with BuddyPress 1.7.1. If you are worried about testing a new feature in a production environment, I’d highly recommend setting up either a localhost or a staging server that mirrors the real site. This would allow you do testing without the worry of causing problems for your users.
Thanks Steven, I haven’t got any users yet so I’m safe for now but I will bear that in mind for the future!
Hi Steven
Next dumb noob question…!
What is the user id? Ive tried the user name but it doesn’t seem to work.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks
Tim
@Tim — Not a bad question at all. My next major update to this plugin will address this issue. I want to make it so you can use usernames in the future. For now, the best way to find a user id (always numeric) is by going to WP-Admin => Users => All Users. This will take you to a screen with all of your users listed. The very first account you created (most people use admin) has a user ID of 1. For all other users, find the user you want to identify and click on their name. This will take you to the edit user page. If you check the URL address on this page, you will see something like this: http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=2. In this example, “2″ is the user id. This is a bit more complicated than I’d like, but should get you were you need to go until I can roll out an update. Good luck!
Thank Steve, it worked with one of my profiles but not the other, for some reason this URL doesn’t seem to have an ID in it?
…./wp-admin/profile.php?wp_http_referer=%2Fwelcome%2Fwp-admin%2Fusers.php%3Fdelete_count%3D1%26update%3Ddel
@Tim — Try /wp-admin/users.php instead of /wp-admin/profile.php
The latter is a page for the current users profile while the former is a listing of all the users. If it is the very first account you created in WordPress, the user ID is most likely ’1′.
Hi,
Is it possible to add Auto accept for all users rather than writing each user ID?
Hello,
I need to know is it possible to add facebook friend as a follower. Would there be any way to automatically, or with one click, follow all your facebook friends that are also using your buddypress service in my site?
