    Hi,
    Thank you for the question.

    Please try using BuddyPress Friendship Restrictions plugin.

    Hello brajesh,

    I meant “FOLLOWING” , not friendship

    ….
    The suggested plugin does not limit following

    Hello bro @tosin

    Thanks,

    I wonder why something that generic doesn’t exist yet

    —
    But I trust brajesh would look into it nonetheless

    Hi,
    I am sorry, I missed that.

    Since there is currently no official Follow plugin for BuddyPress, we don’t have this feature. Let us hope that it changes soon in near future.

    Regards

    I am sorry, that plugin has not been updated for last 6 years and we won’t be able to invest time in it.

    Regards
    Brajesh
