Hello Emanuele,

Please try the following code. It will add all other users with the same member type add as friends.

/**
 * Add as friend other user with same member type on user member change.
 */
add_action( 'bp_set_member_type', function ( $user_id, $member_type ) {

    $users = new BP_User_Query(
        array(
            'member_type'     => $member_type,
            'populate_extras' => false,
        )
    );

    if ( ! $users->total_users ) {
        return;
    }

    foreach ( $users->user_ids as $id ) {

        if ( $id == $user_id ) {
            return;
        }

        if ( ! friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $id ) ) {
            friends_add_friend( $id, $user_id, true );
        }
    }
}, 10, 2 );

Please do let me know if it works or not.

Hi Emanuele,
You are right. It would do so for all member types.

Here is the code that only targets the ‘partner’ member type

/**
 * Add as friend other user with same member type on user member change.
 */
add_action( 'bp_set_member_type', function ( $user_id, $member_type ) {

	if ( 'partner' !== $member_type ) {
		return;
	}

	$users = new BP_User_Query(
		array(
			'member_type'     => $member_type,
			'populate_extras' => false,
		)
	);

	if ( ! $users->total_users ) {
		return;
	}

	foreach ( $users->user_ids as $id ) {

		if ( $id == $user_id ) {
			return;
		}

		if ( ! friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $id ) ) {
			friends_add_friend( $id, $user_id, true );
		}
	}
}, 10, 2 );

Hi Emanuele,
Thank you for the reply.

1. Please use the updated code. There was a bug in the previous snippet.

/**
 * Add as friend other user with same member type on user member change.
 */
add_action( 'bp_set_member_type', function ( $user_id, $member_type ) {

	if ( 'partner' !== $member_type ) {
		return;
	}

	$users = new BP_User_Query(
		array(
			'member_type'     => $member_type,
			'populate_extras' => false,
		)
	);

	if ( ! $users->total_users ) {
		return;
	}

	foreach ( $users->user_ids as $id ) {

		if ( $id == $user_id ) {
			continue;
		}

		if ( ! friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $id ) ) {
			friends_add_friend( $id, $user_id, true );
		}
	}
}, 10, 2 );

2. The above code is independent of the Friendship Pro plugin. It will work with any rules.

Hello Emanuele,

Please provide temporary access to your admin as well guest access of your staging site so that I can check what is going on there.
