[Resolved] Problem with profile visibility plugin

    Hi

    I have just installed the profile visibility plugin.

    If a user has set “allow members to send me friend requests” to NO, all another user has to do is to copy the friend request URL from another user and change the username. Then the can continue to send friend requests and harass users regardless of the plugin.

    The plugin is not really preventing friend requests then.

    Please let me know how we might fix this. Many thanks.

    Hi Adam,
    Thank you for posting.
    The plugin was only hiding the friendship button. I have updated the plugin to block request via all methods now depending on the user preference.

    Please upgrade to 1.5.2 and it will be fixed.

    Thank you
    Brajesh
