Yes i copied from the email you sent me

Ok, boss i would wait.

1- i knw i 30000000 is over 50 years

2 i know it works when i set it to 30mins.

3 i want to now if it could be on forever.. Each user should only be able to send just the set amount for friend request forever.. For example.. A user should only send just 1 friend request for ever ( no time duration) jst for ever.. Till i turn it off

4 if number 3. Can not be done, then what is the highest time period i can set??
….

5- ok, it does not automatically accept friend request .. So i set it to count by request, But their is no request count.. I cant find any where to view the request count?? .. I can only see the request on notifications..

But cant find any count increasing or decreasing when i test to send request from dummy accts

Or could it be my theme problem i use kelly theme.. Or maybe its cos i use buddypress noveau? ..could it be why im not seeing the notices aswell?

Ild wait till evening for your response

…
-happy new year btw

this No. of Friends & Friendship Request Sent & Received ..in this pic https://i.postimg.cc/kggWrLsK/msg-3-not-work.png

i dunno but doesnt it mean ..if a user sends.. then the friendship count would automaticcally increase by 1 friend? whether or not the reciever of the request chooses to accept the request or not? ..well it does not work: https://i.postimg.cc/fWHw2FV6/friendsss-screnshot-counf.png .. i sent a request to that dummy account .. but no friends count increased.

—
i basically want to speed adding of the new recruits up .. i.e one the recruiter(the one who invited) sends friend request ..the friends count would automatically increase … wether or not the reciever of the request chooses to accept the request or not .. – since the friendship is already limited..then no need to wait for acceptance of requests.

or is there a code to automatically accept friend requests? .. a code i could add to bp-custom.php?
