The UsersWP Followers plugin is a premium extension for the UsersWP framework, designed to add social-media-style “Follow” functionality to your WordPress site. It is built to be lightweight, avoiding the bloat often associated with larger community plugins like BuddyPress.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Follow/Unfollow System: Enables users to follow each other with a single click, similar to the Twitter (X) model.
Automatic Profile Tabs: Upon activation, the plugin automatically adds two new tabs to user profiles:
Followers: Lists all users following the profile owner.
Following: Lists all users the profile owner is following.
Shortcode Support: Includes the [uwp_follow_user] shortcode. This can be used to place a follow button anywhere, such as on a custom author page or within a GeoDirectory listing.
Real-Time Notifications: When used in tandem with the UsersWP Real-Time Notifications add-on, users receive instant alerts (on-site or via email) when they get a new follower.
Activity Stream Integration: Works with the UsersWP Activity add-on to display “follow” actions in the global or user-specific activity feeds.
Form Builder Compatibility: You can manage, rename, or reorder the Followers/Following tabs via the UsersWP Form Builder (UsersWP > Form Builder > Profile Tabs).
Lightweight Build: Designed for high performance with minimal server resource usage.
Page Builder Ready: Fully compatible with Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and Oxygen.
Privacy & Moderation: Includes controls for users to manage their privacy and options for administrators to block or report users.
Developer Friendly: Extensible via hooks and filters; uses standard PHP templates that can be overridden in a child theme.
Compatibility:
Requires the core (free) UsersWP plugin.
Translation-ready and supports RTL (Right-to-Left) languages.
GDPR compliant (supports user data export/deletion).
