The BuddyPress Compliments plugin lets BuddyPress members interact with each other via compliments.
You can create an unlimited number of Compliment types. A Compliment button and Compliments tab are displayed in each member’s profile. Submitted compliments will be visible in the user’s compliments section.
The integration works and requires the BuddyBoss Platform installed and activated on your website.
BuddyBoss Platform is a fork and forge of the BuddyPress plugin and bbPress plugin. Any plugin developed for the BuddyPress and bbPress plugin is supported by the BuddyBoss Platform.
You do NOT need to install the BuddyPress plugin or the bbPress plugin separately. BuddyBoss Platform acts as a replacement for both the plugins.
