Connect members without Buddypress

I had buddypress installed since January with constant Apache errors (hosted with Godaddy), so I finally deleted BP and have had no issues since then.

SO, is there any way or any plugins that would allow members to connect via in web emails or becoming “friends” without buddypress? I can’t go back to it; brutal and annoying.

I’d love your thoughts!

Hmm… I don’t know other social plugins for WP other than BuddyPress, but I haven’t really looked either. I’d suggest you search the plugins directory or ask in a general WordPress forum so you get more people to see your question and give suggestions.

I found one, WP Symposium, but as soon as I tried it… I started getting the same errors! What a mess. It must be GoDaddy. So, I deleted that one too.

I’m wondering if there’s anything that’s NOT a full blown social network (as I’m clearly going to have issues) that will allow “lighter” connecting somehow. Maybe just being able to message each other or reading each others profiles and sending email outside of the site (just having their contact email listed).

Generally BuddyPress is the answer here. You can pick and choose what features you want with BuddyPress. I’d recommend asking about the errors you’re getting with BuddyPress on the BuddyPress Forums.

I have S2Member running with Buddy Press on WP install and it works fine and I have never received any errors like you mention… must be an install issue, conflict of plugins or the host
