 * Is it possible to disable the automatic friend request that’s sent out once someone
   accepts an invitation? As soon as a new account is verified, an email goes out
   requesting friendship from the person that sent the invitation.
 * Not sure if this is a function of this plugin or BuddyPress. I’m not seeing an
   obvious way of controlling this. Anyone know how to turn it off?
 * Thanks.

 * Put the following in your theme’s functions.php, or your bp-custom.php:
 * `add_filter( 'invite_anyone_send_friend_requests_on_acceptance', '__return_false');`
