Description
Invite adds an email invitation system that allows any registered member to generate a signup link and send it to friends, colleagues, or contacts to join the site’s community. It serves whoever manages a community, a forum, or a social network built on BuddyPress and wants to grow the user base through referrals among the members themselves, without depending solely on promotion on external networks or paid ads.
Main Features of Invite
- Email invitations
Lets each member send a signup invitation directly from their own profile. - Invitation limit
Allows configuring how many invitations each user can send within a period. - Referral tracking
Records who invited whom, useful for rewarding the most active members. - Customizable message
Lets you edit the invitation email text before it is sent. - Integration with BuddyPress
Connects the invitation directly to the BuddyPress community signup flow.
Benefits of Invite
- Organic growth

Prevents invitation spam by limiting how many each member can send at a time. - Engagement among members
Encourages those already in the community to bring people close to them into it. - Less promotion work

Who Is Invite Recommended For?
- Whoever manages a community or forum built with BuddyPress.
- Whoever manages a closed group that grows through referrals among members.
- Whoever maintains a niche social network and wants to reduce acquisition cost.
How to Download Invite
Invite is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the file, install it from the dashboard at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and turn on the invitation limits in the community settings.
Referrals among people who already trust the community tend to bring in more engaged people than paid ads, and automating this invitation removes the friction of explaining how to sign up. In niche social networks, this kind of word-of-mouth growth sustains the active base even when the promotion budget is small.
