Description

bbPress Messages – Simple yet powerful private messaging system tailored for bbPress.

What’s New in 2.0?

Fully Optimized

Now bbPress Messages loads faster due to optimization and messages caching.

Background Schedules

For better experience and load time, now the tasks are processed in the background. Tasks that would take some time to finish such as email notifications, after send events, cleanup schedules and others.

Translation ready

Now you can use the languages files to translate bbPress Messages to your language. You can also contribute your translations and help translate this plugin.

Shortcodes

We’ve added couple shortcodes and rewrote older shortcodes, you can find out about shortcodes in the shortcodes tab in the settings page.

Widgets

We’ve redesigned the widgets for 2.0! Navigate to your dashboard and search for bbPM widgets now.

Other than that, bbPress Messages 2.0 is easy to extend, supports multisite installations, and we will be working on some free addons to extend its features and improve more. Please consult the project Github page https://github.com/elhardoum/bbp-messages to report a bug, contribute to the project or make suggestions.

If this is the first time you update, you should be migrating your older messages from the legacy database table to the new one. This could be done using the import tab in settings.

We will cover some free and premium addons to power group chats and other features, sign up for the newsletter to get notified.

More documentation coming soon..

Powerful Plugin

Simple but powerful plugin.

Does what it says and very happy with it as a developer

By jmslbam on August 7, 2017

I could customize the plugin via filters etc. Works good, so go ahead and install it. We translated the plugin ourself via PoEdit and we want to give that back.

Good product - does exactly what we need

By Paul Ginsberg (paulginsberg) on March 10, 2017

Couldn't find anything else doing allowing users to message each other and get notifications within BBpress so this is great. There are regular updates too and the author is supportive. Very handy! Thanks Samuel - very much appreciated!

Messages Upgrade

Translation impossible

By Jacques Malgrange (sojahu) on November 25, 2016

Works Fine but the text is written in hard. No translation possible. Not usable in my lang ! Too bad. Front-end-pm is a very good alternative.

Great bbPress Plugin!

By u_Oi (Arutam) on November 11, 2016

It is an awesome plugin! Thanks, and good luck...

Ahhh! Nice. Simple. Works.

By tonyhenrie on October 25, 2016

After trying a couple other plugins that didn't work, bbpress messages lite is great! Simple, easy, clean. I like it.
