Ever wished to give your users the control of private messages. Have you wondered how facebook and other social networks allow users to have fine grained control over who can send the message ? Want to give your Users full control over their private message.
Well, Here I am presenting you the BuddyPress Message Privacy Plugin. BuddyPress Message Privacy plugin will give your users complete control over who can send a private message to them.
Features:-
- Each user can control Who can Message Him/her
- A User can opt for receiving message from everyone, friends only or specify a custom list of users from whom he want to receive messages
- Users can create custom list for other users who can send him/her message
- Users can create custom blacklist of users who will never be able to send him/her the message
- Super Admin can always send message to anyone
I hope, that tells a lot about the plugin. Let us see the settings page for more details:-
Screenshots:-
Users Privacy settings Screen
As you can see from the first screenshot, The user can opt for one of the three privacy level. In addition to that, A user can create a list of white listed users/blacklisted users. The allowed users will always be able to send him/her a message regardless the settings.
Same goes for the banned Users. Regardless of the privacy level, if a user is listed in the banned list, they won’t be able to message him/her.

When you’re hot, you’re hot. Thanks for the new plugin Brajesh
Thank you Mercime
Just trying to be more productive after the last couple months of dull time
Does this work for BP1.3? Hope so, it’s an awesome plugin! Good work!
Hi Mike,
In default setup of bp 1.3, It will work, but it needs an update for the setup when bp components are used in hierarchical page(like site.com/social/members/membername).
Have you tested it with the just-released BP 1.5 yet? Will you be updating it to work on hierarchical pages, too?
Awesome stuff brajesh!! Always making great stuff for us
I would love the ability for my members to send attachments to each other via PM’s as well. Lots of my members want to send the odd private pic to each other.
Thank you Reboot.
very nice suggestion about message attachment. It is doable but I am concerned about privacy. We can send the image as attachment. But if it is viewable on web(say site.com/abc/imagefilename) then It is also viewable to unknown people(The only protection is that other’s don’t know this url). How would you like to go about that ? Should we send it just as attachment downloadable but not viewable online ?
Yeah privacy would be strongly wanted by my members, so downloadable would be best do as not to be visible online or caught by spiders.
YES !!
Send pictures with messages, that´s what my users say too !!!!!
Is there no way to put picture´s direct into the message? show the picture in a thumbnail and when you klick get the picture to download would be so nice
Hi Brajesh,
nice Plugin !!! Thank you !
Please do the following !
In the List of Blog-User ( the other list too)
would be very nice with ajax, so when i type in the types from the name, a list should show me the right name oft a userm because, i have the problem, my useres write a wrong name in the list and block the wrong user
would be nice, when a ajax pop up and show the right name und a little avatar of the user to choose
i know you can do this for us !
thank YOU !
Can we have this control over groups – select my groups from where you can receive messages. Basically this means that I would like to get email from users of that particular group
Hi Gwu,
sorry, it is only for users/friends restriction at the moment. When I am updating for bp1.3, I will certainly consider your suggestion.
Will this work with BP 1.2.9? Just curious – as I would like to use the enhanced privacy.
Indeed it does! The current version works well with bp 1.2.9 and I have a version ready for BuddyPress 1.5 too but I am unable to upload because I am struck with very bad connectivity for last 2 days.
Can’t wait to try out the new version for 1.5. This is a must have my for my type of site!
Hi Mike,
Updated. Please check the updates here
