    Hello Tosin,

    Please try the following code to hide public and private buttons based on user capability. Please follow the following url for more user capabilities.

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

    
function buddydev_hide_public_button( $r ) {

	if ( ! current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_public_message_button', 'buddydev_hide_public_button' );
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button_args', 'buddydev_hide_public_button' );

    Use this code in your “bp-custom.php file”

    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hello Brajesh,

    Thanks but I wasn’t referring to roles and capabilities but specific user ids

    Hello Tosin,

    For user ids, you can use the following code.

    
function buddydev_hide_public_button( $r ) {

	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return $r;
	}

	$restricted_user_ids = array( 5, 26, 10, 4 ); // Replace by yours user ids.

	if ( in_array( get_current_user_id(), $restricted_user_ids ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_public_message_button', 'buddydev_hide_public_button' );
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button_args', 'buddydev_hide_public_button' );

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hello,

    The code works when I deactivate this plugin (bp-profile-message-ux). This plugin is conflicting with your code https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-message-ux/ Is there any way you can make the code to be compatible with this plugin.

    Also, when I deactivate the BP PROFILE MESSAGE UX plugin your code still hides the public and private message buttons for all my users instead of only the specific ids I stated.
    This is the code im using

     /**
 * HIDE BUDDYPRESS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MESSAGE BUTTON FOR SPECIFIC USERS.
 */ 
 
 function buddydev_hide_public_button( $r ) {

	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return $r;
	}

	$restricted_user_ids = array( 2, 4766812, 4766806, 4766824, 4766786 ); // Replace by yours user ids.

	if ( in_array( get_current_user_id(), $restricted_user_ids ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_public_message_button', 'buddydev_hide_public_button' );
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button_args', 'buddydev_hide_public_button' );

    Thanks
