    Hi,

    Thanks for developing such fantastic plugin and kind helps!

    I just found an issue about the plugin: BuddyPress Message Privacy(BuddyDev). The version is 1.0.7. Seems like if I activated this plugin, even friendship established, it still can’t send private messages successfully. It always shows “Message can not send. Please enter the recipient”. Actually I already typed in the username of recipient.

    The code snippet I used to change the default settings to “Friends Only” is:

    add_filter( ‘bpdmp_default_settings’, ‘buddydev_set_message_privacy_default’);
    function buddydev_set_message_privacy_default( $settings ) {

    $settings[‘privacy_type’] =’friends_only’;

    return $settings;
    }

    The WordPress version I’m using is WP v4.6.1, BuddyPress v2.7.2.

    Could you check this issue for me please?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Dandy,
    Please upgrade to 1.0.8(It was updated a few months ago) and then let me know if it causing any issue. I tested with BuddyPress 2.7.2, BuddyPress Message Privacy 1.0.8 and WP 4.6.1 and with the above code in my bp-custom.php, It is working as expected.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi, Brajesh

    Thanks a lot for checking that for me. My apologies that I didn’t check the latest version of the plugin. I will upgrade to that version and try again.

    Thanks again.

    Hi, Brajesh

    I tried the latest version of plugin (v1.0.8). Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work and shows the error message like below:

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Dandy,
    That is very strange as the message is from BuddyPress and not by the Message privacy. message Privacy shows the message like

    The Message to following recipients could not be sent: name, etc.. Their privacy option does not allow it.

    Are you using the username in message compose box? Yes, Please send me a link and a demo user.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Thank you.
    I see that you have spaces allowed in username. It may be one of the reasons.

    Can you please disable Message Privacy and post here. We haven’t tested message privacy with username compatibility, so need to know that.

    Thank you

    No problem.

    Yeah, maybe it’s one of the reasons. I already disabled Message Privacy plugin.

    Let me know if anything else you need me to do.

    Thank you very much.

    Thank you. Just tested again. Yes, the issue is when you have the plugin enabled. Most probably it is due to the username compatibility.

    Please allow me a few hours to look at it and I will report back.

    Thank you
