    In testing the plugin, the page refreshes on clicking “send message” even if all of the fields haven’t been filled out.

    So there’s no message to say “Subject is A Mandatory Field” and all other details the user has entered were lost.

    Likewise when a message is successfully sent, the user has no way of knowing this is the case.

    Hi Barry,
    Thank you for using the plugin.

    I am sorry, we used bp_core_add_notice which adds notice in the member header for most of the theme(It depends on a hook).

    I am releasing an update today to have an option in the admin where you can enable it inside the tab content.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Barry,
    Please upgrade to 1.0.8.

    It will fix the issue.

    Hi Rajesh,

    I updated, but I’m not seeing the option you mention. What is it called/where is it located?

    Hi Barry,
    I decided going against options. Instead, I tested with did_action() and added the template notice action to our form template if it was not already used. Please try submitting the form and let me know if the feedback is visible now.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Brajesh,

    I’m not getting any feedback. If the form is filled out fully, the page refreshes and the message is sent (but there’s no indication of this on the page)

    If the form is not fully filled out the page refreshes the same as above but the message isn’t sent and there is no indicator that it wasn’t sent.

    Hi Barry,
    I a sorry for the inconvenience. Is there any chance that you had copied the template for form from the plugin to your theme or child theme?

    I have a number of Buddypress templates overwritten in my child theme. None from this plugin though.

    Could you tell me the specific file/path that would affect this?
