Hide/restrict access to Private Messaging

Hi

I would appreciate some guidance re. programmatically restricting access to Private Messaging to paid subscribers (using the WooCommerce and Groups plugins).

Any pointers as to where in the BuddyPress codebase to look would be appreciated.

you would add something like this to your theme’s functions.php
```
function bp_disable_messaging() {
	global $bp;
	
	if ( USER_TO_DISALLOW && bp_is_current_component('messages') ) {
		wp_redirect( home_url() );
		exit();
	}
}
add_action('wp','bp_disable_messaging');
```
Note: USER_TO_DISALLOW would be your unpaid WooCommerce users. You would need to get whatever this was from WooCommerce as I’m not familiar with the plugin. Once you’ve added that bit in the code should work.

Don’t include the global if you aren’t going to use it.

@shanebp – oops thanks for pointing that out. global $bp; can be removed

Thank you very much. The code worked nicely, removing both the button and the functionality.
