This is a five year old topic, but stil unsolved.
Help is appreciated, can anyone in here figure out why the code is not working?

How to make subject field in private messages isn’t required?

I did not test this but go into the theme folder members/single/messages/compose.php
find this:

<input type=”text” name=”subject” id=”subject” value=”<?php bp_messages_subject_value(); ?>” />
change it to this:
<input type=”hidden” name=”subject” id=”subject” value=”private message” />
