Public messaging precision

  • Hi,

    Does public messaging imply that only people in the same group will see the message or that all BuddyPress users will (which would seem to be the case anyway if no group has been created)?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi, it’s all buddypress.

    On my site , I found the Public Message function to be pretty pointless for most users and disabled the profile page button. No one misses it.

    Hi,

    Indeed, messaging someone “publicly” does not make much sense if everyone and their mother can see the message, not just the specific group of people you intended it to.

    Now, how do you send a private message to several people at once? I guess I have to be “Friend” with each of them. From there is it enough to click on the username of one of them, then on the Private Message button and simply add in the Send @Username field all the other usernames?

    That’s a bit convoluted. Why the Messages/Compose tabs do not offer a Private/Public message option?

    Thanks again for your help.

    We use the Better Messages plugin from WordPlus, many different options included. I’m afraid I am no longer familiar with the underlying default BP functionality.

    Btw, the Better Messages plugin is excellent. Definitely recommended.

    Public messaging in BuddyPress refers to messages that can be seen by all users, regardless of whether they belong to a specific group or not. These messages are visible to the entire BuddyPress community and do not require the existence of a group for users to access them. This open accessibility fosters broader communication among users within the BuddyPress platform.

    Thank you very much to both of you.
