Try this out in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

function my_bp_is_friend() {

global $bp;



if (friends_check_friendship($bp->loggedin_user->id,$bp->displayed_user->id) )

return true;



return false;

}

Then copy /bp-default/members/single/member-header.php to your child theme.

Next, edit:

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_my_profile() && function_exists( 'bp_send_private_message_link' ) ) : ?>

to:

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_my_profile() && my_bp_is_friend() && function_exists( 'bp_send_private_message_link' ) ) : ?>
