Blocking private messaging for Subscriber users

I need to stop users with only subscriber status from BuddyPress private messaging.

The plugin ‘BuddyPress Restrict Messages’ looks like exactly what I need but it does not seem to work and appears to be abandoned.

Any advice/suggestions on how to do this. please?

The caveat with plugins is that for a variety of reasons they might get abandoned at some point in time. Oddly or fortunately enough the author of the BuddyPress Restrict Messages plugin also created (seems like this one is a better fit for your stated requirement):

BuddyPress Messaging Control

However, the caveat of support for this plugin still applies.

@emaralive – thanks for that. I had tried BuddyPress Messaging Control and thought that was not working too. But I checked again – the user I was testing it on was not of the class I thought they were (duh!).

The basic fuctionality of blocking all private messages for a given class of user is working for me.
Allowing them to still message admins seems to fail to block other messaging. But I can live with what does work.

Thanks again.
