    Hello,

    I am running a small blog site with mainly 3 roles on it . Subscriber, Contributor, Admin
    I have been trying to remove the private message button under those conditions:

    – Hide message button from any users profile when Subscriber is logged in and viewing.
    – Hide message bytton from all subscribers profile when Contributor & admin is logged in and viewing, BUT allow contributor & admin to view other contributors & admins msg buttons.

    I have tried something like this but didnt work:

    function remove_private_message_button( $button ) {
$user = bp_loggedin_user_id();

    if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {

		if ( $role == 'subscriber') {
			$button = '';
		}
	
        else if( $role == 'contributor') {
				
		if ( $user == 23 || $user == 6 || $user == 25  ) { // the allowed user ID's, lets say that the contributors & admins are few and i could add them manually by ID's
	     return $button;}	
			
		}
	}

}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', 'remove_private_message_button', 1 , 1 );

    any ideas would be appriciated

    You cannot get roles from just the user id.
    Try:

    function remove_private_message_button( $button ) {

	$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
	$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
        $user_roles = $user->roles;
	$allowed_ids = array( 23, 6, 25 );

	if ( !empty( $user_roles ) && is_array( $user_roles ) ) {

		if ( in_array( 'subscriber', $user_roles, true ) ) {

			$button = '';
			
		} elseif ( in_array( 'contributor', $user_roles, true ) ) {
				
			if ( in_array( $user_id, $allowed_ids, true ) ) {
				return $button;	
			}

		} 

	}

	return $button;

}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', 'remove_private_message_button', 1 , 1 );

    Hello @shanebp,

    Thank you so much for your help 🙂
    I have tried your code (and also changed you last return button; with return $button; ), but it doesn’t work.

    If i login as subscriber all msg buttons are removed from all users profiles, which is correct.
    If i login as contributor i can see msg buttons on contributors and admins profiles , but also on subscribers profiles, which i would like not to.

    *Lets assume that contributors and admins have ID 23, 6, 25 .
    I tried many variations with your code but no luck.

    Thanks for pointing out the missing $ – fixed.
    Admins are not controlled by the function. They will always see the button.
    You don’t need to check for $allowed_ids.
    This change should prevent contributors from seeing the button on subscriber profiles.

    elseif ( in_array( 'contributor', $user_roles, true ) ) {

	$displayed_user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	$displayed_user = get_userdata( $displayed_user_id );
        $displayed_user_roles = $displayed_user->roles;	

        if ( in_array( 'subscriber', $displayed_user_roles, true ) ) {
            $button = '';
        }

}
