Mark Particular Messages as Read

    We want to automatically mark a few messages as read based on their subject so that they do not show up in the unread_count number of messages.

    I have come up with this but I am not sure if I am even on the right path.

    function markcommentreadplease(){
if ($message->subject == "comment on your post") { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery($messages_new_message).removeClass("unread").addClass("read"); 
</script><?php }}

    Or

    function markcommentreadplease(){
if ($message->subject == "comment on your post") { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(this).removeClass("unread").addClass("read"); 
</script><?php }}

add_action( 'messages_new_message', 'markcommentreadplease' );

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    The messages_mark_thread_read() function will mark a message thread as read. It accepts the thread ID. So, to mark read all new private messages if they have a given subject, you could do this:

    function creativesinside_mark_read( $message ) {

    // Be sure we're working with an array.
    if ( is_object( $message ) ) {
        $args = (array) $message;
    } else {
        $args = $message;
    }

    // Mark as read.
    if ( $args['subject'] == 'comment on your post' ) {
        messages_mark_thread_read( $args['thread_id'] );
    }
}
add_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'creativesinside_mark_read' );
