BuddyPress.org

I’m trying to create a theme with a messages notification/box in the header. So far, everything works fine for regular users. However, if logged in as an administrator, bp_has_message_threads() will return nothing, even if the user has messages. This only happens on non-profile pages – if you navigate to a user profile (buddypress page), the message appear as expected. My best guess is the profile pages are executing some function that I’m not? Here’s the loop I created:

if(bp_has_message_threads(array('max' => 5)))
							{
								// TODO: put buttons 'mark all as read' and 'go to inbox'
								
								while(bp_message_threads())
								{
									bp_message_thread();
									printf('<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>');
									printf('<a href="%1$s" class="dropdown-item">%2$s...<br>From: %3$s</a>',
											bp_get_message_thread_view_link(),
											bp_get_message_thread_excerpt(),
											wp_strip_all_tags(bp_get_message_thread_from()));
								}
								
								printf('<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>');
								printf('<a href="%1$smessages" class="dropdown-item">See all messages...</a>', bp_loggedin_user_domain());
							}
							else
							{
								// If users has no unread messages, tell them and give a link to their full inbox
								printf('<a href="%1$smessages" class="dropdown-item">You have no messages</a>', bp_loggedin_user_domain());
							}
