Remove Message Notification

Hi, does anyone know how to remove the notification a person gets when they receive a new message? A person already gets notified in the messages, so this creates a duplicate notification. On a topic from a few years ago someone said to paste this in bp-custom.php.

remove_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'bp_messages_message_sent_add_notification', 10 );

But this does not seem to be working anymore.

Hi there Josh,

Just tested this and it still works.

Really? It must be a theme issue then?

Thanks

Could you give me advice on another thing, is there a way to disable members from sending messages to more that one person at a time?

Thanks @Venutius!

You can use something like this:
```
function venutius_check_recipients( $message_info ) {
	$recipients = $message_info->recipients;

	if ( count( $recipients ) > 1 && ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
		unset( $message_info->recipients );
	}

}

add_action( 'messages_message_before_save', 'venutius_check_recipients' );
```
This will reject any message with more than 1 recipient, except admin.

Hi again,

Just in case it will be of help to anyone else, I was finally able to remove the message “notification” using this code.
```
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function () {
    remove_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'bp_messages_message_sent_add_notification', 10 );
}, 999 );
```
I’m not sure why the other one didn’t work for me. (I’m using Boss theme). Support was kind enough to provide me this fix.
