Restrict private messages

I working on a Buddypress membership site http://LifeCoachPDC.com that will have both free and paid members. I want to be able to restrict free members from sending private messages.

I am using a very good membership product that I spent a ton of time to find after testing many. But the it does not allow me to restrict private member to member messages. Does anyone have a an easy idea how to solve this?

Also, any recommendations on best practice for BP for Instant Messages?

Thanks,

Zorro…

Hi @zorro1965

There’s a hook available in BuddyPress called messages_message_before_save which can be used to do things before a message is sent. So, you could write a function which checks to see if a member has authorisation to send a message and bail if not. You’d simply hook your function to messages_message_before_save

See here for more info on how to utilise hooks.

Do you think a user role manager like this one may accomplish this?

You can’t do it via roles.
You need to use the hook henry mentioned and write a function to see if the sender is ‘free’.
