BuddyPress Message Privacy GPL v1.2.9

BuddyPress Message Privacy GPL Overview

BuddyPress Message Privacy is a plugin designed to give users complete control over who can send them private messages on BuddyPress-based social networks. It helps prevent unwanted message spam and allows users to manage their privacy settings for private communications. Similar to the message controls on platforms like Facebook, this plugin provides granular control over message permissions, making it an essential tool for community administrators and users who want to maintain a safe and secure messaging environment.

What It Does

This plugin enables users to control who can send them private messages, enhancing the overall privacy and security of their interactions within the BuddyPress community. Users can set their preferences to receive messages from everyone, only friends, or a custom list of users. It also allows users to block specific individuals from sending them messages, ensuring that they are in full control of their communication settings.

Key Features

   • Users can choose who is allowed to send them private messages, with the following options:
     • Everyone: Anyone can send a message.
     • Friends Only: Only friends (mutual connections) can send messages.
     • Custom List: Users can specify a custom list of people who can send them messages.
2. Custom Blocklist:
   • Users can create a custom blacklist of individuals who are permanently blocked from sending them messages. This ensures that unwanted or disruptive users cannot contact them.
3. Block Replies from Blocked Users:

4. Super Admin Privileges:
   • Super Admins (site administrators) can always send messages to any user, regardless of the user’s privacy settings. This ensures that admins can still communicate with users if needed, for moderation or support purposes.
5. Granular Control for Users:
