After a plugins update the urls have changed for messaging

Hi, thanks for the heads up, you should be able to update the URL in “Send Private Message” button by adding the code below in your theme functions.php file

add_filter( "bp_get_send_private_message_link", "my_bp_get_send_private_message_link" );
function my_bp_get_send_private_message_link( $url ) {
  $url =  bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/#compose/?r=' . $user->user_login;
  return wp_nonce_url( $url );
}

The same update should be in next WPAdverts BP release.

Thanks for the update just a couple of points to highlight with this filter as it think its nearly there but not yet..

Logged In User: jak0works
Sending Private Message To: jillH

What the URL should look like. Works correctly.
/members/jak0works/messages/#compose?r=jillH&_wpnonce=cbbdcaa085

With the add filter() from this thread, what the url looks like:

URL:
/members/jak0works/messages/?_wpnonce=cbbdcaa085#compose/?r=

It appears that the way the url is being constructed in the filter callback function is incorrect.

– still has the / after compose.
– appears the url order is wrong.
– shouldn’t we be getting the user we want to send a private message to and not legged in user. If we use $user_info->user_login the url has r=jak0works where as it should be r=jillH.

we are nearly there ??

Thanks for the support

Please try this functions instead

add_filter( "bp_get_send_private_message_link", "my_bp_get_send_private_message_link" );
function my_bp_get_send_private_message_link( $url ) {
  return str_replace( '/compose/', '/#compose/', $url );
}

Ok so we tried this but unfortunately we still see the landing page incorrect. I suspect the incorrect path we mentioned earlier is still being used as a solution.

Thank you

You might need one more change in the code

return str_replace( '/compose', '/#compose/', $url );

this should replace the link correctly, in either case, you should be able to use this line of code to manipulate the private message link generated by WPAdverts BP and adjust it to your needs.

Ok thank you for the update on this, our needs are simple really we purchase a paid plugin, we and the end user base / customers expect it to work 100%. We do understand other dependent plugins can change but, this is highlighting issues we will see for sure in the future with wp-adverts plugins. We look forward to the official fix and plugin update for this as str_replace() is a band aid not a fix.

Thank you

This is true the fix i am proposing is just a band-aid to have the BP integration working as soon as possible, once we will release an update, which should be this week, you will no longer need it.
