Bug report on time and suggestions for improving the plugin

Hi,

I would like to report a bug regarding the sending date that appears in messages sent and received on the Front End PM plugin: I would like to point out that in my WordPress site the universal time and the local date are set correctly. The bug consists in the fact that the date appears 1 hour further back, if I send a message now it tells me that it was sent 1 hour ago. I believe the plugin only refers to the UTC timezone and not the local one so I had to make a correction adding the following code in the functions.php file in the fep_get_the_date function:

$date = new DateTime($date, new DateTimeZone('UTC'));

$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/Rome'));

$date = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Another thing I wanted to point out to you, this is a suggestion: I think it is better to insert not only the elapsed time but also the exact time, example: instead of “1 hour ago” put “1 hour ago (December 30 2023 4:26)”.

Another problem is the following: in the desktop version of the plugin on the home page of the mailbox it is not clear which mail is received and which mail is sent, they are not distinguishable. While in the mobile version you understand everything perfectly.

Another tip: in the viewmessage the message does not appear directly, the user has to click the button where there is the username and the date for it to be shown, this is not very intuitive, many users who are not experts have told me that they couldn’t figure out how to read the message. The message should be shown directly and clearly.

Also on the viewmessage page it is not clear which is the sender and which is the recipient, it should be specified to avoid misunderstandings such as “Sender: “, “Recipient:” “Object: ” and “Time: “. This is another thing that has been asked to improve by users of my site.

Last thing: on the newmessage page, the boxes relating to the recipient’s name and the subject should be separated by an html break line, because they are too close together.

I hope my report and suggestions can help you, you have done a great job with the plugin and I thank you for that.

Have a good day.

Best regards.
