I need help

Hi there!

1. Only possible to create custom script for migrating from old messaging system to this one
2. https://www.better-messages.com/docs/development/guides/overwrite-email
3. https://www.better-messages.com/docs/development/php-filters/better_messages_rest_user_item
4. There is no way to add register button to wp_login_form, but you can redirect with PHP again, for example:

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_redirect_if_user_not_logged_in' );

function my_redirect_if_user_not_logged_in(){
    $page_id = 8437; // Messages page ID
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && is_page($page_id) ) {

        $link = add_query_arg('redirect', urlencode(get_permalink($page_id)), 'https://youwebsite.com/login/');
        wp_redirect( $link );
        exit;
    }
}

@worldplus Thank you for your support.

Since I’ve just started using the plugin, I have a few more questions.

Messages reactions – even if it is turned off, it will still appear in the message sending area.

new conversation – I want to turn off this feature completely. My goal is to only allow incoming and outgoing messages via wp job manager. I want any member to reply after receiving a message. I need to completely disable the ability of members to send a new message to different members.

Hi there!

In the messages area you can see emoji selector, not messages reactions. It can not be disabled.

You can disable New Conversations Screen in plugin settings under Customizations tab.

Thanks!

@worldplus hello,

I am adding the code in your answer to question 4 in my first message to functions.php in child theme. but even if I do this, it still redirects to the message sending page defined in the system.

should I add it to a different file or could there be an error in the code?

Hi there!

That code is just example and you might need help of someone with php knowledge to modify it for your needs.

But did you changed page id in the code to your actual page id where the messages page is located?

yes, I added the number of the messaging page to the page_id field in the code you shared and the url address of the messaging page to the url address in the bottom field.

but most of the time it doesn’t react at all and keeps trying to load the page.

as a second alternative would you be able to share such a code. or can you make a new update to the plugin?

for users who are not logged in, wouldn’t it make sense to add another button to the member login page, which, apart from the login function, reveals the register button and redirects to the registration page defined in the background.

I tried to prepare a representative picture.

and not only because I am thinking of myself, but also because other users can benefit from it.

Hi there!

That form is not coming from Better Messages plugin, its just default form which displayed with this function:

And unfortunately I cant see the way to add register button to it.
