Ok, but first try these steps:
1. Put https://website.com/my-inbox/?pmaction=newmessage&to=1 in any post (adjust where needed for url and the page where you have put [cartpauj-pm]). If that link brings up the message template to be sent to the admin of the WordPress installation generated by Cartpauj, then the above step in explained should work in EVERY post. If however you already get here an issue with 404 error message, then there is something wrong with your Cartpauj instance itself.
2. In case an error occurs, put [content field="author" meta="ID"] in an article post. What do you get, do you get an ID number? If you do this in a post you wrote as admin, then you should get the number 1. If not (no number shown or simply shows the code itself, then you have an issue with the “Custom Content Shortcode” plugin.

Here are the steps:

– install “Custom Content Shortcode” plugin
– create article using admin or a user profile
– put IN THE ARTICLE ITSELF following url for example of the format
<a class="art-button" href="https://website.com/my-inbox/?pmaction=newmessage&to=[content field="author" meta="ID"]">Offer support to this person via private message</a>
– [content field="author" meta="ID"] will now call the ID of the AUTHOR of the ARTICLE and create the message with the TO field completed with the username of the Author, thus enabling the direct mailing to the author. If this does not work, then the “Custom Content Shortcode” plugin is most likely in conflict with another plugin.

I hope this helps?

Same question here. Is this possible?

Just an update, this is possible by using a shortcode plugin and then using this link:

https://www.url.com/my-inbox/?pmaction=newmessage&to=[content field="author" meta="ID"]

Works as a charm.

This is easy by using the [wpuf_dashboard] and then update the settings to allow editing. But you do need the PRO version.

Just did the upgrade, works as a charm as well. Thanks for the quick solution!

This does not work as it still lists all articles by all authors, so not the current user only.

Hello,

The following code enlists all articles by ALL authors, while I thought it would just render the articles by the current logged in user only? Am I doing something wrong?

<ul>
    [loop author=""]
        <li>
            [field title-link] by [content field="author" meta="display_name"]
        </li>
    [/loop]
</ul>

1.4.7 works as a charm. Thanks!

I had 1.4.5 update, and had to return to 1.4.2 before it wanted to work again.

Code was straightforward:

[loop type="post" category="i-want-to-ask-for-support"]
<strong>[content field="title"]</strong> (Requested on [content field="date" date_format="l, j F Y"] by <a href="[content field="author-url"]">[content field="author" meta="display_name"]</a>)
[content field]
[if category="i-want-to-ask-for-support"]I would need support <strong>[content field="for_how_long_will_support_be_needed_or_provided?"]</strong>.[/if]
This support can take place:
- By email: <strong>[content field="support_meetings_by_email_"]</strong>
- Face to face: <strong>[content field="support_meetings_face_to_face_"] [content field="if_face_to_face,_which_location_area?"]</strong>
- By video call: <strong>[content field="support_meetings_by_videocall_"]</strong>
- By phone: <strong>[content field="support_meetings_by_phone_"]</strong>
- By other means: <strong>[content field="support_meetings_by_other_means_"] [content field="if_by_other_means__please_say_how"]</strong>
<!--You can contact me <strong>[content field="you_can_contact_me"]</strong>.-->
[if empty]There are no requests for support.[/if]

<hr />

[/loop]

Any later update breaks the code and results in white screen. Great plugin though, but somewhere there is a bug I fear in the versions higher than 1.4.2. I run this on WP 4 installation.

Same story here, the latest update broke all coding.

Same question I have, but for following loop that is to list links to posts of currently logged in user…

<ul>
    [loop author=""]
        <li>
            [field title-link]
        </li>
    [/loop]
</ul>

Does not seem to work, so I would welcome the correct way to do this.

thanks in advance.

It can be done, by combining “Custom Content Shortcode” plugin and then make a url for example of the format <a class="art-button" href="https://website.com/my-inbox/?pmaction=newmessage&to=[content field="author" meta="ID"]">Offer support to this person via private message</a>.

Works just fine.

Works just fine.

Hello, I am looking for a way to include immediately under a post a link to the messaging functionality so I get it of the form “https://xxxxx.xx/my-inbox/?pmaction=newmessage&to=ID” whereby the ID is automatically completed with the ID of the author of an article. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.
