Messaging recipient?

Hi @tstone
You will need to make sure you have enabled private messaging componet from BuddyPress setting and it will link to teacher

Yes, it is enabled.

I noticed that the URL via your plugin isn’t the same as when using Buddypress’s own Private message button.

With your button, the part after the “?” in the URL says “receiver“.
But with Buddypress own button, it only says “r” after the “?”.

And if changing:
https://example.com/members/oneguy/messages/compose/?receiver=john
to
https://example.com/members/oneguy/messages/compose/?r=john
and hit reload, it suddenly works as intended.

The Private message button in Buddypress also puts a _wpnonce in the URL, like this:
...?r=john&_wpnonce=123456789

Perhaps “receiver” have become deprecated and taken out?

Thank you! Works perfectly!

I guess I can remove this fix after the next update?

We have added in our todo list. It should be part of coming update
