@evildon, You’re right. not sure why I copied the code without that

Here is the working code:

function ntwb_bbp_bp_pm() {
    if(function_exists('bp_send_private_message_link') && is_user_logged_in() ) {
        global $bp;
        if ($bp->loggedin_user->id !== bbp_get_reply_author_id()){
          $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id()  ); 

          if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
              $user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
          }
          $compose = bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/compose/?r=' . $user_nicename;
        
          ?>
          <div class="forum-pm"><a href="<?php echo $compose ?>" title="Private Message">Private Message</a></div>
          <?php
       }
    }
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'ntwb_bbp_bp_pm' );

Hey Stephen, I’ve modified your code. With your code, when clicking on the link, it redirects the user to the compose form with the “Send To” field empty. I wanted to fill this field for the user automatically, just the way it works in buddypress user page. So I came up with this code.

function ntwb_bbp_bp_pm() {
    if(function_exists('bp_send_private_message_link') && is_user_logged_in() ) {

        $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id()  ); 

        if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
            $user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
        }
        $compose = bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/compose/?r=' . $user_nicename;
        
        ?>
        <a>" title="Private Message">Private Message</a>
        <?php
    }
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'ntwb_bbp_bp_pm' );

I’m not a php programmer and I’m not sure that I did it the right way, but hey, it works.

This post solved the problem for me:

Forums index in the same layout as other bb software

I made a mistake with the css file, you’re using buddypress right?

If so, the file that you need is:

plugins/buddypress/bp-tamplets/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css

Put it in:

themes/[your child theme]/css

And then add the css rule to the file.

The script in the link is working, you probably haven’t closed it with php tags.

Put this in bp-custom.php in the plugins folders

<?php
function bp_exclude_profile_tabs() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav['forums'] = false;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bp_exclude_profile_tabs', 999 );
?>

If you prefer to do it with css, you need to copy bbpress.css from:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css

And put it in:
themes/[your child theme folder]/css

(if you don’t have a css folder in your child theme, create one)
Then put the css rule mentioned above somewhere in the file.

Look at this blog post:
http://themekraft.com/blog/customize-profile-and-group-menus-in-buddypress/

I haven’t checked it, so if it doesn’t work, you can always use css.

put this line in bbpress.css in your child theme:
#forums-personal-li {display:none;}
