Hi,

I’m interested in having a user-to-user Private Message function on my site. Simplest possible / no frills.

My site is .org / wordpress v5.7.2

Site (not yet in full use) http://forum.thehiddenpeople.ie/

Currently activated plugins:
Akismet antispam
Avada Builder
Avada Core
Basic use avatars
BBPress
Disable Gutenberg

I’ve come across a few plugins that sound like possibilities but none that have been tested with Avada. Any recommendations anyone?

Hi. We’re also interested in a basic PM funcionality for bbPress. As this thread is 5 years old, we’re wondering if there is a more recente plugin available in 2026. The bbPress Messages that Robin suggested now appears at the WP plugins directory as not having been updated in a long time. Better Messages seems to be more updated but in the free version based on Ajax it seems like a too heavy-load plugin. Have any of you tested it in a high traffic server?
