WP Job Manager 1.10.5 – Private Messages
Description
WP Job Manager Private Messages adds one-on-one private messaging to your WordPress job board so users can communicate directly on-site. Instead of leaving your site to contact each other, members can keep the conversation within the job listings experience. This helps reduce drop-offs and encourages more interaction across your WP Job Manager–powered community. With notification tools and an easy message dashboard, users can follow up quickly and stay engaged.
The plugin supports email notifications, unread badges, and unread counts, plus a new-reply notification approach that keeps conversations current. As a result, messaging becomes a seamless part of your WordPress workflow—helping users connect without friction while you maintain a focused, on-site experience.
