BuddyPress Message Privacy 1.2.9
Description
BuddyPress Message Privacy is a WordPress plugin designed to give members more control over how their BuddyPress messages and activity are seen on your social network. It helps protect user conversations and improves transparency by allowing users to manage who can view their profile-related visibility and activity. On busy communities, clear privacy options can reduce exposure to unwanted attention and help lower spam and intrusive behavior. The plugin is built to work naturally with BuddyPress features, so configuring privacy stays straightforward for both site admins and members.
By making message and activity visibility settings easier to manage, it supports a safer community experience and encourages genuine engagement without forcing users to guess how privacy works.
