Description

PRIVATE MESSAGING is a WordPress plugin that adds front-end, one-on-one chat so site visitors and users can communicate without leaving your site. It helps solve the problem of scattered conversations by centralizing messages in a monitorable inbox that admins and users can access from anywhere.

Designed to support engaged communities, it includes read receipts, message notifications, and safe file sharing tools for more reliable, user-friendly interaction. Built with multisite environments and forum-style workflows in mind, the plugin supports Multisite messaging and bbPress integration, with simple configuration and extensibility.

Main Features

  • Front-end one-on-one messaging — Let users chat directly from the site interface with a clear inbox experience.
  • Monitorable inbox — Provide admins visibility into messages through an accessible inbox.
  • File sharing — Enable users to share files within direct messages safely.
  • Read receipts — Show when a message has been received to improve message clarity.
  • Message notifications — Notify users when they receive new messages, including optional pop-up alerts.
  • Compose overlay — Keep conversations fast with a simple compose overlay.
  • Fully responsive UI — Ensure messaging works smoothly across devices.
  • Multisite broadcast and site-specific messaging — Support messaging patterns for WordPress Multisite, including admin broadcasts.
