Question How to disable/hide "Private Messages" link in forum header?

Hi,

I would like to remove / suppress the "Private Messages" link that appears in the top-right of the forum-member details header. Is it possible to do so through the cp?

TIA.

Yes. Deactivate whatever private messaging plugin you have active.

Hello,

Thank you for the help. We have UDDEIM installed. We clicked on "Unpublish" for all the UDDEIM entries in the CB plugin manager, as also in the tabs; still no effect.

Is there any other option that we may be missing, short of uninstalling the UDDEIM component altogether?

Thanks for your inputs in advance.

Hi,

go to Kunena backend -> Kunena Plugins and disable Kunena - UddeIM Integration plugin

Hi,

Thank you for the input. We tried this suggestion - disable the Kunena-UDDEIM integration. However, the link is still there, and refuses to go away.

We do not want to uninstall UDDEIM, for we believe it may be useful in the future.

Is it possible that the "Private messages" link is because of some non-UDDEIM component/plugin?

TIA.

Maybe you have enabled another Kunena plugin? Post your configuration report and we can tell you.

Hello sozzled,

I am attaching the Kunena configuration [strike]in .zip format for your perusal[/strike]. *** Moderator's comment *** We cannot read the this unless is it posted on the forum. I have done this for you

I look forward to your advice on this issue.

TIA.
