New private message excerpt length

[mycolombianwife]

Every time someone recieves a private message.
First he will only be able to see an excerpt of about 60 characters.

Since on my website, members have to pay a membership first to be able
to read private messages, they will be directed to the membership level page,
after clicking on the private message excerpt.

Question: How I can reduce the characters of the private message excerpt length to about 6-10 characters.

So basically what I want to prevent is that members are able to send private messages not paying members
including their personal contact information, such as facebook, email ect…
and therefore prevent prevent new registered members from buying a membership to read
the private messages.

Thank you!

Hi, That is handled by buddypress and you can adjust that using the ‘bp_get_message_thread_excerpt’ filter.
Code example added to sweetdate-child/functions.php to adjust the length:

COPY CODE

 add_filter( 'bp_get_message_thread_excerpt', 'kleo_custom_message_length');
function kleo_custom_message_length($text) {
return substr( $text,0 , 10 );
}
