Unread Conversations Filter

Better Messages includes an unread conversations filter for quickly finding conversations with new messages.

How it works​

When enabled, a filter button appears in the conversations list that toggles between showing all conversations and showing only those with unread messages. This is especially useful for users with many conversations, allowing them to quickly focus on conversations that need their attention. The unread counter can be configured to count either individual unread messages or unread conversations.

Key capabilities​

  • Filter button to show only unread conversations
  • Toggle between all conversations and unread-only view
  • Configurable unread counter mode (messages or conversations)
  • Helps users manage busy inboxes

How to enable​

Navigate to WP Admin → Better Messages → Settings → Messaging.

  • Enable Unread Filter — Show the unread filter button in the conversations list
  • Unread Counter — Count unread messages or unread conversations
