User to User Block

Better Messages allows users to block other users from sending them messages.

How it works​

When a user blocks another user, the blocked person can no longer start new conversations with or send messages to the person who blocked them. The block is one-directional — the blocker can still message the blocked user if they choose. Administrators can control which user roles have access to the blocking feature and which roles are immune to being blocked.

Key capabilities​

  • Block any user from sending you messages
  • One-directional blocking (blocker can still message the blocked user)
  • Blocked users cannot start new conversations with the blocker
  • Role-based control over who can use blocking
  • Role-based immunity from being blocked
  • Users can unblock at any time

How to enable​

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

  • Allow Users to Block — Enable the blocking feature
  • Roles That Cannot Block — User roles that are not allowed to use the block feature
  • Immune Roles — User roles that cannot be blocked by other users
