BuddyPress Private Message Rate Limiter

The BuddyPress Private Message Rate Limiter plugin allows the site administrators to limit users from sending a large number of messages and flooding other users.

This plugin helps you stop spammers from flooding your users’ private message.

The integration works and requires the BuddyBoss Platform installed and activated on your website.

BuddyBoss Platform is a fork and forge of the BuddyPress plugin and bbPress plugin. Any plugin developed for the BuddyPress and bbPress plugin is supported by the BuddyBoss Platform.

You do NOT need to install the BuddyPress plugin or the bbPress plugin separately. BuddyBoss Platform acts as a replacement for both the plugins.
