BuddyPress Instant Chat

You Have a New (BuddyPress) Message
This plugin is as simple as it is useful. Add the widget or use the shortcode [you-have-a-new-message] anywhere to display a notice if the currently logged in user has new messages. The notice links to the user’s inbox as a convenient and omnipresent shortcut.

Mass Messaging in BuddyPress

Mass Messaging
Mass Messaging in BuddyPress, is pretty much the opposite of the alternative Mass Messaging plugin – Mass Messaging for BuddyPress by Alkaweb. What I mean by this is this; whatever Alkawebs plugin does in the back-end, Mass Messaging in BuddyPress does from the front-end. Both of these plugins allow site admin to send mass messages to all, or groups of users in BuddyPress. What Mass Messaging in BuddyPress does extra, is to provide the ability to allow that privilege to other user types, and also it has the ability to track if the message has been read.
BuddyPress Message Attachment
Extend BuddyPress’ private message feature by enabling attachments. This plugin enables users to send attachments in private messages. The type of file types allowed and maximum size of the attachment can be controlled by admin.
