I notice that all of the screenshots of wpForo Private Messages show the "Conversation List" as part of the Private Message window.

But on my installation, the "Conversation List" is hidden by default--I have to click an icon to get it to show up.  I've checked the Private Messages settings, but didn't see anything about this.

 

How do I make the "Conversation List" part of the Private Messages window as per all of the screenshots, as seen below?

Here's roughly how it shows on our website (redacting info):

Notice how the "conversation list" is on top of the "message list" (that is, after I figured out to click the hamburger button to get the "conversation list" in the first place).

Quite unlike all of the glittery plugin screenshots which show the "conversation list" as a left-hand pane that's part of the view.

How do I change this to behave like the screenshots that I purchased this plugin based on?

Hi @sid-lori,

Sorry for delayed reply, it's vacation period and some questions may take more time to response. You can keep opened the conversation list using a custom CSS code. Please put this code in Dashboard  >wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles > Custom CSS Code textarea. Save it, delete all cachesand check it again:

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-messages-content #wpfpm_left_toggle_button{display: none !important;}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-messages-content .wpfpm-left {transform: translateX(0) !important;}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-messages-content .wpfpm-left{position: unset !important;}

Instant perfection, thank you!

 

Now if only we could get that "Private Messages" out of the "User Profile" and onto a separate Wpforo page.  Would save so much space...

@sid-lori,

There is no way to load PMs in a custom page, but you can use this CSS code to hide the forum sidebar only for PM page. This only works for wpForo sidebar not for the theme sidebar. If you don't want wpForo sidebar you should leave your forum URL to let us check the sidebar classes.

@media (min-width: 801px){
  .wpft-messages #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-right-sidebar {display:none;}
  .wpft-messages #wpforo #wpforo-wrap  .wpforo-content {width: 100%;}
}

I'm not referring to the sidebar (which I have disabled anyway) so much as the entire "user profile" header, which consumes huge amounts of screen space:

As in...the ENTIRE un-scrolled page is wasted space on my laptop viewport!

If I could get rid of the entire rectangled area (not the redacted areas, LOL!) in the "Private Messages" view, I'd be thrilled.

obviously, website is genetrysolar.com with the forum embedded and easily accessed.
