Works perfectly.

Now just one other thing to fix--but it's outside the scope of this plugin...

@sid-lori,

Here is your CSS code to clear the header for only PM page:

.wpft-messages #wpforo #wpforo-wrap  .wpforo-profile .wpforo-profile-head,
.wpft-messages #wpforo #wpforo-wrap  .wpforo-profile .wpforo-profile-head-bottom,
.wpft-messages #wpforo #wpforo-wrap  .wpforo-profile .wpforo-user-actions,
.wpft-messages #wpforo #wpforo-wrap  .wpforo-profile .wpforo-profile-menu {display: none;}

I'd not recommend to hide the breadcrumb, I've not included it.

Something like this would be absolutely SWELL...!

I haven't done it proper--I just pulled up the Developer Tools in Firefox and nuked all of the DIVs containing the space-consuming parts of the "User Profile."

Oh, and I notice I forgot to nuke the breadcrumb. (Though worth noting the gap without it looks a bit unsightly...would have to remove the margins, etc. from the other elements.)

Just have to hide/nuke these DIVs for a nearly-perfect result:

Tips/tricks for doing that?

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.

@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%;}
}

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...

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;}

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

6924

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?

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?
