I appreciate sending a message afterwards forces the cache to be reset but this does not meet the requirements – I would like messages to be hidden and then made visible based on a business logic status change and not when a message happens to be sent. Desired behaviour:

1. General message exchange, some messages read and some unread.
2. business process reaches a particular status and message are all hidden and the unread message count has unread hidden messages removed.
3. business process reaches another status and message are unhidden and the unread message count now includes the count of those previously hidden messages.

Currently, If I move the business process to a state where they are supposed to be hidden, the messages are hidden and the unread count seems to be correct. However, when I move the process to the state where messages are visible again, they don’t get shown until I send another message to that user again.

yes, you are right about $args :/ I’ve removed the child code for the time being. The child messages show if you chose the option to show each email rather than email thread. I have gone back to only showing email thread which resolves the issue.

I now have the following code but am still seeing the unread hidden messages being included in the count.

        $this->loader->wp_add_filter('fep_message_query_args', array(
            $this->fep,
            'cmdu_hide_message'
        ), 10, 2);

        $this->loader->wp_add_filter('fep_message_count_query_args', array(
            $this->fep,
            'cmdu_hide_message'
        ), 10, 2);

    public function cmdu_hide_message($args, $user_id)
    {
        
        // Admin users can see all
        if (! current_user_can('administrator')) {           
            $args['post__not_in'] = $this->hide_mes_id();
        }
        
        return $args;
    }

And inside private function hide_mes_id()

        $not_post = array();
        foreach ($findrefs as $ref) {
            array_push($not_post, $ref->mes_id);
            
            /*
             * $child_args = array(
             * 'post_parent' => $ref->mes_id,
             * 'post_type' => 'any',
             * 'numberposts' => - 1,
             * 'post_status' => 'any'
             * );
             * $children = get_children($child_args);
             *
             * foreach ($children as $child) {
             *
             * array_push($not_post, $child);
             * }
             */
        }
        return $not_post;

Excellent, thank you

$not_post = array();
foreach ($findrefs as $ref) {
array_push($not_post, $ref->mes_id);

$args = array(
‘post_parent’ => $ref->mes_id,
‘post_type’ => ‘any’,
‘numberposts’ => – 1,
‘post_status’ => ‘any’
);
$children = get_children($args);

foreach ($children as $child) {

array_push($not_post, $child);
}
}

$args[‘post__not_in’] = $not_post;

$findrefs is an object that contains a list of parent message id

I can see what the issue is, should be if ( (‘send_reply’ === $cap) and not if ( (‘send_reply’ !== $cap)

I have also used wp_get_post_parent_id to get parent ID’s of reply messages to check those as well

This isn’t quite what I’m looking for. What I want to do is prevent a particular message being displayed in the inbox based on parent message ID. I think this function is high level filter for posts to display. Do you have any other ideas how I could do this?

Before messagebox is loaded so that I can hide messages before they are loaded

Should add this error occurs on every page load of the website – not when specifically using FEP
