This feature is available on our 2.5.0 release.

This new feature makes easier tHE communicate between seller and buyer regarding an ad. Instead of having a contact form on the advertisement’s page, you can activate Messaging System and send instant messages to the seller. Using this tool, you can avoid sharing an email address and the seller can choose with whom to communicate.

How to enable Messaging System

To enable messaging system, you simply need to login to your Panel, go to Settings -> Plugins and set Messaging System to Enabled.
