Private Message System tab not visible

 

• I have configured the Private Message System tab as a Horizontal tab (left/right), access level = Public, and position = Main canvas area.
• The plugin access level is set to Registered.
• In the database, I manually inserted a test message into both PMS tables (messages and messages_read), just in case the tab does not display when it’s empty.
• However, the tab still does not appear on the profile page on any of my sites.

I could not find any official documentation or clear instructions on how to properly enable and display this tab. Could you please provide guidance or steps to make the PMS tab visible?

Community Builder 2.4 and 2.10, PMS 2.4 and 2.10

Private messages don't display in a tab. They've their own page. They can only display on profile using the envelope icon to the top right of the profile on the menu bar. You can also create a Joomla menu item to private messages with a menu type of Community Builder > Plugin then set Plugin to Private Message System. A new message notification can also be enabled in your CB Login Module or CB Workflows Module.

The only tab available for the PMS is the Quick Message tab and it just shows an input for quickly messaging the displayed user.
