Team Messenger is a WordPress plugin that adds secure, real-time messaging for logged-in users. It includes one-to-one chats, group rooms, optional end-to-end encryption for private threads, media uploads with administrator-controlled policies, presence, notification badges, pinned messages, and dedicated interfaces on both the public site and in wp-admin. Technical details and changelog notes may be published on the plugin support page or in the documentation as they are updated. English — Numbered feature list Real-time direct messaging between logged-in WordPress users over the REST API (team_messenger/v1), including pagination for message history. Optional end-to-end encryption (E2E) for direct messages: clients can exchange messages flagged as encrypted, and public keys are stored per user through dedicated REST endpoints (/keys). Group chats remain readable on the server (plaintext on the server side). Full group-chat lifecycle: create, read, update, and delete groups; set a name, description, and group avatar; list members; add or remove members; and promote or demote roles with a PATCH request on members. Rich media in chats: image, video, and audio attachments, plus optional voice messages recorded in the browser (MediaRecorder, typically WebM/WebA) with server-side MIME handling for reliable uploads. Two upload contexts on /media/upload: chat for conversation attachments and avatar for group profile images. Each context has independent size and format rules, which the server enforces. Administrator-configurable media policy: separate maximum file sizes for chat (0.1–100 MB) and group avatars (0.1–50 MB); toggles for allowed chat categories (image / video / audio) and allowed avatar formats (for example JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP). Limits are sent to the client as hints; the server performs the final validation. Flexible storage for uploaded files: attachments can live in the WordPress Media Library or in a plugin-protected directory (.htaccess where applicable). Private-path files are downloaded through an authenticated /media/download/{file} request. “Saved messages” (self-chat): a personal notebook thread in which the current user is both sides, for notes and files. Recent conversations: when no search query is sent, the user list prioritizes people you have messaged recently and does not expose the entire user directory. Privacy-conscious user search: at least three characters are required, and the number of results is capped. Presence (online / last seen): clients send a throttled heartbeat to POST /presence. The last_seen and is_online fields appear in user lists only when the viewer has shared direct-message history with that user or shares a group (privacy-preserving). Notifications: GET /notifications/counts returns separate counts and text previews for new personal and group activity since the last acknowledgment. POST /notifications/ack accepts a scope of all, personal, or group. WordPress admin bar integration: when the toolbar is visible, separate nodes show personal and group chat badges. Dropdowns load preview snippets (periodic polling) and allow clearing notifications by scope. Non-administrators link to the site home; users with manage_options can open the full messenger screen. Dashboard widgets (administrators): two WordPress Dashboard widgets—personal (1:1) and group—provide inline chat with the same REST capabilities as the main messenger (including pins and upload limits). They are visible only to users with manage_options who have not disabled admin chat. Pinned messages: one pin per direct thread (stored in team_messenger_direct_pins) and one per group (pinned_message_id). You can pin or unpin from the floating widget, [team_messenger_web_chat], the admin messenger, and the dashboard widgets. A pinned strip shows a snippet and scrolls to the message. Pins are cleared if the underlying message is deleted. Read state: opening a direct thread marks incoming messages from the partner as read (is_read). For groups, per-user last-read timestamps sync when the thread is opened. Your own outgoing group messages can show read receipts (“sent” vs “read”) when all other members have caught up. Message lifecycle: edit or soft-delete your own messages in direct and group threads (the API supports edit and delete on owned messages). Data retention: a daily scheduled event permanently removes soft-deleted direct and group messages whose deleted_at is older than 30 days (GDPR-oriented housekeeping). Multiple surfaces: a floating chat widget on the front end; a full-page [team_messenger_web_chat] shortcode with configurable HTML fallback for guests; a dedicated admin “Messenger” screen; an optional floating FAB on all wp-admin screens (toggle in settings, respects the per-user “hide admin chat” setting); admin bar badges; and two dashboard widgets for administrators. Customization in settings: primary accent color, widget corner placement, welcome text, shortcode guest content (visual/HTML editor), and a site-wide “show messenger on all wp-admin screens” option. Per-user preferences on the user profile: optionally hide front-end chat (widget and shortcode UI) and/or all wp-admin chat (floating messenger, full messenger page, admin bar nodes, and dashboard widgets). Shortcode pages show a short notice if frontend chat is disabled for that user. Abuse protection: rate limiting on sending messages and on creating groups, to reduce spam and overload. Internationalization: text domain team-messenger. Persian (fa_IR) and other translations can ship in the languages folder.
