Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Can you please share problem URL and admin access details and tell me what exactly the issue you are facing?
You do not see just reply form or even you do not see the message list view?
If I need to login as frontend user to see the issue, please share frontend user access details as well. Please share all deteails that should help me to see the issue and once I review that I will be able to guiude you in the right direction.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
Where I can see contractors? where the message should be displayed after sending it? Can you please share all required details and URLs of those pages that should help me to cross check every action.
I need full workflow with URLs so that I can check whole workflow and review whats missing and try to fix it.
Well - you want to establish messaging system or you want to send the email to the contractor (author)'s email that is available with edit user profile?
