CubePM is a private messaging system for WordPress.
Unlike other PM system, CubePM allows messages to be sent to multiple users and also displays the whole PM system on the frontend using a short-code.

CubePM is a private messaging system that integrates right into the frontend of your site.

Like Twitter, the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/" rel="ugc">BuddyPress Followers</a> plugin adds the ability to “follow” users on your BuddyPress site.
However, by default, any member on your BuddyPress site is allowed to send private messages to anyone in your userbase.
This plugin allows members to send private messages only if the recipient is following them. This will help prevent private messaging spam on your BuddyPress site.
<h3>Recommendations</h3>
I do not recommend using the BuddyPress Followers plugin in tandem with the BuddyPress Friends component.
If you’re looking for a similar plugin for the BuddyPress friends component only, check out <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-message-for-friends-only/" rel="ugc">this plugin</a> instead.
