Oh yea! Figured it out. The answer was in my face the whole time! For anyone having this issue in the future:

I needed to add a line of code within each array button like this:

'class' => 'newmessage-button'

So my final code ended up looking like this:

private function get_menu()
	{
		$menu = array(
				'newmessage'	=> array(
					'title'			=> __('New Message', 'front-end-pm'),
					'action'			=> 'newmessage',
                  			'class'		        	=> 'newmessage-button',
                                      'priority'			=> 10
					),
				'message_box'	=> array(
					'title'			=> sprintf(__('Inbox%s', 'front-end-pm'), fep_get_new_message_button() ),
					'action'			=> 'messagebox',
					'class'		        	=> 'inbox-button',
                                        'priority'			=> 5
					),
				'settings'	=> array(
					'title'			=> __('Settings', 'front-end-pm'),
					'action'			=> 'settings',
					'class'		         	=> 'settings-button',
                                        'priority'			=> 15
					),
							
				);
		if( ! fep_current_user_can( 'send_new_message' ) ) {
			unset($menu['newmessage']);
		}
							
		$menu = apply_filters('fep_menu_buttons', $menu );
						
				foreach ( $menu as $key => $tab )
					{
				
						$defaults = array(
								'title'			=> '',
								'action'		=> $key,
								'class'			=> 'fep-button',
								'active-class'	=> 'fep-button-active',
								'priority'		=> 20
							);
					$menu[$key] = wp_parse_args( $menu[$key], $defaults);
			
				}
			uasort( $menu, 'fep_sort_by_priority' );
							
		return $menu;
	}
	
 } 

So simple, didn’t even need to create any divs.

Hi @shamim51. I know you are the author as I have been waiting for a reply to my questions for 4 days now. Not 12 hours, not 3 days, 4days to get any response at all and it was only because I mentioned here that I had no response from you. I even noticed you had replied to someone else’s questions a day after my first post but still didn’t acknowledge mine. So am I wrong to search elsewhere for answers? Don’t think so.

That being said, your plugin overall is beautifully done and I would have probably been willing to upgrade to pro if I could even get the FREE version to work properly. As a side note to that, I will say that your tactless response is not helping me want to upgrade and pay you to receive this kind of attitude.

Additionally, I am very well aware about forum rules and creating topics. Did I search? I SEARCHED YOUR ENTIRE FORUM. EVERY SINGLE PAGE.

Did I find my answer? No. That is why I asked it in your plugin forum, and that is why I asked it here after several days without a response from you.

The topic you refer to is here that you say was “asked and answered”.

First of all, you didn’t really provide a solution to this person’s problem. You simply told him it can’t be done without changing core plugin files.

I was ABLE TO DO WHAT HE WANTED TO DO (yes by changing the plugin files) without any help from anything you wrote there.

Second of all, what he wrote is not the same issues I’m having. Did you read?

It seems more to me like you are “too busy” and not really concerned with tech support of your plugin. You have many forum questions that users needed help months ago which still have ZERO replies from you. I understand you’re not getting paid to answer support questions from basic users, but part of the way you convince others to upgrade your plugin is by helping them and showing that it’s worth it to upgrade in the first place.

Yes, I am asking for help here because I didn’t get ANY HELP IN YOUR FORUMS. It’s not complaining. It’s trying to FIND A SOLUTION. I haven’t made a single complaint aside from the fact that I said you aren’t replying. Which was true because you were not.

I have summarized my issues on your forum which you again did not reply to which includes an issue that is completely unrelated to this matter anyways. I would appreciate a more thoughtful and tactful response from you, but judging how you are handling this I don’t expect it. Very unfortunate for you and I both, as if I could have gotten the plugin working properly I would have been very willing to upgrade (again, why would I upgrade a plugin in the first place when the free version isn’t even working properly and I can’t even get proper support for that?) You had no reason to write such a rudely worded response to me. If you intend to be successful with this stuff, I sincerely hope that you will fix your attitude towards your users and provide better support.

Moderator Note: Support, if available, will continue at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-order-of-message-replies-important/ Please both be civil.

Hi @macmanx

I am using the Front End PM plugin to provide private messaging. I’ve posted for help on their support forum but the plugin author is not replying. I have dug through the core files but my PHP knowledge is limited. I just can’t figure out why the first message of a conversation would not be considered as part of the array and sorted with the rest of the messages. 😞

Update – So I changed this within the front-end-pm functions.php file

function fep_get_replies( $id )
{
      $args = array( 
             'post_type' => 'fep_message',
             'post_status' => 'publish',
             'post_parent' => $id,
             'posts_per_page' => -1,
             'order' => 'ASC'

to ‘order’ => ‘DESC’

It works with the exception that the very first message in the thread still displays at the top. So it shows the very first post, then the newest posts in descending order display below it. How do I fix this?
