* As I am using a theme with public profiles, I want to add a button “Send to user”.
Do you have a shortcode for this?

* I’m sorry – I went to the link to read about this and posted my own question,
without realizing it was a Resolved thread. Forgive me for not paying attention.
Here is my question, copied from that thread:
* I was trying the above code out on my site. I use Ultimate Member plugin, and
it has custom profile display pages. I added the code to the bottom of the user
profile page, (from above)
* `Send Message`
* but rather than seeing “Send Message” it shows this instead:
* 0 new message and 0 new announcement
* with the 0 new messages being a link which goes to an error page, and the 0 new
announcement is also a link which will go to the PM area to send a message –
but I still have to open a new message and type the user’s name.
* I need the ability to send a message to the member right from their profile page.
Since it looks like I’ll use this Front End PM plugin, it makes sense to invest
in it to make it work. 🙂
* Can you help?

* I also use Ultimate Member and would like to do exactly what Mr. Brown is doing.
Wonder if there was a solution to this?
Thank you!

* I use Ultimate Member and am trying to do this exact same thing. Could anyone
explain how to do this?
* I left a message on the developer’s site (and would be happy to make a donation
there to get the answer), but my message was ignored. Any help would be appreciated.

* Honestly, I couldn’t get it to work, so I got the Ultimate Member Private Messages
plugin that integrates perfectly.

* Thanks, esayer. I will probably end up doing the same thing.

* I am very busy now a days. So i could not support you. [@dysschord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dysschord/)(
Michael Eric Brown) you can share your code which i have given to you with others
if you do not mind. I do not have enough time now to think again and write those
codes.

* The code that works for me that Shamim wrote for me is as follows:
* ```
function fep_link_after_profile_pic()
{
global $user_login;
if ( $user_login && $user_login != um_profile('user_login'))
{
echo " um_profile('user_login')))."'>".__('Contact this User', 'fep').'
';
}
}
add_action('um_profile_header', 'fep_link_after_profile_pic');
```

* [@shamim51](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shamim51/) and [@dysschord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dysschord/)–
Thank you both.
* Unfortunately, this code doesn’t seem to work for me. I end up with blank user
profiles. I’ll keep fiddling with it, and hopefully I’ll be able to make it work.
