 * Hi,
 * I would love to use the “Easy start thread” option but there is a bug when I 
   use it.
    I tried with Disable Multiple Threads enabled/disabled, with Auto Redirect
   to Existing Thread enabled/disable. Both of them enabled/disabled.
 * To reproduce :
    Open a thread and write to “someone”. Then delete the thread (
   don’t delete it from “someone” screen). Then go to “someone” public profile page
   and clic PM button. Error : Access restricted.
 * The problem comes with the `&fast=1` argument when opening a deleted thread wich
   is not deleted by the other user.
 * That would be nice to replace this error by :
    undelete action then open existing
   thread. (and for more flexibility, adding an admin option to restrict or undelete
   when thread is deleted)
 * Thank you <3

 * Hi [@wordplus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordplus/),
 * I think I found the solution to this, I have to test further to be sure it is
   not creating a bug somewhere … If you could confirm it was a mistake in the code
   that would help me. I think so because the array is called `$from_user_pms` .
 * Please first try what I described above. You should get the same issue.
    Then
   try changing this line in the file `./inc/functions.php`
 * Original :
    `$check_thread = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT thread_id 
   FROM {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_messages_recipients WHERE thread_id = %d AND is_deleted
   = '0';", $from_user_pms[$to_user->ID]));`
 * Fixed :
    `$check_thread = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT thread_id FROM{
   $wpdb->base_prefix}bp_messages_recipients WHERE thread_id = %d AND is_deleted
   = '0';", $from_user_pms[$from_user->ID]));`
 * Getting the variable’s integer from `$from_user_pms[$from_user->ID]` instead 
   of `$from_user_pms[$to_user->ID]` did the trick.
