How to remove private message restriction for admin?

Question

As admin, I may require to answer queries from multiple users.

Is it possible to remove number of private message limit only for Admin?

Answer 1

Good catch. Maybe the admin should be removed from all limits but that would affect more things than expected. So to keep the change small you can do this:

1. Locate this line: https://github.com/q2a/question2answer/blob/4fce0eb2390f56b645dad375d1d81e9f91a97e69/qa-include/pages/message.php#L78

2. Insert a new line immediately below it with this text:

if (qa_get_logged_in_level() < QA_USER_LEVEL_ADMIN)

The result in context should be:

switch (qa_user_permit_error(null, QA_LIMIT_MESSAGES)) {
    case 'limit':
        if (qa_get_logged_in_level() < QA_USER_LEVEL_ADMIN)
            $pageerror = qa_lang_html('misc/message_limit');
        break;
