Messages - way to access them?

I have checked the box to store messages in the database. However, how are we able to access messages between our members, eg if someone is seen to be flouting the rules.

Please advise.

Go to your messages in your HP profile. You will be able to read all conversations from there as if they were your conversations. Basically just check your message inbox as a normal user on the frontend.

Step1. Login as admin
Step2. Go to example.com/account/messages

Is there not a way in the actual back end of WordPress?

Unfortunately not at this time.
