• Hi guys,

    I’ve install this with the most up-to-date version of WP (3.9) and Buddypress (2.0) and bbPress (2.5.3). My site also requires ACF (4.3.7). With this cocktail of plugins the email subscription doesn’t work at all.

    I also use 10 more plugins, but even with them all deactivated the plugin still doesn’t work. I thought it could be a problem with my custom theme, but it doesn’t work with the Twenty Twelve theme either. No clues from wp_debug either.

    Has anyone experienced this and have suggestion for what I can do to get it working? I thought it could be an issue with my hosts mail server, but the bbPress subscription function works fine…

    I notice that on the main page it says this is only compatible with BP up to 1.8 – do I need to downgrade the plugin?

    Thank you for your help!!

    Oh and I have the activity streams enabled (know this is a common mistake).

    Can you be more specific about what you mean by “doesn’t work at all”? Nothing shows up on the front end? Emails aren’t being sent? Only digests are being sent? Any additional details you can give would be helpful.

    (Plugin should work fine with BP 2.0 – it just hasn’t had its version number bumped.)

    Thanks for the quick reply Boone and apologies for being vague. It looks fine from an admin point of view, all the backend options and front end settings appear. Changing a users settings works too. It just isn’t sending emails no matter what the setting a user chooses. There is also no content listed for the digests if I do the ?sum=1 check.

    I don’t actually use activity on the site – I have the buddypress activity module turned on for this plugin, but I’m hiding activity (except mentions) on the front end. I do have define( "BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT" , "profile" ); in wp-config, but even if I delete this it doesn’t send emails.

    To be honest, the digest would be nice, but all I’m after is enabling All Emails for all members for the forums of certain groups.

    Any thoughts?

    Can you say more about how you’re doing this? Do you mean you’ve just hidden it from the interface?

    How exactly are you testing this? What kinds of actions are you performing? Have you checked to see that activity items are being recorded in the first place?

    Yes, I’m just hiding the interface in my child theme. I don’t have any functions which act on activity that could be interfering. I’ve check the activity in the backend and it is recording everything perfectly.

    Right, I have no idea what I’ve done – I upgraded BP to 2.0.1 in the last few hours – but I’m starting to get some emails through. Maybe the upgrade fixed my issue?

    I’m testing the plugin by creating dummy forum topics and posts between two accounts I have email access too. I am now getting the emails, though there is some delay and some replies haven’t come through – but I’m posting in quick succession which wouldn’t normally have happen.

    I’ll continue to test over the next few days and let you know if the emails stop coming through. Does this sound more like a server issue than a plugin issue in my case?

    Thank you for your help (and your positive vibes which maybe got it working?!?)

    kjf9 – If you have disabled search engines from indexing your site, this affects how bbPress records items into BuddyPress, which directly affects how the Group Email Subscription plugin works.

    If this applies to you, check the wiki for a solution:
