Title: Weekly Digest not working Last modified: January 14, 2019 --- # Weekly Digest not working * [Strothi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/strothi/) * (@strothi) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-digest-not-working/) * Dear [@boonebgorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/), * first of all thanks so much for this great plugin! I have recently started to use it and for some reason, the weekly digests don’t end up in the send queue and are thus not being sent. Daily digest and everything else works like it should, but weekly digest don’t?! Any idea what could cause the issue? * Kind regards, Philip Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-digest-not-working/#post-11088541) * Hi Philip – Thanks for the note. * To be clear, the problem is not that weekly digests aren’t *sending*, it’s that items are not added to the weekly digest queue, right? These are two quite distinct problems. You can confirm by checking /?sum=1 while logged in as an admin. * The most likely cause is that, by default, BPGES only adds a subset of items to the weekly digest. Here are the default values: [https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/blob/3.8.x/bp-activity-subscription-functions.php#L984](https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/blob/3.8.x/bp-activity-subscription-functions.php#L984) * You can add to this with a filter callback: * ``` add_filter( 'ass_this_activity_is_important', function( $retval, $type ) { $my_custom_types = [ 'bbp_reply_create', 'new_group_member' ]; // add your own if ( in_array( $type, $my_custom_types, true ) ) { $retval = true; } return $retval; }, 10, 2 ); ``` * Thread Starter [Strothi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/strothi/) * (@strothi) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-digest-not-working/#post-11088560) * Hey, * Thanks for the quick reply. It’s actually both, it’s neither sending nor put into the queue which i can see as admin! * Haven’t tried your code yet cause i’m not in the office, but I don’t think that that would address the issue?! * Kind regards, Philip * Thread Starter [Strothi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/strothi/) * (@strothi) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-digest-not-working/#post-11102467) * Dear [@boonebgorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/), * did you see my response? The issue is not with a selection of items being put into the queue or not, but that nothing is being put into the queue and thus no digest is being sent!? Let me know if you need backend access to investigate what is causing the issue. * Kind regards, Philip * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-digest-not-working/#post-11102476) * You specifically mentioned the *weekly* digest. When you said this, I assumed that the daily digest *is* working. If that’s the case, then my code is likely the answer, because it forces items to appear in the weekly digest that otherwise would only appear in the daily digest. Can you confirm whether items are added to the daily digest? * Thread Starter [Strothi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/strothi/) * (@strothi) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-digest-not-working/#post-11102515) * Thanks for your quick reply [@boonebgorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) 🙂 * I did some further testing with various accounts. You are right, now that I tried with a new forum entry, it does show up in the weekly digest queue! * Looking at the code you linked to I thought that activity updates would always be put into the weekly digest, but that doesn’t seem to be the case?! * Should I use your snippet from above with “activity_update” as the value? And if so, put it into my function or directly change it in the plugin code? * Thanks so much for your help 🙂 * Plugin Author [Boone Gorges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boonebgorges/) * (@boonebgorges) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-digest-not-working/#post-11102530) * Correct – if you put ‘activity_update’ in the list of activity types above, then it should go into the weekly digest. So: * ``` $my_custom_types = [ 'activity_update' ]; // add your own ``` * You can also add whichever others you’d like. * Don’t put it directly in the plugin code – it’ll be overwritten on the next update. Instead, put it into your theme’s functions.php, or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom. php (you may have to create it; be sure it starts with `
