    Group Admins are not able to send Email Notice to Everyone. This email option works when I, as Network Admin, send an email notice. Regular site members that are Group Admins can compose a message but it does not get sent. Submitting the message clears the message box but no error message is generated. Any suggestions?
    Using WP 3.1 & BP 1.2.8

    hey mark, i’ve been too busy to test the plugin with wp 3.1. But I’m not sure that is the source of the problem. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

    Thanks for the feedback @Dwenaus. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone using wp3.1 and bp1.2.8 that can confirm or not (on their install) the ability for regular users as Group Admins to send email to every group member.

    hey, i looked at this finally, and noticed the error. it is fixed so now group admins can send out the email.

  • I am having the same issue and I am a site admin as well as a group admin. This issue seems to have started for me AFTER the plugin upgrade, was working fine before.

    I think before no error was generated, but in fact, the email never got sent if you were a group admin and not the site admin. I’m planning on re-writing this whole aspect of the plugin to be much better, for example, group and admins should be able to write the post as a forum post and just click a check mark that says ‘email to everyone’. the benefit is that now there is a record of that post on the website. the current system does not keep a record. Anyone feel like funding the development on this?

  • Well, I’m both site admin and group admin, so it should work for me.

  • Has anyone been able to get this to work? I still can’t send out emails to all group members. I’m both group admin and a site admin.

    After the last update of the plugin – Email sending doesn’t work anymore…
    There IS a problem with the plugin, i think…

    Dear all,

    Love this plugin. Vital on the schoolforum we are trying to build at present.
    Same problem here though,,. Can’t send direct admin group emails.
    Everything else works perfectly
    Anyone found a fix? Codetweak?

    @Dwenaus.
    New to Buddypress and have not been part of a project before but would love that functionality and could perhaps be part in funding in some way. Not huge board and no huge resources, but will try if needed!
