Right, IPs that were previously blacklisted will also have deliverability problems.
About headers, it’s not so much *how* to configure the headers, but what *changes* you might be suggesting we should make.

I don’t know what email client you use but pretty much everything lets you view the Raw email, which includes the headers. A quick Google…[Read more]

@nkeatign True, but you’ll be able to take the (rendered) HTML and send that to SendGrid, so it’ll send the nice version of the email.

@neev07 I’m not sure there’s anything we can do to fix this yet, but you might be able to do some research and figure out if there’s any adjustments we can make.

I suspect the content in the email is going to play a big part (e.g. number of links, images or not, and so on).

For example, you could get a bunch of email accounts on services like…[Read more]

Still thinking about other problems reported in this thread.

@fidelleon Thanks for testing!

Support for “WP-Mail-SMTP” and “Easy WP SMTP” will be fixed in BuddyPress 2.5.1.
See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6945 for tech details.

And keep an eye on https://buddypress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-buddypress-2-5-master-list/.

Thanks everyone for reporting these issues.

Support for “WP-Mail-SMTP” and “Easy WP SMTP” will be fixed in BuddyPress 2.5.1.
See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6945 for tech details.

Note that filters like wp_mail_from will continue to not be supported. See previous posts for how to implement the change in new versions of BuddyPRess.

This will be fixed in BuddyPress 2.5.1.

This will be fixed in BuddyPress 2.5.1.

@rogercoathup Hi. Assuming those plugins re-implenment wp_mail(), as I expect most do, yes. Things will continue to work. They’ll get plain text versions of the BuddyPress emails, just the same as in previous BuddyPress releases (though some emails’ sentences have been tweaked/rephrased).

I can tell right now that anyone using the “Easy WP SMTP” plugin are going to have problems with BuddPress 2.5+, but I think we can fix it.

@fidelleon – you sound like you’re up for experimenting! – can you download this file https://gist.github.com/paulgibbs/5e69eb7d080e992a8bc7 and add the .PHP file to your mu-plugins folder and test…[Read more]

@lanvalencia I and others will try to get to help you as soon as possible.

None of us gets paid for contributing to BuddyPress. It’s the weekend. I have about 6 other forum discussions open where I’m trying to figure out why emails aren’t being sent at *all*, and that’s my current (personal) priority.

People with email delivery problems: who’s your webhost?

Hi @nkeatign

It ought to be totally do-able, but you’ll need to write it. If BuddyPress detects that something has re-implemented WordPress’ wp_mail function (like the Sendgrid plugin does), then it’ll use the plain text version of the email and pass that to wp_mail to let the custom wp_mail implementation deliver the email.

I am not aware of…[Read more]

People who are having problems: as far as I know, we have never seen this problem before during testing. If someone like you had helped us test BuddyPress 2.5 in beta or release candidate stage about four weeks ago, we’d have fixed it prior to release.

We’ll get it fixed as soon as we figure out what the problem is.

I was just thinking about it…[Read more]

Cool!

There’s no way to filter or halt the action; I suppose it MIGHT be possible to intercept it inside wp_mail() but it’d be awkward.

Thanks for your feedback, @backpackersunion. I’ll let others chime in as I spent a long time working on the email feature, so it’s close to my heart, but here’s my thoughts:

Decisions, not options.
It’s much easier to add options than it is to remove options.
It’s risky to add options or features unless you’re sure what your users want, so…[Read more]

@airsid

IF your translation file is up to date (have you re-downloaded the files to check?), those strings should be getting translated.

Otherwise, another option is to edit the email template. Copy buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/assets/emails/single-bp-email.php into your theme and make whatever changes you want.

BP emails enabled (the default) + WP Better Emails = email is sent in the WP Better Emails template.

BP emails disabled + WP Better Emails = email is sent in the WP Better Emails template.

I don’t know why you’re having problems with this — hopefully we’ll figure it out — but it seems like there’s something particular to your site or host…[Read more]

If the filter bp_email_use_wp_mail returns true, it’ll grab the “plain text” version of the email from BuddyPress, and send that to wp_mail(). BuddyPress does not re-implement wp_mail().

BuddyPress will also fall back to use wp_mail() if it detects that any other plugin has re-implemented that function (pretty common in email plugins), or if…[Read more]
