Ok, to answer my own question the solution was to select the ‘Reset emails (delete and reset to default values).’ option in wp admin > tools > buddypress > repair

Thank you for the help! indeed the issue was missing templates for some reason.

I am very sorry for the confusing. I wasn’t aware of that part that needed to be activated. In the BP settings I activated Activity and then, as you said, I could mention a person. I both mentioned me and in another post I mentioned someone else. Neither me or the other person received any email.

Now I did check the Emails > All Emails page in the admin and I only found 6 of them.
Is there a way of restoring the 21 email templates as you suggested? I assume that this indeed is causing the issue.

I found these options in the repair tool of buddy press emails, but I will not click anything before I’m sure what it might cause:
(used google translater from dutch).

• Reset all BuddyPress slugs to default slugs.
• Fix the total group count for each member.
• Fix the total member count.
• Reset emails (delete and reset to default values).
• Create the database table for invitations and migrate existing group invitations if necessary./li>

Thank you for the response.

– Yes, the situation applies to all users, or well, the most for which I could test ofcourse.

– I cannot mention myself in activity posts on our site for I don’t know which reason, so I can’t test that unfortunately.

What I did:
in wp-content/plugins/ i created a file called bp-custom.php and added the following:

<?php add_filter('bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true');

I am sorry for the ambiguity, it is option 1.

fot the BP process, both emails are being sent. However, for the buddyPress frontend, verify “your new email address” is not being sent.
