Hi, Venutius, On the site Users register as belonging to one of four parties (eg democrat, republican, progressive, libertarian), based on a profile field radio button. Users want to be able to have a list of all members in each of the four parties. I’m thinking this will best be done from the members page. Can this be achieved with your plugin? If so, can you walk me through the basic workflow? Thanks
Thank you for the tips. I’ll check those out asap. It seems strange to me that mobile and desktop are different for the activity dropdown, does that offer any additional clue?
I called them first, they said they weren’t set up to handle a buddypress social networking site that relies on email notifications. Did they tell you something different?
I’m not crazy about the iframe solution, but I do believe it can allow invite to private server on discord, which would be useful, but I’m not sure. I’m going to play with it in staging and post back here on results.
Check with your host, to make sure you’re not exceeding your email limit, or that you’re not getting throttled for activity or user abuse. I suggest this first because you seem to have an inconsistent pattern of users receiving and not receiving. Also, I would do some test sign-ups using different emails to see if there is a pattern there, and then I would start looking for plugin conflicts. Please let us know what you determine, it would be helpful to know
Thank you Vapvarun for the reassurance on MailGun.
I had a few quick follow-up questions, I was hoping you could help me with:
1. Do you recommend I go into “maintenance mode” before switching the email service to Mailgun or do you have any other workflow suggestions for making the email service change on a very active site?
2. When a member gets a site generated notification is the sender email always the site email, even if it’s to notify them of a message from another member, in other words, is one MailGun account (subject to the email limit I purchase) going to do the trick for a large buddypress membership site?
3. When a member messages a member inside the site, is this through their email?
And if you have any documentation on this that would be great too. I’m having trouble trying to understand how email/notifications/messaging in a buddypress site functions, and then in turn how to solve our problem of exceeding our hosts* 500 per day email limit.
Thank you again!
*Interestingly GetFlyWheel use SendGrid but when I contacted SendGrid they referred me to MailGun
