update2: found shane’s answer here:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/196929/how-to-get-member-list-based-on-role-by-using-buddypress

…and got it to work to only show a single role, which covers about half the users I want to show. I don’t really understand array syntax, but am now neck-deep in the new “role__in” thing in 4.4

…and finally got it to work, after finding https://gist.github.com/sbrajesh/2142009 (the most recent comment is key, bringing in “role__in”

update: I was able to exclude basic roles using the discussion in the end of this thread https://buddypress.org/support/topic/alphabetically-displaying-only-buddypress-users-in-multisite/

..but can’t get it working reliably with my membership plugin’s roles (PMPro), and it doesn’t update member counts, so I’m going to try the buddydev plugin method.

I’m trying to solve this as well. I’d hoped for a simple custom fix, but it looks like this might be able to accomplish something similar?

Hi,

I just had a similar problem problem where emails were working perfectly from WordPress and BB press but not from Buddypress for some reason even tho my SMTP plugins were working.

It turned out that the SMTP plugins I were using weren’t applying the configuration on Buddypress emails for some reason. The plugins that did not work for me were:Configure SMTP, Easy WP SMTP, WP-Mail-SMTP.

The plugin for me that did succeed in setting the smtp for buddypress email notifications was ‘Postman SMTP’. I think it might be worth a shot trying this plugin to see if it works with this plugin.
I have no idea why the other SMTP plugins didn’t work but this plugin did and it might work for you as well. Good luck

One thing I have noticed is that HTML is not working other than hyperlinks. It’s a rather plain email (which is fine), but when you want something to work…well, the BuddyPress email customization function seems to be overridden by the Postman SMTP plugin. Again, not a big deal but if it is supposed to work, then why is it not?

Woohoo! @berkelmudez excellent find!…….I have been working on this problem for three days and you are right; any combo of other SMTP plugins with various other mailing plugins etc. just did not work. Postman SMTP plugin suggests the proper port to use (of which I tried prior, but had everything else wrong!) and fixed all notifications.

Note for others having this same problem: My system would only send out certain notifications regarding signups and email changes but anything dealing with activity in the BuddyPress system (why we USE BuddyPress!) it would not notify users of activity. Try the Postman SMTP plugin and get rid of the other stuff.

Thank you for sharing ! If you want to help out more, read also this topic from @djpaul.

Hi,
you need to network activate, even if you have only one subsite and what ever the sub option (sub-dir or sub-domain) is.

Mostly, BP is activated on the main site.

your-site.com/ – here sit WordPress and BuddyPress and depending your options:

your-site.com/my_second_blog/ (sub-dir)
or
my_second_blog.your-site.com (sub-domain)

Installation in WordPress Multisite

Configure BuddyPress for Multisite

Ola,

BP doesn’t handle login and has no captcha system. BP offers only a login widget. Do you use it ?

Apparently, some stylesheets aren’t loaded properly.
Deactivate Total cache and bwp-minify and see if it remains.
Once done, enable Twenty Fifteen or Sixteen and give a try.

If it works, you have to check the theme AND your child-theme.

I used wp mail smtp, the plugin itself works, my smtp settings are correct, test mail gets send and received perfectly and no errors. But for some reason the smtp settings don’t apply to the buddypress mailing.

But it doesn’t matter anymore I guess, I now use ‘Postman SMTP’ which send buddypress emails perfect via smtp. I have no idea why buddypress mailing doesn’t work with me with wp mail smtp and other smtp plugins but it does work with Postman smtp for some reason.
Atleast the problem is solved now for me, so I’m already happy with that.

@redokodesign Do you know how to access raw email headers, in whatever email client you use?

If so, can you copy/paste the email headers of a WordPress email that you’ve received from the site (i.e. one that is working correctly and was sent)? Can you also share with me the “to” “from” “bcc” “cc” parts of the text that the BuddyPress email debug plugin sent you?

You can find my email address on https://profiles.wordpress.org/djpaul/

I have a suspicion this is something to do with the “from” or “reply to” properties being different for each email, but I need the data to prove this, and what SMTP plugin you are using to see how it is configuring WordPress.

@ala7lam if you go to Settings > BuddyPress you should see a check box next to Extended Profiles. If you uncheck that, the xProfile component becomes disabled. Then you can add your own custom solution (using WordPress usermeta if you wish).

@davbot How you found a way to fix this? I use ‘Easy WP SMTP’ which perfectly sends emails from WordPress and BBpress as well but not Buddypress, which doesn’t send registration emails or any type of Buddypress action. Seems like it’s ignoring my my smtp plugin as well.

Try WPLMS it is an LMS on BuddyPress : http://themeforest.net/item/wplms-learning-management-system/6780226

Hello,
I try to translate Buddypress Emails into german. At the moment all Emails are listed are in English. I try to use the “reinstall emails” tool and always get the english version of the emails.

On this ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6592 you mentioned the problem but I can find the solution.

I set define( ‘WPLANG’, ‘de_DE’ ) in the wp_config and also download the newest translation files from here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/de/default

What can I do to get the german version of the emails?

Thank you for your help!
