(originally posted to WP forums; added here after a reminder)
Ok, I’m another WP/BP user who can’t get mail notifications working. Hours of searching forums and the net haven’t found a solution, so it’s time to try the forums. Here are my specs:
1. WordPress Version 2.9.2 — WP, not WP-MU (tried it, had the same problem)
2. WordPress is installed in a directory
3. It’s in a subdirectory off the root: myhost.com/wordpress
4. This was a fresh install, not an upgrate
5. WordPress works fine until I activate BuddyPress. Then all mail notification fails. When I deactivate BuddyPress, mail is fine again.
6. BuddyPress Version 1.2.1
7. Also a clean install of BP
8. Several other plugins installed, all but WP-Mail-SMTP have been deactivated. WP-Mail-SMTP is attempt to get this working via SMTP.
9. Using Theme BuddyPress Default
10. No modifications to the core files.
11. No custom fuctions.
12. Not running BBPress. (BP came with BBPress built in, but I deactivated it)
13. There appear to be no errors in the server log file. (There were some caused by the deactivating-BP-without-changing-themes white screen of death.)
14. My hosting company is HostMonster
So, I can register new users but they don’t get notification emails. When I use the “forgot my password” form, I get the message “The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…”
With BP deactivated, users get notification emails. Using the “forgot my password” form works fine and doesn’t give an error.
I’ve tried the SMTP approach with various plugins, email accounts set up on my server, and with gmail. My latest attempt uses an email account set up on my server and WP-Mail-SMTP with these settings:
* From email: wordpress@crimsoncurtain.com (a valid email account) From Name: Oh God, Please make this work
* Mailer: Send all WordPress emails via SMTP. (I also tried the PHP mail() option too – was getting desperate)
* SMTP Options (as provided by my host company):
SMPT Host: wordpress@crimsoncurtain.com
SMTP Port: 26 , No encryption, SMTP authorization userid & password.
(Also tried 26, 465 / SSL, TLS / No SMTP , etc)
With BP disabled this sends a test email just fine. Activate BP and I get (messages reduced):
…
The result was: bool(false)
… SMTP Error: The following SMTP Error: Data not accepted.myemail@hotmail.com
…
array(13) {
[“mailer_not_supported”]=> string(25) ” mailer is not supported.”
[“provide_address”]=> string(55) “You must provide at least one mailer is not supported.”
[“execute”]=> string(19) “Could not execute: “
[“instantiate”]=> string(36) “Could not instantiate mail function.”
[“authenticate”]=> string(35) “SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.”
[“from_failed”]=> string(35) “The following From address failed: “
[“data_not_accepted”]=> string(30) “SMTP Error: Data not accepted.”
[“recipients_failed”]=> string(56) “SMTP Error: The following SMTP Error: Data not accepted.”
[“connect_host”]=> string(43) “SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.”
[“file_access”]=> string(23) “Could not access file: “
[“file_open”]=> string(33) “File Error: Could not open file: “
[“encoding”]=> string(18) “Unknown encoding: “
[“signing”]=> string(15) “Signing Error: “
}
So, it really looks like BuddyPress is what’s keeping mail from working, and I’ve run out of ideas to try.
I’d love it if anyone has ideas on what the problem could be. Help! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Phillip
I’ve just installed Buddypress and Buddypress Themes Pack on a single WordPress 2.9.2 installation.
All seems to be running properly, but on the drop-down menu from the floating navbar, the only options I have under ‘Groups’ are My Groups and Invites. I don’t see ‘Add a group’.
I’ve got ‘Let users create, join and participate in Groups’ enabled under Component Setup in the Admin area.
I’d be very grateful for any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong, or where I might look for a solution.
Thanks…
Unfortunately I have the same problem as the two of you. I am running fresh installations – newest WPMU and BP.
It was running all fine.
Now I (admin) get no email notifications at all – users do not receive any either. The activation emails are not being sent. The WPMU ones are not sent out either.
I am using a catch-all email on my email host to be able to sign up with different emails on the same domain.
First thing I was thinking was whether BP or WP was thinking all this signup from the same email domain was SPAM and therefore closing down signups from my IP or whatever.
I have searched for answers and found this: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13039
Apparently some hosts do not allow automated emails to be sent out.
(However, if my host do not allow this, how come it worked fine for two weeks?)
Only plugin I have installed is the cets-blog-defaults. I have tried to deactivate it, but it does not help.
This is really frustrating
I’m trying to display the sign up username in the directory but it’s showing empty space instead
Here’s part of the code:
<div class="item-title">
<a href="<?php bp_member_permalink() ?>"><?php bp_displayed_user_username() ?></a>
<?php if ( bp_get_member_latest_update() ) : ?>
<span class="update"> - <?php bp_member_latest_update( 'length=10' ) ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>Can someone let me know what I did wrong?
[wordpress2.9.2+buddypress1.2.1]
I have a previouslt existing wordpress based blog and I would like to feature it on the main page of BuddyPress. Is this possible and how do I do it? I don’t want to create a brand new blog on BuddyPress because the existing one has been around for over a year and I need to ensure the archives are transferred.
