BuddyPress – Emails not working

Hi there,

I found many other threads about this problem, but it seems nothing works out on my end. I have the latest version of WordPress and BuddyPress, have not that many plugins installed.

All other emails are working and even I receive an email about a new user registration. But the new user don’t receives his activation email or new friend email.

I use Sendgrid for emails which I have set up with WP Mail SMTP. Test emails are working, only BuddyPress emails are not working. BuddyPress emails are also not visible in Sendgrid, so they never leave WordPress.

Also tried to do a repair from Tools -> BuddyPress (Reinstall emails -delete and restore from defaults) but that also doesn’t work out. I’m out of ideas. Such functionality should work out of the box.

Hope anyone can help me out here.

Thanks in advance.
Justin

Quick update: once I deactivate the WP Mail SNTP plugin which I have set up with Sendgrid the emails of BuddyPress start working again.

So it seems because because WP Mail SMTP Reconfigures wp_mail() BuddyPress mails gets broken or something.

Still have no clue why it isn’t working with WP Mail SMTP.

Thanks @vapvarun I will have a look into this. Using the default wp_mail() settings seems to work now, but it’s not a final solution for me since I want to use an external mail provider.

Have added it to my to do’s to dive into it.

Hi N33d, is there a reason you are not using the sendgrid plugin?

Hi @iamthewebb,

Thank you for your reply. Well, the reviews aren’t great and the plugin isn’t updated in 2(!) years. So I won’t touch that with all possible vulnerabilities with an outdated plugin. Also WP Mail SMTP has +x10 more users than the Sendgrid plugin.

Thanks for pointing that plugin out though.

@vapvarun Thanks, but would you trust a plugin which is not updated over 2 years of time?
