BuddyPress.org

I’m using messages_new_message() to programmatically send out messages to select admin(s) when a user completes their profile (based on certain guidelines), or previous completed their profile and made an update.

array(7) {
["content"]=>
string(0) ""
["date_sent"]=>
string(19) "2023-10-23 17:39:13"
["error_type"]=>
string(4) "bool"
["recipients"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(26703)
}
["sender_id"]=>
string(5) "26553"
["subject"]=>
string(4) "test"
["thread_id"]=>
bool(false)
}
Success

To call this function, I’m using an Ajax call to trigger it & provide the necessary data. I have a var_dump() on the $message_args variable that’s passed to the messaging function, the output of which can be seen above. And the Success message is from messages_new_message().

The problem is that I’m not seeing the message show up on the site end, nor in the database. Messages are working in a general sense, as if I use the built-in functionality to send messages it works as intended, though.

Is there any further debugging flags that can be added when calling messages_new_message()? If not, where should I look in particular to see if something else (cron?) may be at fault?
