BuddyPress.org

So we’re using the “BuddyPress Group Email Subscription” plugin, and are experiencing a bottleneck when members submit a reply to a topic within a BP group. It can take 15-30 seconds for the reply to finish, from the moment of clicking “reply” to page reload.

Looks like this is because the reply doesn’t finish posting until all notification emails are composed and sent. There’s a plugin to solve this for bbpress (AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions), but nothing I can find to solve the problem when it’s the BP email sending routine that’s being used.

Does anyone have a solution to eliminate the slow reply issue here? We want to continue using the subscriptions plugin for several other reasons, so eliminating it isn’t the solution we’re looking for.

Thanks for the help.

Plugin we’re using: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/
