This is a known issue. See https://buddypress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-buddypress-2-5-master-list/#post-250544

We’re still trying to figure out the cause.

Can you link me to what Mandrill plugin you are using, please?

Right, IPs that were previously blacklisted will also have deliverability problems.
About headers, it’s not so much *how* to configure the headers, but what *changes* you might be suggesting we should make.

I don’t know what email client you use but pretty much everything lets you view the Raw email, which includes the headers. A quick Google…[Read more]

@nkeatign True, but you’ll be able to take the (rendered) HTML and send that to SendGrid, so it’ll send the nice version of the email.

@neev07 I’m not sure there’s anything we can do to fix this yet, but you might be able to do some research and figure out if there’s any adjustments we can make.

I suspect the content in the email is going to play a big part (e.g. number of links, images or not, and so on).

For example, you could get a bunch of email accounts on services like…[Read more]

Still thinking about other problems reported in this thread.

@fidelleon Thanks for testing!

Support for “WP-Mail-SMTP” and “Easy WP SMTP” will be fixed in BuddyPress 2.5.1.
See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6945 for tech details.

And keep an eye on https://buddypress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-buddypress-2-5-master-list/.

Thanks everyone for reporting these issues.

Support for “WP-Mail-SMTP” and “Easy WP SMTP” will be fixed in BuddyPress 2.5.1.
See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6945 for tech details.

Note that filters like wp_mail_from will continue to not be supported. See previous posts for how to implement the change in new versions of BuddyPRess.

This will be fixed in BuddyPress 2.5.1.

This will be fixed in BuddyPress 2.5.1.

@rogercoathup Hi. Assuming those plugins re-implenment wp_mail(), as I expect most do, yes. Things will continue to work. They’ll get plain text versions of the BuddyPress emails, just the same as in previous BuddyPress releases (though some emails’ sentences have been tweaked/rephrased).

@djpaul — are you saying that existing sites with transactional email systems will continue to work if they upgrade to 2.5 (we have clients using both SendGrid and Mandrill – via their recommended WP plugins)?

@shanebp I activated different themes on a test site, and replicated the issue with WP 2015, as Dan confirmed. However, the issue did not persist when using Genesis, 2013, or Flourish (Genesis Child Theme by Restored 316).

The theme being used on the amongstlovelythings.com site is Beautiful, a Genesis Child Theme, albeit an older one.

I can tell right now that anyone using the “Easy WP SMTP” plugin are going to have problems with BuddPress 2.5+, but I think we can fix it.

@fidelleon – you sound like you’re up for experimenting! – can you download this file https://gist.github.com/paulgibbs/5e69eb7d080e992a8bc7 and add the .PHP file to your mu-plugins folder and test…[Read more]

@lanvalencia I and others will try to get to help you as soon as possible.

None of us gets paid for contributing to BuddyPress. It’s the weekend. I have about 6 other forum discussions open where I’m trying to figure out why emails aren’t being sent at *all*, and that’s my current (personal) priority.

People with email delivery problems: who’s your webhost?

Hi @nkeatign

It ought to be totally do-able, but you’ll need to write it. If BuddyPress detects that something has re-implemented WordPress’ wp_mail function (like the Sendgrid plugin does), then it’ll use the plain text version of the email and pass that to wp_mail to let the custom wp_mail implementation deliver the email.

I am not aware of…[Read more]

@casiepa very recent behavior!

@shanebp switched to 2015 and the issue persisted. Is there a private method to provide a user/pw?

Thank you.

Hi Gretchen,

Is this behaviour recent ? Or did it work correctly before ?

Pascal.
