bbPress BuddyPress compatibility

  • @mc_will

    I am running BuddyPress & bbPress (for group forums through BP) on my website. My hosting service is WP Engine and doesn’t support the PHP mail() function. That is the main reason that I use Mandrill (not the only reason).

    I am facing an issue with the bbPress group forums on my BuddyPress website. The issue is with the following checkbox that is displayed for any logged-in user when viewing any topic/thread in any forum — “Notify me of follow-up replies via email”. Even when I check this, it isn’t sent.

    I believe this is because wpMandrill only replaces all of the default WordPress mail functions, but this one is only there because my use of the famous bbPress plugin. I believe that if this was added in an update, the wpMandrill plugin would be completely bbPress & BuddyPress plugin, which would help a lot of people (including me)!

    Is there any way that you can help me out with this?

    Hey RandonGuy,

    You lost on the third paragraph, sorry ??

    What I can tell is that if that bbPress’ feature (“Notify me of follow-up replies via email”) doesn’t use the standard wp_mail function, those emails won’t be sent by Mandrill…

    Jusdt checked bbPress code. Seems that they are using wp_main to send their emails. However, they are applying a filter to the headers parameters of wp_mail which might be preventing wpMandrill to send the email if another process add non-supported headers.

    bbPress v2.3.2: ./includes/common/functions.php Line 1095

    Have you checked your server’s log? Take a look and see if wpMandrill leave any trace there that might help troubleshoot what’s going on in your server.

    Haven’t been able to see anything related in error logs, but I only have a limited view. Would you please test your plugin with a similar setup and see what your results are?

    After testing, would you look into a solution for this (making wpMandrill send the email with the header that bbPress is using)?

    Please respond as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

    Sorry therandomguy12345. I’d recommend you to use the mandrill_payload filter and check what are they adding to the headers field… and change it accordingly.

    I’m not much of a programmer myself, so I’ll need quite a bit of help here. If you can lead me through process, I should be able to take care of it though.

    I didn’t follow what to do. Remember that I will need step-by-step instruction due to my limited knowledge.

    Would you please explain in more detail? Please respond as soon as possible. It’s really appreciated.

    It’s not that easy therandomguy12345, sorry ?? You’ll need to find a programmer to do it.
