Stopped working?

Can you please give details about what “stopped working altogether” means? Are you no longer seeing emails going out? Do you no longer see any items in the interface?

My site locks up when a new group message is posted. I’m using wordpress 4, latest buddypress and version of your plugin.

If I disable your plugin, it all works again.

@simonbennett – What do you mean by “My site locks up when a new group message is posted”?

Do you mean a new forum post when using the bbPress plugin in a group?

Try running the latest development version and see if that fixes things:

It would be better if you could post a debug log when the error occurs:

This will help us pinpoint the bug.

Sorry Ray, it is in a forum group wall. If I post a status update and press ‘post’- it just hangs there – forever and the whole site locks up. Only after restarting mySQL or Apache on the server will the site become operational again, but the status update shows, haha.

I tried the new version above – same issue.Debugging shows no errors.

@simonbennett – Have you previously used this plugin successfully?

I’m guessing the problem occurs because of the number of members in the group and the number of subscriptions in that group. Is the number large? If so, that is the issue.

Right now, after a post is submitted, the plugin sends email before re-rendering the page. So when there is a large email queue, the server has to send out all the email before sending a response back to the server. This is causing the hanging. Keep your eye on this:

I’ve been meaning to spend some time refactoring part of the sending code, but always get side-tracked.

As an alternative, you could also try using an email queueing plugin like Mail Queues in conjunction with this plugin to see if that helps.

I suspect that’s probably the issue, even though the group size is only around 500. I’ll try a Mail Queue plugin. Thanks Jay ??

Mail Queues plugin crashed my WP Email plugin ??

The only solution would be the fix on your plugin by the looks of it.

Ray,

Are you able to offer me paid support on this?

Has the problem been fixed with the latest update?
Does it send all the digest email at the same time as well?

Hi,
Do you have solved the problem when there are a lot of users in a group?
Thank’s very much for your answer.

Hi,
I have look the follow plugin: “WordPress Social Invitations”.
They sent mail from 3 options:
1. From WordPres SIte
2. From Free SMTP (ex smtp.gmail.com)
3. From From Profesional SMTP

I think this is a good solution for this plugin.

At this time do the plugin run good for a group over 500 users?

Thank’s for your support
