activation emails not sending. I am using smtp via a plugin called WP Mail SMTP. All emails are sending except from the bbpress ones for activating email.

This is still a huge problem, all emails are not working from bbpress.

so what do you mean by ‘activation’ ?

bbpress just uses wordpress ‘registration’
bbpress has ‘subscriptions’

so not sure what ‘activation’ you are meaning?

[zoddshop63]

bbpress doesnt send any emails… activation emails, forgot password, subscription, etc..
the page bbp-register shortcode has register option which sends an email but since no email is sent no user can register.

ok start with

https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/ and set up logging

this will tell you if the site is trying to send emails, and you can see what address it is trying to send from, which I suspect is what your email system does not like.

if it is the sending email address, you can change this using

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

ok its working, its the buddypress emails that dont work. thank u

@zoddshop63 I’ve had many problems with buddypress emails never reaching their recipients. Did you figure anything out?

[Robin W]

install the ‘check and log’ plugin, enable logging and see if the issue is sending from the site or within your email system. so if showing in the log, then website is creating.

May well be the sending address, you could use style pack to change the sending address to a real one, lots of email stuff hate ‘noreply@’ addressses

Install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails
