Hello,

I use the Better Notifications for WP plugin to override the default WP emails.
However, the email change confirmation email cannot be overwritten by the BNFW plugin.
This is what they wrote:

bbPress is overriding BNFW and has a higher priority when sending out notifications. This would be something that would have to be changed in bbPress in order to be compatible.

If I deactivate bbPress and change the password on the WP profile page, the BNFW confirmation email will be sent.

So the bug is in bbPress anyway, as it doesn’t allow to overwrite the confirmation email.

How can this error be fixed?

I appreciate any ideas!

can you ask BNFW what filter/action they are hooking to – they will know what that phrase means – I can then find this in bbpress, and hopefully give you a solution

Thank you for your answer!

email_change_email for the ‘User Email Changed – For User’ notification.

new_user_email_content for the ‘User Email Changed Confirmation – For User’ notification.

I think I only need the last one because it sends the ‘User Email Changed – For User’ notification.

hmm…bbpress doesn’t use either of those filters

what other bbpress related plugins are you using ?

[@robertherold Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

bbp style pack
bbPress Mentions Email Notifications
bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
GD bbPress Tools

But I have already tried to deactivate them all.

that’s fine, just checking other possibilities.

so with just bbpress and BNFW you have the issue – yes ?
and this is user changing email address by going to ‘edit my profile’ and changing their email – yes
and then disable bbpress and the problem goes ?

Sorry if questions seem repetitive or picky – but history has shown if I don’t double check, I can spend hours chasing the wrong problem 🙂

I have installed wordpress, bbpress and BNFW in a new directory and the error persists:
If I edit the email address on the bbPress profile page, WP will send a confirmation email.
If I edit the email address on the admin page, BNFW will send a confirmation email.

Oh, I see you found the BNFW support page 🙂

What ended this? Because I’m lost. Are we waiting for something now?

I thought BNFW were fixing?
