Hi there,

We just installed bbPress 2.0.2 on the latest version of WordPress. Everything is working great, except that when someone subscribes to a topic they never receive the email notifications. Regular WordPress notifications (such as new user registration) work fine. Any idea what’s wrong? The only other plugins we have are small things like random quote widget and weather widget.

Thanks!

Okay…we resolved the issue by installing a SMTP plugin for WordPress.

The default mail() function apparently works fine for the basic WordPress functions but for some reason it wouldn’t work with the bbPress plugin. So we went around it.

Glad to here you got it sorted out. Not sure why that happens – I’ve encountered it with other plugins as well.
