Plugin Incompatibility (BuddyPress Group Email Subscription)

[David]

Greetings,

I have used in the past for all my buddypress sites the plugin called “BuddyPress Group Email Subscription”. I have found that this plugin does not work with the Boss theme. When I switch the theme to any other theme it works fine. Just not with the Boss for some reason.

I am hoping that there is something that can be done as this plugins functionality is so important to my site. (Allows users to subscribe to daily or weekly digests of group activity)

Specifically where the plugin fails with this theme is there is a link placed on each group for setting the users desired subscriptions. With the Boss theme the link does nothing when clicked. (This link is a javascript function)

Any chance you could look into why the theme is causing this?

Hi @dnosker we have got the issue and it will be fixed in new updates

<?php do_action( 'bp_group_header_meta' ); ?> need to be called between
<div id="item-header" role="complementary"> </div>
instead of
<div id="group-description"> </div>

Email subscription plugin have js linked with particular class #item-header and that js is not getting objects between those one thus it is not displaying any action.

Is there any manual fix I could do on my own? Not sure I understood your note above and what file to make changes in?

Thanks much, your a life saver!

Hello @vapvarun

Any news on when this fix will be released? Not being pushy, just really wanting to get this fixed for my users.

I did not see the fix in the March 28 update. Is there anything I do manually to fix this while waiting for the official fix?

Thanks so much!

Hi @vapvarun,

We have the same problem that @dnosker describes in this post.

We are using BuddyPress Group Email Subscription and there are links placed in each group for users to set their desired subscription. With the Boss theme, the links do not work when clicked.

Can we download a version of bp-activity-subscription-js.js which is compatible with BuddyPress Group Email Subscription?

Thanks.

Hey @caasc, @rugwarrior and @dnosker , It is fixed inside our current Boss theme update (1.1.9), please check and let me know you still have any issues with it.

Thanks for your reply @vapvarun.
It’s still not working on our production or staging sites.
When hovering and clicking on the link to change email preferences, the status says:
javascript:void(0);

The link to change email preferences inside a group looks like this:
[Your email status is All Email (change)]

We already updated to Boss 1.1.9.
The only active plugins are bbPress, BuddyPress, and BuddyPress Group Email Subscription.

If you want to test this out, you should be able to create an account and join a group on the staging site:

Hi @vapvarun,
It was great to see your reply. Thank you very much.
It was exciting to see the notification to update to Boss. 1.2.0.
It is disappointing though that this bug has still not been fixed in 1.2.0.
We understand the miscommunication and look forward to this finally being resolved.
Thanks again.
