Compatibility with BP 2.5.0 and a locked down site

[Jen]

Reply by email doesn’t seem to be working with BP 2.5.0 (I think). Big changes were made to emails in this version of BP and the “Write above this line to post a reply” is showing up in the emails being sent by the newest version of BP. When I tested a reply to a BP email, it didn’t work. However, the plugin’s built in test is working fine.

I read in another thread that there may be some issues with a locked down website. We are using BuddyPress Members Only (https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/) to secure the site. Are there any considerations that need to be made here? Note that the Reply by email built in test works fine, even with the lockdown. It is just the standard BP emails that it doesn’t seem to work with.

Hi @jenko, I have notified about the issue to our development team they will check it and test the compatibility with BP 2.5.0 proper..It will take some time to fix it with current version of BP..
I will get back to you when we get it solved.

Hi @Pallavi Just checking back to see if the development team has had a chance to review my problem. You had said they would look into it.
Thanks!

Hi @jenko, Sorry for inconvenience.

Our team is working on compatibility with BP email template with RBE , it should be fixed in our next update.

For immediate fix

you can added following codes to disable BP emails template inside child theme functions.php

add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );

@jenko We have added a bunch of fixes for compatibility with the latest version of BuddyPress, available in our latest release, v1.0.2, available today.

BuddyPress 2.5 itself has some issues with emails not being sent out, not related to our plugin. We discovered many of those issues during testing and have submitted patches to BuddyPress core, which I expect to be included in a future release of BuddyPress.
