Known Issues

(1) bbPress doesn't record its forum posts into the group activity stream. Why?

If you have the "Search Engine Visibility" option disabled under Settings > Reading in the WP admin dashboard, due to a quirk with bbPress, no forum activity will be recorded into the BuddyPress activity stream.

Since GES relies on the activity stream, your users will never receive any group forum posts by email.

To solve this, either re-enable "Search Engine Visibility" by unchecking the option under Settings > Reading in the WP admin dashboard.

Or, use the following code snippet in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php to force (fool) bbPress into thinking that search engine visibility is on:

add_filter( 'bbp_is_site_public', '__return_true' );

(2) ALTERNATE_WP_CRON does not work properly

If you are using ALTERNATE_WP_CRON in wp-config.php, digests in BP Group Email Subscription will not work properly due to a WordPress core bug.

You can patch WordPress temporarily until WordPress address the problem.

(3) Can I send emails in batches?

If your host imposes a limit on the number of emails you can send, you might want the ability to throttle or send emails in batches.

One user has confirmed that the Mail Queues plugin works for them.
