No WP new user emails being sent - buddypress issue about wordpress-sparkpost HOT 9 CLOSED

So it turns out, there is a very quick & easy solution. buddypress developers already made it possible to ignore their own implementation of wp_mail and fallback to wordpress's default wp_mail (which will allow sparkpost plugin to do its magics). If you add the following snippet (functions.php of your theme or similar), it should just work.

add_filter('bp_email_use_wp_mail', function() {
  return true;
});

Thank you so much for investigating this for me.
This is working great!
All the email is sent over sparkpost now.

@rajumsys This is perfect - I looked for 3 days on this solution, you are magic!

This seems to be an incompatibility with the way BuddyPress handles emails, and SparkPost implements it's SMTP settings.

What SparkPost does is extend the PHPMailer class and then overwrite a global $phpmailer variable with this new class.

https://github.com/SparkPost/wordpress-sparkpost/blob/master/sparkpost.class.php#L102-L109

However BuddyPress instantiates a new instance of PHPMailer when it's dealing with emails.

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/src/bp-core/classes/class-bp-phpmailer.php#L28-L37

So it doesn't look like they're compatible at the moment.

Closing as dupe of #31 - let's continue discussion there.

@richleland - BuddyPress ≠ bbPress

It seems the bbPress issue is just when using the API as it uses BCC.

This issue is that BuddyPress creates a new instance of the PHPMailer class and then does it's emails. While this plugins implementation is to grab the global $phpmailer variable and replace it with an instance of it's own class, which is simply discarded in the BuddyPress implementation.
