I am certain that the two members are subscribed to Daily Digest for the group.

The wp_bpges_subscriptions table looks like this

When I subscribe to All Emails to see if immediate emails work, nothing is sent out as well. So the problem looks to be for all emails sent by the plugin.

No, it is not happening. There is no new activity in the wp_bpges_queued_items table after posting to a group.

I am creating a group and a discussion within the group.

The initial discussion and the replies are loaded into the activity feed

I just posted a reply to a group and discussion that I created by another user and the notification did show up in the notifications section.

No email was sent out though, nor was anything added to the database table wp_bpges_queued_items

I think I have identified the issue. This function below is the culprit. Specifically the part about

“/** bbPress 2 ****************************************************/ // groan! bbPress 2 hacks! // // when bbPress first records an item into the group activity stream, it is // incomplete as it is first recorded on the ‘wp_insert_post’ action”

/**
 * Block some activity types from being sent / recorded in groups.
 *
 * @since 3.2.2
 */
function ass_default_block_group_activity_types( $retval, $type, $activity ) {

	/*
	 * Do not resend a previous bbPress forum item to the group.
	 *
	 * This can occur when unapproving a forum post and later, reapproving it.
	 * We do this by checking the forum post's '_bbp_activity_id' meta entry.
	 */
	if ( 'bbp_topic_create' === $type || 'bbp_reply_create' === $type ) {
		$prev_activity_id = get_post_meta( $activity->secondary_item_id, '_bbp_activity_id', true );
		if ( ! empty( $prev_activity_id ) ) {
			return false;
		}
	}

	switch( $type ) {

I am assuming the BuddyBoss has altered this and is no longer recording to the database like this. This does seem to fix the issue though after commenting out the section related to “case ‘bbp_reply_create’ :” and “case ‘bbp_topic_create’ :”.

One thing to mention is that new topics are not being sent in the daily digest even though the subscriber is set to daily digest. The new topic notifications are being sent immediately. The replies are being sent in the daily digest as expected. Maybe this is a consequence of commenting out the code?
