      Hi Jeremy,

      I did some digging and it looks like this happens when the auth code gets encoded by Google. I’ll work on a fix and release it by Friday.

      Cheers,
      Vinny

      Hi Jeremy,

      I’ve released the fix in version 2.6.3. Please disconnect and reconnect the plugin from your gmail account for it to work.

      Cheers,
      Vinny

      Hi Vinny,

      Thanks for the update. We are no longer receiving that error message. However, I am having trouble editing the email notifications which we receive. I have checked the bbpnns plugin notification and it is not the same as what I am receiving with a Topic creation or Reply.

      This is the email I am receiving:

      “##-If you want to reply, type it above this line-##

      Hello!

      A new reply has been posted by Arianna Julie.
      Topic title: Reply To: New Topic for Link CHange
      Topic url: (hidden)

      Excerpt: Test a reply by Arianna.”

      Whereas this is the ‘Email Body’ in bbpnns settings:

      “Hello!

      A new reply has been posted by [reply-author].
      Topic title: [reply-title]
      Topic url: [reply-url]

      Excerpt:
      [reply-excerpt]”

      As you can see, there is no ‘Reply-To’ in bbpnns’s setting. Is the former notification being generated by the RBE plugin? If so, how do we edit it?

      Cheers.

      In addition to the above, after replying to the notification email, our reply doesn’t show on the topic or reply.

      Hi Jeremy,

      There are two plugins at play here: bbpnns and bbpnns-rbe.

      bbpnns sends out the notifications based on the templates that you provided. While preparing to send out the notifications, the RBE plugin does two things: a) Injects the reply-above string (which you can edit in the RBE settings); b) Injects reply-to headers in the email.

      As for email replies showing in the forums, you need to set RBE up to either run with WP Cron or with webhooks + a real cron job.

      Please read the From Email to Forums section of the documentation to have a better understanding of what needs to be done:

      Let me know if you need further help and I’ll gladly clarify any doubts.

      Cheers,
      Vinny

      Hi Vinny,

      Thanks for your reply. How do we edit the ‘reply-to’ added to the bbpnns notifications – in particular the reply-link. Is there a setting in the RBE plugin to do this or a code snippet I can use?

      Cheers.

      Go to Admin > Settings > bbPress Notify (No-Spam) – Reply by Email Settings > General Tab > Message Preferences (second box from the top, just below the connection box).

      Hi Vinny,

      All that box has is the option to edit the reply-above string. I am wanting to edit the ‘Reply-To’ link that is being sent in the notification which isn’t being added by the bbppns plugin.

      Oh, you mean the one in the topic title line?

      You’re getting that because you’re using [reply-title] instead of [topic-title]. “Reply To” in the title is set by bbPress.

      Note that there is a set of [reply-…] and [topic-…] tags. They print out different things.

      I explain each one in https://usestrict.net/bbpress-notify-no-spam-documentation/#topics-tab and https://usestrict.net/bbpress-notify-no-spam-documentation/#replies-tab.

      Cheers,
      Vinny

      Thanks for those links Vinny.

      That would mean that the link would be uneditable if ‘Reply To: New Topic for Link CHange’ is set by bbPress. That is a real shame as that was what we were needing to do. Those links look awful. :-/

      Your prompt and friendly support is much appreciated. Thank you.

      Alas, the title isn’t editable as it’s provided by bbPress. That said, if you use [topic-title] instead of [reply-title], it will not have the ‘Reply to:’ part.

      Hi Vinny,

      It looks like that is our only option. Thanks again for your assistance.

      Cheers.
