Digest/global notifications conflicts

[vinny]

Hi Julie,

I did get your email, but unfortunately it got buried under a whole mountain of them. Sorry about that. This is indeed the best place to post support questions, as it also helps other people who are having trouble.

What you found was a battle of the priorities, of sorts. WP works with hooks comprised of filters and actions. To decide who receives what, I use a filter to load/remove recipients.

The option ‘Do not notify me of global forum messages’ is in fact provided by the BbpNNS Opt-Out plugin, which had a priority of 10. The instant notification option was provided by the Digests plugin, which has a priority of 1000.

So the Opt Out removed the users and then the instant notification reloaded the ‘forcers’ back in.

Right now I’m upping the Opt Out priority to PHP_INT_MAX so that it’s the ultimate rule into who gets removed from the recipient queue. Note, however, that core subscribers will always be added back to the notification. After all, it’s Global notifications that we block.

I’ll release the fix to bbpNNS Opt-Out shortly.

Cheers,
Vinny

Julie,

Please check your WP Updates screen for Opt-Out version 1.4.1, which has that fix and also a performance improvement.

Do let me know if you find anything else!

Thanks! By “core subscribers” you mean people who have specifically subscribed to a certain topic or reply right?

Also, I don’t see the update…still at 1.4…

[vinny]

Yes, the people who specifically subscribed to that forum (for new topics) or topic (for new replies).

Click ‘Check Again’ a few times to force the check. WP only checks every 12 hours by default unless you click Check Again.

BTW, I deactivated the plugin that was causing the captcha issue. I’m surprised that you managed to post while logged in anyway. Thanks for bringing it up.

Huh. Just tried now and still no update.

I was actually logged out when I have been posting.

[vinny]

Please create an admin account for me using email vinny [at] usestrict [dot] net so I can try to figure out why you’re not getting the updates. Basically I’m going to click the Check Again and monitor my update api logs for any hits and take it from there. Don’t post the credentials here as I’ll receive the new account notification via email anyway.

Thanks,
Vinny

Vinny,
I’m logged in, but your last reply I still can’t see. Hmmm.

I removed the privacy flag from my previous reply. You should be able to read it now.
