Hello

I just removed this code I found out it was preventing posts from being published while using this plugin https://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddypress-user-blog/

When I removed the code the email is now being sent

I changed only this code

 function bp_follow_notify_author_followers( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {

	if ( $new_status === $old_status || 'publish' !== $new_status ) {
		return;
	}

	$post = get_post( $post );

	$options             = get_option( 'bp_follow_notify_settings' ); 

Back to this

 function bp_follow_notify_author_followers( $post ) {

	$options             = get_option( 'bp_follow_notify_settings' ); 

Also rather than use admin email, since this exposes site admin to security issues can you change it to the actual follower or recepient email.

Thanks

I did replace the complete function but I made 2 changes. Thank you so much for your patience this is the full code im using which is now working kindly review.

The two changes are

(1.) change of admin email to fixed email see below

 $follower_email = 'followers@website.com';

	@wp_mail( $follower_email, $subject, $message, $headers ); 

(2.) removal of code that prevented articles from being published

function bp_follow_notify_author_followers( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {

	if ( $new_status === $old_status || 'publish' !== $new_status ) {
		return;
	}

	$post = get_post( $post );

	$options             = get_option( 'bp_follow_notify_settings' );

THE FULL CODE NOW IS

 function bp_follow_notify_author_followers ( $post ) {

	$options             = get_option( 'bp_follow_notify_settings' );
	$selected_post_types = empty( $options['bp_follow_notify_post_types'] ) ? array() : $options['bp_follow_notify_post_types'];

	if ( ! in_array( $post->post_type, $selected_post_types ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$author_id   = $post->post_author;
	$author_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author_id );
	$counts      = bp_follow_total_follow_counts( array( 'user_id' => $author_id ) );

	if ( empty( $counts['followers'] ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$followers = bp_follow_get_followers( array( 'user_id' => $author_id ) );

	$blog_name = wp_specialchars_decode( get_option( 'blogname' ), ENT_QUOTES );

	$subject = '[' . $blog_name . '] New Post From ' . $author_name;

	$message = sprintf( __( '
				%2$s
				
				%3$s
				
				Link: %4$s
				-----------
				You are receiving this email because you are following %1$s.', 'bp-follow-notify' ),
		$author_name,
		$post->post_title,
		wp_trim_words( $post->post_content ),
		get_permalink( $post->ID )
	);

	$notifying_emails = array();
	foreach ( $followers as $follower ) {

		/* Email Notification */

		$user               = get_user_by( 'id', $follower );
		$notifying_emails[] = $user->user_email;

		/* BP Notification */
		if ( bp_is_active( 'notifications' ) ) {
			bp_notifications_add_notification( array(
				'user_id'           => $user->ID,
				'item_id'           => $post->ID,
				'secondary_item_id' => $author_id,
				'component_name'    => 'bp_follow_notify',
				'component_action'  => 'follow_new_post',
				'date_notified'     => bp_core_current_time(),
				'is_new'            => 1,
			) );
		}
	}

	$sender_name  = ( ! empty( $options['bp_follow_notify_sender_name'] ) ? $options['bp_follow_notify_sender_name'] : $blog_name );
	$sender_email = ( ! empty( $options['bp_follow_notify_sender_email'] ) ? $options['bp_follow_notify_sender_email'] : 'no-reply@' . $blog_name );

	$headers = '';

	$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=" . get_bloginfo( 'charset' ) . "" . "\r\n";
	$headers .= "From: " . $sender_name . " <" . $sender_email . ">" . "\r\n";

	$bcc_emails = join( ',', $notifying_emails );

	$headers .= "Bcc: " . $bcc_emails . "\r\n";

	$follower_email = 'followers@website.com';

	@wp_mail( $follower_email, $subject, $message, $headers );
