    Hello –

    I am trying to use the data in my email field in an external mail merge system. But that field in BP contains all sorts of HTML (I guess as the field type suggests). I didn’t realize this would be the case.

    So, now I need to convert it to be the email alone and change the field type to text.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi Tony,
    Thank you for the question.

    The current BuddyPress implementation sends html emails.
    You can force it to send the plain text message by adding

    

add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );

    Regards
