FAQ

What is is this plugin for?

To send email to all members of you group.

How to send mail?

Just go to group admin->manage ->message members tab. Fill the the in subject and send the email and/or message.

What if I want additional people to access this functionality?

By default this “E-Mail Members” section is available to admins.
To change it a filter is available and you can change the access like this:

E.g. to allow this option to mods as well as admins:

add_filter('lh_beomgm_auhority',function(){
    return 'mod';       
});

What merge tags are available?

The tags are recipient.first_name, recipient.last_name, recipient.display_name, group.name, group.description, and group.url. Used in the same way as buddypress emails. More will be added in future releases.

What if something does not work?

LH Buddypress Email or Message Group Members, and all https://lhero.org plugins are made to WordPress standards. Therefore they should work with all well coded plugins and themes. However not all plugins and themes are well coded (and this includes many popular ones).

If something does not work properly, firstly deactivate ALL other plugins and switch to one of the themes that come with core, e.g. twentyfifteen, twentysixteen etc.

If the problem persists please leave a post in the support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-buddypress-email-or-message-group-members/. I look there regularly and resolve most queries.
