Replacing it with good old cron fixed the problem.

The admin user has a checkbox at the bottom of a new topic to be notified of replies. The plebian users do not. When admin checks that box, admin gets e-mail notification of replies.

When the admin user @-mentions a user, that user gets sent e-mail, so the system is capable of sending e-mail from a forum post.

It is just the…[Read more]

WordPress is able to send e-mail; new account invitations go out, password changes, confirmation links, etc., all work, and I see the outgoing e-mail in <kbd>/var/log/maillog</kbd>.

I set up two test accounts, one inside and one outside our domain (based on this post), subscribed to a…[Read more]

The menu icons work fine in the sandbox, but in production, they show up as unstyled characters (0, L, etc.). Those characters are supposed to have the iconSweets font applied, but it isn’t loaded i…[Read more]

CBOX really does take over a multisite install, so running multiple CBOX instances in a single WordPress instance is not viable. We have talked with our stakeholders and found that they can coexist in the same commons, so we’re OK f…[Read more]

It looks like they’re working on it, but I may need to spin up multiple instances in the meanwhile.

See our test sandbox.

Our expectation was that we’d be able to support multiple, discrete commons setups from a single WordPress install. However, we’re seeing som…[Read more]
