Massive messages

[daammon]

Hi, I have a problem when trying to send a message to a large number of students. Up to 200 students it seems to work but after that number the "sending messages" button never ends and it keeps charging forever. What can I do? I need to send these massive mails to 500 students. Thank you! Daniel

Hi, This seems to be memory limit issue. Please try increasing your php memory limit. Also can you please share the php error log with us to check the error on your website.

Hi, I have extended the memory limit but still not working correctly. Perhaps is it taking a lot to send the messages? Another questions which is driving me crazy. I am sending messages to all the students in my course and when they reply their message is sent to all the students! So I have 500 students in one course and when one of them replies to my message the system sends 500 mails to all the students! How can I stop that? What can I do if I want to send them only messages not mails? Thank you, Daniel

Hi, Can you please share the php error log to check the error. Also you can send the bulk message instead of emails, refer: http://prntscr.com/hfpytr

Hi, The problem with the number of mails seems to be solved. The hosting provider changed some memory settings and now it is working. Regarding the bulk messages, that's the problem!! I am using the bulk messages but those messages become mails! And other users respond to those messages which starts a chat of mails that is collapsing everyone's mailbox. I would like to control that. Is there a way to send bulk messages without allowing the users to respond to all the users? That is quite crazy. I send a message to 500 students and they start sending messages to everyone. Thank you, Daniel

Hi, The email is sent by buddypress if any message is sent to the user. To stop the emails from being sent, you can add the below code in your wplms-customizer.php file present in your wplms customizer plugin.

Code: add_action('init',function(){   remove_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'messages_notification_new_message', 10 ); });

Hi Latiyan, So I undertand that, from the teacher side, there is no way to send mails to the students of an specific course without allowing them to start a global chat between them. Is that right? Thanks, Daniel

Hi, If you dont want to allow students to start a global chat, then you can send them Personal Message. Thanks

Hi Mark, What do you mean with Personal Message? Can I send those personal messages to all the students in one course at the same time? Thanks, Daniel

Hi, No you can not send messages to all students of a particular course at the same time. You have to send messages to them one by one. To send Private Message please go to wplms -> profile -> messages -> compose. Refer : http://prntscr.com/hp1wls http://prntscr.com/hp1ynu
