BuddyBoss WordPress Password Reset Email Fix

Need a WordPress/BuddyBoss expert to fix password reset emails not delivering on staging10.sufifamily.net. staging6 (same server) sends emails without SMTP plugins, proving the server works. staging10 fails despite identical code.

Budget: $60-90 (fixed price)
Timeline: 24-48 hours
Experience: BuddyBoss authentication, WordPress wp_mail(), PHP debugging

The Problem
text
✅ staging6.sufifamily.net:
- Password reset emails work WITHOUT SMTP plugins
- Uses default PHP mail() function

❌ staging10.sufifamily.net:
- WP Mail SMTP test emails work
- Password reset emails NOT DELIVERED
- Shows "sent" in logs but never arrives
- Same code, same server as staging6
Key Insight
The server CAN send emails (staging6 proves this). The issue is a BuddyBoss configuration or hook conflict preventing password reset emails from delivering on staging10 only.
