I used to receive summary emails and be able to send myself a test and see a visible preview of what the summary email would look like.

Now, when I visit Admin \> Emails \> Preview Summary, I no longer see a preview. (see screenshot below)

When I send myself a “test” email, it’s never sent/received.

Any ideas what happened? I recently installed the “[discourse formatting toolbar](https://github.com/iunctis/discourse-formatting-toolbar)” plugin. Could that have had any effect on my summary emails no longer working?

A good first step would be to try [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and then remove the plugin.

I tried safe-mode and disabled all customizations and plugins. Unfortunately the problem persists.

It may have something to do with another issue I noted here:

> [@\[object Object\] Error appearing in admin dropdown selectors](https://meta.discourse.org/t/object-object-error-appearing-in-admin-dropdown-selectors/141983):

> I just added another support issue which may be related to what I’m illustrating in this video: For some reason when I click on the drop-down menus, in several fields of the admin interface, I’m greeted with this “[object Object]” option, which appears to be an error. Here’s a little screencast to show what I’m experiencing… [[Discourse Forum object Object Error] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ke9GpODX7A)

Another user said they were noticing this error in the latest version.

I just updated our instance today.

One point to note, however, is that this issue I illustrated in this particular topic (with the summary/digest emails not working) was happening before I updated our instance. That’s why I went to see if there were new updates, because I thought maybe I needed to update in order to have my summary digest emails properly working again.

Can we repro this as well @j.jaffeux?

Fixed. Thanks for report.
