Hello,

My Versions:
WP 5.7.2
bbPress 2.6.6
BuddyPress 8.0.0

HOME

This custom function stopped working fully when bbPress changed tables from usermeta to postmeta. Particularly, new users are no longer automatically subscribed to subforums. (We don’t use Groups yet, so I don’t know if that works or not.) Any help would be very greatly appreciated!

/** GROUP AND FORUM SUBSCRIPTIONS
* SUBSCRIBE NEW USERS TO GROUPS AND FORUMS
* This critical code subscribes new users to BuddyPress Groups and bbPress Forums,
* according to corresponding xProfile interest registration user choices!
* “Add to BuddyPress groups and forums (including sub-forums) based on xProfile checkbox selection”
* “add-to-buddypress-groups-based-on-xprofile-selection-upon-activation.php”
