@robkk: I might just do that and add it to members’ WordPress profile. Thanks for the advice on this.
Hi @Robkk,
OK, found it. My profile was at:
http://yoursite.com/forums/users/andyrushtonprogramming/subscriptions/
It turns out the “users” segment of the URL is customisable, so obviously in your install it’s set to something different.
It seems strange that this is tucked away and not easy to find. But now I know it’s there I can inform the website users of it.
@Robkk oops sorry for being slow on the uptake on what you were saying. OK, I get it now. Except I can’t get it working on our installation. We’re using bbPress stand-alone, not part of BuddyPress, so maybe the link you gave only works when using the combination of the two? The ‘profile’ element in the URL suggests that this is a BuddyPress feature to me since bbPress doesn’t have profiles.
Anyway, it’s not really what I was trying to fix. I’m using the “bbPress Notify (NoSpam)” plugin to solve the actual problem. But thanks for the tip, it is useful in these forums.
Hi casiepa,
thank you for the helpful tips.
I have installed a plugin called bbPress Notify (No-Spam) which does the notification functionality I was looking for. It seems to be working!
I’ll look up your plugin for the subscriptions listing functionality (although the notifications is actually the bigger issue despite how it appears from my OP).
I already have an SMTP plugin – Easy WP SMTP – so I’ll have a look at whether that does debug messages. Otherwise that’s another helpful tip.
Thanks again, I’m getting there…
Hi @robkk,
that seems to answer a different question – it only lists forums I’m subscribed to in bbPress.org, not subscriptions on my website – and I can’t see how it could list those since there’s no connection. I’m talking about a self-hosting website using bbPress as a plugin.
One reason I was asking was because of this post in the codex:
Subscriptions
Is this post wrong?
Follow up:
I tried a completely clean install with WP v4.3 and bbPress v2.5.8-5815 and I’m still not seeing the Subscriptions menu item. I’m not sure about notifications because my localhost setup tends to lose emails anyway, but I’m certainly not getting them from the installed website.
