    @Robkk
    Any filter that would exist for this one ?

    Hi nikhilnaik,
    To list the forums a user has subscribed to, I have used bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids as a function while looping the users.

    Hi bo-oz,
    I don’t know what could cause the issues (probably another plugin), but for your last line: we also use WPML and bbpress works fine.

    Hi Andy,
    For the ‘subscriptions menu’ item I cannot help you I’m afraid.

    For the emails I have had issues myself and did these:
    – Installed an email logging plugin so I could find out why some emails were not sent
    – Installed an SMTP plugin, correctly configured, to make sure ALL emails were sent
    – Created my own plugin to make sure I see that people are really subscribed to the forum (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/). Nothing sophisticated and just for my own needs, but if it can be of any help…

    For the ‘notifications’, don’t fall into the same trap like me: You don’t get notifications for topics you create yourself ! So use at least 2 accounts to test. Also the email logging showed how TO: and CC: fields were filled.

    Hope it points you in a correct direction,
    Pascal.

    Hi colinsp,
    By chance I arrived here on this older thread.
    I was having the same issue with some users and as I did not find any specific plugin, I wrote one myself last month. It’s based on what I needed for our forum, but if it can help, feel free to use it: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/

    Suggestions are always welcome of course.

    Pascal.

    Hi Demonboy,
    First of all thanks for your comments, I restart working on the plugin in 3 weeks so will see what I can add/change.
    Can I ask you for support questions on the specific plugins to use the dedicated support forums of the plugin for it ? Otherwise the moderators here will kill me 🙂

    Hi,
    It’s manual, so nothing automated, but I had more or less the same issue and created my own plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/

    You can hide/order users in different ways and (un)subscribe them with a click. If you would also use bbp-private-groups, it also shows the link with those groups.

    Again, nothing automatic (and still not in it’s final version, some warnings still to remove), but we have a rather stable userbase and when a new user comes in we assign the subscriptions needed.

    Pascal.

    Well, to me it’s a strength to have such an open plugin where anybody can build extra blocks to do whatever he wants to obtain… For whatever is not in the core, somebody has probably already written something for it.
    Just post on this forum is the issue is about bbpress. If your problem is with an email plugin, better post on the forum on that plugin to be sure to get the correct help.

    @TJR3217
    Did you get notifications before ? Do you get any standard emails like for new user creation ?
    If you don’t get any emails at all, then bbpress is probably not to blame.
    Personally I had lot of issues since wp 4.3, but all issues were in the plugins handling smtp emails.
    Pascal.
    PS. Did you get an email for this ?

    Hi Robkk,
    The colors have already changed in my current dev version (the colors were awful, I know) 🙂 But the reason is to easily see the difference between the roles, the forums and (in my dev version) the private groups of bbp-private-groups.
    New version coming soon…

    Hi aikichick2012,
    Do you get other notifications from wordpress (like the ones mentioned by Robkk) ? So are you getting other messages but not the ones from bbpress ?
    Pascal.

    Did you already install any mail logging tool to see the messages that are sent from your server ? I used ‘wp mail logging’, but there are different ones.

    Hi,
    How is your system configured to send out messages ? Do you have any extra plugins installed to e.g. send as SMTP ?

    I moved it to the right hand side completely using this CSS into my theme:

    /* bbpress move ‘(un)Subscribe’ to the right corner */
    #bbpress-forums .subscription-toggle {
    float: right;
    }

    Hi,
    Version 1.1.1 is publically available now on https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/
    It handles the first level of subforums already now !
    Next first step is to check the warnings (like the ones you indicated).

    Any further input is welcome,
    Pascal.

    Hi Robkk,
    If you have errors, you must have a weird configuration 🙂 Just joking.

    For the errors, you can send me what you got as errors. For the debug, I’ll have another look on a different wp installation I have and compare it.
    For me it works fine and does what it needs to do, but I only have 3 basic forums for now.

    On the settings page, you should be able to set the number of rows and if you want all users or just the ones from the visible roles (if you installed v1.1).
    Then you should get the list with all the roles on your system that you can flag as hidden.
    At the bottom you should get the list of all your forums (I did not add subforums, so will check that out !)

    On the main page, you should see a table with the name of the users, in blue the (non-hidden) roles and if users have that role (hasrole), then in yellow the last columns if users are subscribed or not. With a click on those buttons, you can change from subscribed to non-subscribed.

    Some screenshots : http://casier.eu/dev/bbp-manage-subscriptions/bbpms1.png and http://casier.eu/dev/bbp-manage-subscriptions/bbpms2.png

    Let me know how your system is different so I can replicate it here.

    Update: I just added first level of subforums, now need to make it recursive.

    Hi guys,

    I have spent some evenings using for the first time WP_list_table and understanding the bbpress functions, but this is the plugin I have for the moment : http://casier.eu/dev/bbp-manage-subscriptions/

    It will list your users and the forums they are subscribed to. You should be able to (un)subscribe users more easily (well, at least it works for me).

    ALL REMARKS WELCOME!

    I don’t think it’s ethically correct to switch to another user 🙂 I have spent some hours on a new admin screen that shows my users, the roles I’m interested in and the forums I have. So it shows per user his/her role and if he/she did a ‘subscribe’ on forum level.
    Next step is to be able as admin to force (un)subscriptions at forum level (I’m not interested in topics). Will share when more advanced.

    OK, so we are at the same level for now as I found that out in the DB this afternoon 🙂
    I’m busy writing a function to display forums and users. Starting from the users I’m able to get the forums they subscribed to (I’m not interested in topics). But I would like to start the other way around, so from the forums and then loop my users, but how to I list all forums (or forum_ids) that exist ???

    And the answer was … ?
