This may do the trick. Thanks. Fingers crossed…
To answer your first question, my site notifies me via email whenever someone signs up for the forum.
Thanks, Robin
My site was designed such that approved users must sign in to have see the user-only main menu which has the “Forum” link, but Google search thinks otherwise. I’ve been working with Yoast to resolve this, with obviously limited results.
So how do I make the Forum private? Will this allow only approved users to access it?
Despite “little information”, you’re suggestion solved the issue. Thanks.
Thanks. I’ll fiddle with it a bit more, then return to the “standard” bbPress config. Subscribers may/maynot be notified. Serves them right for not regularly checking the Forum. I’m not messing with DNS settings.
Yes, I have deleted AsynCRONous, but am now experimenting with WP Mail SMTP by WP Forms as you suggested. I thought it overrode the bcc std. process, and sent emails directly to subscribers’s emails from noreply? Am I incorrect? Thanks for your patience!
This plugin seems like it may help. I can now see emails being sent; more work to be done. One gotcha. I set up an email account “noreply@mydomain” as the sending email address. However I find email notifications are sent both from and to the noreply account. Have not tracked that down yet.
Set up a free account using Sendinblue. Lots of options; I’ll need to play with it. A bit above my pay grade, frankly.

Update: One subscriber had some (but not all!) email notification emails in his spam folder in Gmail. I’ve also had some, not all, notifications in my inbox. Other subscribers have no emails.
There seems to be an inconsistency here. I’ll check further with care. Can the bcc emails be an issue?
Good catch. Test email was received at my Gmail account, but did not get through at my Firefox account. Gmail warned that the email may be spoofed, but Firefox must have caught the email. I have just also sent to other subscribers not tied to my hosting plan. No feedback yet.
The email log shows all the test emails that were sent today. Nothing showed up yesterday. Curious.
Except for test messages today, nothing shows as sent to subscribers.
Thanks.
emails from “C%L Emails” are being received by me, but email notifications to a topic reply are still not being received by subscribers to that topic. Nor is there anything in “Email Logs”. So it appears that notification emails are not going out to subscribers.
I have also installed the Asyncronous plugin (w/o modification) with no change. I have also created an email account “noreply@mydomain” in my host account.
This is confusing, since I know others have had no issue!
Robin, thanks for the prompt response. I resolved the issue shortly after posting. bbPress is “network-installed”, so the user registration checkbox is located in Network-admin>Settings. I had checked this earlier, but overlooked the setting for some reason.
I sure wish I could find a complete, easy to read instruction manual to avoid rookie errors like this.
