Hi @guruprasadmulay,

It sounds like you could use a bridge plugin between bbPress Notify (No-Spam) and Role Scoper. I just looked it up and saw that it has been deprecated in favor of PublishPress Permissions. I’ll look into getting a bridge set up for it.

Cheers,

Hi @isc-admin,

bbPress Notify (No-Spam) https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ does support topic-author tags, along with a bunch of others.

Cheers,

Hi @madflute,

I see you posted your comment 1 year and 4 months ago, but I’m only seeing it now – you should have posted your question on the WP.org forums, which I monitor closely.

There are several things wrong with your comment below.

It seems bbPressNotify is the culprit. I once installed this plugin and modified the message with it. But then when I found out it allows forum to notify only one of the three forums unless I pay for the add-on subscription, I deleted the plugin. Apparently it is still in effect.

bbpnns will not work if it is inactive. When it is deleted, it removes all of the data. If you select one or more role to receive notifications, it will send said notifications from whatever forum to everyone in all of the selected roles. It does not limit notifications to one of the 3 forums. The Private groups add-on makes bbpnns *restrict* sending notifications to recipients who don’t have access to the forum where the message was posted.

I need is:
We have 3 forums
1) Editor forum (hidden from all) – editors subscribed
2) Contributor forum (hidden from public) – contributors and editors subscribed
3) Subscribers forum (public) – all registered users subscribed
Notification from each forum new post/reply

Did I really need bbP Private Groups plugin, and did I really need notification plugin for sending out notifications, or bbP could have done this without plugins?

No, you didn’t need any of that is you’re using subscriptions to control who gets notified. Not sure how you’re hiding (from all, from public) your forums. If you’re doing that via Private Groups plugin, then yes, you needed it. You also don’t need bbpnns unless you want to customize the notification being sent out. If you do use bbpnns, then you can simply set the override subscriptions options in the Topics and Replies tab. You can also use the Dry Run tool (under the support tab) to see how/if it’s working as you expect.

Cheers,
Vinny

Hi @robin-w,

bbPress Notify (No Spam) will let you select users by roles and also let you take over core subscriptions. Selecting roles will force notifications to everyone, while overriding core subscriptions will send notifications to opted-in users.

The plugin was originally built to notify admins, and then users asked for the ability to add more roles. Not wanting to spam people (heck, it’s a No Spam plugin, right?), I wrote the premium Opt Out add-on so recipients could choose between blocking emails entirely or allowing only notifications for forums/topics to which they subscribed.

This was before I added the override core subscriptions option.

Cheers,
Vinny

I’m also using PHP 7.1. I fixed it by changing line 1800 to cast the value as an array.

if ( empty( $post_stati ) ) {
            $post_stati = (array) bbp_get_public_status_id();
