Wordpress 6.1.1; BBpress Version 2.6.9

Hello,

My website is dedicated to a private community. It uses BBpress to give access to several forums organised hierarchically. The members need to be informed of every message that is posted but they do not want to subscribe to every forum of the the site by hand.

Is there a way to automatically set subscription parameters of every forum to on when a new account is created ? Each member could then unset the subscription parameter to off il he doesn’t want it anymore.

The default setting for subscribe to forum, would actually be “on”.

Thanks for your answer

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Management

and activate

From that screen you can set up new users to be subscribed

and from

dashboard>forums>all forums>and for each forum click subscriptions and you can subscribe all then current users to that forum in a couple of clicks. Repeat for all current forums

Thanks alot Robin!

I added your plugin to my site. I activated it and set the forums to be subscribed for the new users.
I tried to click subscriptions for the current users in dashboard>forums>all forums> for each forum but could not find the action “subscriptions”, I only see “modify” and “put to trash” as options.

Can you tell me more ?

[Robin W]

do you have subscriptions enabled in

dashboard>settings>forums ?

[emmanuelle64]

Yes, they are enabled.

I found the way to enable the subscription to a chosen forum for all users by going to forums>all forums, and then select ‘les abonnements’ (the subscriptions) in the chosen forum then using ‘subscribe selected users’ and apply for each page listing the users (by the way, there are 29 pages in my site, it would be nice to be able to select them all at once…).
It is great! I am glad I could do it.

I tried to do the same by choosing several forums for one user. But it didn’t work. The subscription is not applied.
It also doesn’t work with a subject for one user.
And as far as I have seen, the setting I chose by default for the new users is not effectiv. The users do not have any subscription preselected.

Can you help me with this ?
Thanks

I tried to do the same by choosing several forums for one user. But it didn’t work. The subscription is not applied.

can you describe exactly what you did, starting with

dashboard>

[emmanuelle64]

There it is:

for the user:
dashboard>users>all users, and then select ‘les abonnements’ (the subscriptions) for the chosen user then select option ‘subscribe selected forums’ and apply

and for the subject:
dashboard>subjects>all subjects, and then select ‘les abonnements’ (the subscriptions) for the chosen subject then select option ‘subscribe selected users’ and apply

and for the setting by default I followed your instructions. I selected the folder “gestion de l’abonnement’ (subscription management), then I selected ‘activate’ and chose the forums to be subscribed by default. Then I ‘registered’ the modifications

Sadly none of the 3 actions worked. It only worked with the setting of forum subscription for several users

[Robin W]

ok, so if you go to

dashboard>subjects>all subjects, and then select ‘les abonnements’ (the subscriptions) for the chosen subject then select option ‘subscribe selected users’ and apply

are they then showing as ‘sucbribed’ and this in not working, or does the subssribed/unsubscribed not change ?

[emmanuelle64]

The subscribed/unsubscribed doesn’t change

[Robin W]

ok, I cannot replicate that issue.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[emmanuelle64]

I activated health check plugin and selected twentytwenty as theme
I activated bbpress
Then I went to Dashboard>subjets>all subjects and selected ‘les abonnements’ in the first subject.
Then I selected the first user to ‘subscribe selected users’ and apply : it worked ok, the subscription button turned on.

Then I went to Dashboard>users>all users and selected ‘les abonnements’ in the first user.
Then I selected the first forum to ‘subscribe selected forums’ and apply : it didn’t work.

Any other clue ?
And thank you for your time!

[emmanuelle64]

I am not sure it is related, but now, nobody receives email notification anymore. The subscription simply doen’t work.

And also, the admin account does not receive the message for newly created accounts any more.

Could there be a connection with the extensions I added ?
