Hello All,

I have a buddypress & bbpress integrated site. I am using buddypress groups inside which the bbpress forums exists. There are about 4 groups with 30 members in each group and I have used a “invert subscribe” code (in my functions file), which I came across on one of the threads here. It by default makes the members of the group to be subscribed to the forum and receive email alerts for every thread/topic created.

But now after I installed the Postman email plugin, I noticed that the email notification meant for the members of the group are being sent out to the members of all the group and all the 120+ users on the site. How can I avoid this and see to it that the emails are being sent out only to the particular group members.

Here is the invert subscribe code that I am using:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_subscribe_link', 'invert_get_user_subscribe_link', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_forum', 'invert_is_user_subscribed_to_forum', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_subscribers', 'invert_get_forum_subscribers' ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_subscribed', 'invert_is_user_subscribed', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription

function invert_is_user_subscribed($retval, $user_id, $object_id, $subscribed_ids) {
	if (get_post_type( $object_id ) == bbp_get_forum_post_type())
		return !$retval;
	else	
		return $retval;
}

function strContains($needle, $haystack) {
	if (strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false) {
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}

function invert_get_user_subscribe_link ($html, $r, $user_id, $topic_id) {
	if (strContains( "bbp_unsubscribe", $html )) {
		$html = str_replace("bbp_unsubscribe", "bbp_subscribe", $html);
	} else {
		$html = str_replace("bbp_subscribe", "bbp_unsubscribe", $html);
	}
	return $html;
}

function invert_get_forum_subscribers( $users ) {
	$args = array('fields' => 'id');
	$all_users = get_users($args);
	$send_to_users    = array_diff($all_users, $users);
	return $send_to_users;
}

function invert_is_user_subscribed_to_forum( $retval, $user_id, $forum_id, $subscribed_ids ) {
	return !$retval;
}

add_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_subscriptions', 'subscribed_by_default'); //default subscribe
add_action('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_subscription', 'subscribed_by_default'); //default subscribe

function subscribed_by_default() {
	echo '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery("#bbp_topic_subscription").prop("checked","checked");</script>';
}
?>

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a similar problem, though I’m not using any code in my functions file.

I got feedback from a few participants that they are receiving emails of new replies although they are not subscribed to any of the topics.
I already checked this and really couldn’t find any subscription to the specific user ID’s.

It doesn’t make sense to me at all why they’re getting these emails. Would be great, if somebody could help us with this issue!

@yavanna, I got my problem sorted by removing the above mentioned code and using the https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/ plugin.

if you could post more details, maybe I can help you out.
