Hi guys,

I am fairly new to the bbpress world. The issue I am having is that a user subscribed to a forum receives an email notification when a new topic is posted, but NOT when somebody replies to a topic.

I setup a brand new site with only bbPress and buddypress and replicated the issue there. My versions are:

Wordpress: 5.0 (also an issue on v. 4.9.8 in the live site)
Buddypress: 4.1.0
bbPress: 2.5.14
Theme: Twenty Nineteen v. 1.0 (bundled)

I am unable to find any settings other than “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” in the Forum Settings which is ticked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis

One quick follow-up:

I just realized there is an checkbox option for a user to subscribe to replies to an individual topic. I tested this and also in this case no reply email notification was received, so just to summarize the issues:

1) user1 subscribed to a forum – user2 posts a new topic:
new topic notification is sent out to user1 (good)

2) user1 subscribed to a forum and user2 replies to a topic in that forum:
reply notification not sent out to user1 (maybe good if 3 worked)

3) user1 subscribed to a topic (checkbox) and reply posted by user2:
reply notification email not sent out to user1 (not good)

Thanks

Dennis

I have the same issue. It doesn’t send buddy Press notifications either.

Sorry for the double post. But I found this thread. It might be a temp solution.

Notification when reply in topic receives reply?
