I created a BBpress site, but now I am being plagued by emails of forum activity.

As I am just an admin, is there a way to set BBPress to send emails of forum activities, registrations and such to another, separate email address and leave me in piece? 🙂

Thanks

bbpress only send out emails you ask it to !!

1. are you using additional bbpress related plugins?
2. are you subscribed to forums?
3. are you using buddypress?

1. No additional plugins, vanilla bbPress
2. if you mean in the front end, then no, I just created a form
3. no

This is just a simple forum for about 20-30 local guys to chat and joke around.

(I like the avatar BTW)

ok, you should only receive bbpress emails when you create a topic or respond to a reply, and tick the ‘Notify me of follow-up replies via email’ like the one below the reply box on this thread.

can you specify a couple of examples of what you are getting ?

For example:

Registration of new user on site XXXXX:

User name: Name

E-mail: blah@blah.com

registration is a function of WordPress, not bbpress.

you can switch it off using

Disable New User Notification Emails
