I have inherited a bbPress installation that has an issue, which I am not sure is to do with how bbPress works out of the box, is a configuration setting, or is as a result of customisation.

When an email is sent notifying of a reply to a topic, the reply link in the email takes the user through to a page that only shows the reply with no link through to the topic that has been replied to.

The URL is of the form: https://mywebsite.com/forums/reply/46572/

and the template looks like this:

Is it possible to either:

1. Include a link in the template to go back to the topic, or,
2. Have the link that is sent out in the email go to the topic, but with an ID ref to the reply, in this example:
   https://mywebsite.com/forums/discussion/my-topic-slug/#post-46572

Are either of those possible, and if so how might I go about configuring bbPress appropriately?

TIA!

bbPress Notify (No Spam) plugin supports that out of the box.

Thanks Chuckie, as it happens that plugin is already installed on the site and I’ve found where this is set up and made the appropriate change.

I appreciate your help, cheers!
