I want to change the default so that all new users are subscribed to all forums by default. I have seen some replies to this question which say it can be set on group admin pages, but I can’t see any way on the BBPress settings to create groups, and I cant find any plugins to add the functionality. What am I doing wrong?

I’m running WordPress 4.9.4 with Twenty Seventeen Child Theme, and bbPress 2.5.14

install Pascal’s bbp toolkit

bbP Toolkit

once activated go to

dashboard>tools>bbp toolkit>subscriptions and you can select to automatically subscribe new users to forums

Thanks Robin, that didn’t work but at least I can set the option manually for each new user. I’ll try deactivating other plugins to see if there’s a conflict. There’s a message on the plugin to say it hasn’t been tested with the current version of WordPress so maybe there’s an issue there. I’ll check the support forum for the toolkit.
