Hi,
we have 4 main forum topics and under those, people start new posts quite regularly.
I am subscribed to all 4 groups https://www.apis.de/forum/board/general-allgemeines/
but recently, when users have started topics within them, i do not receive an email of the activity.
please help. this is a recent problem, as before, i did always get email notifications.

Hi,
do i add this file to the bbpress plugin directory?
i have lots of directories in my server and not exactly sure where to place the “topic subscribe.php.
thanks

download the plugin .zip to your pc

then go to

dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and follow the instructions to upload and activate

oh,
so this is a plugin in itself?

I have noticed a potential legal issue. If the forum users all start receiving notifications and they want to unsubscribe, they can’t do this through the email notification that they receive.
I believe legally, they must have the option to unsubscribe within the email.
can this be done with bbpress?

users can unsubscribe from a forum, which unsubscribes them from new topic in that forum.

You will need to check that this is what you want – I simply build plugins, I don’t do law !

Ok thanks.

Yes, there is even a plan to introduce it sometime into core.
