Hello,

I am evaluating whether to use bbpress for a website and am unfamiliar with it. Can anyone tell me whether it’s possible to set it up so that users can subscribe to receive forum posts via e-mail and whether they can respond to the posts via e-mail?

Thank you!

Alessandra

Hi Alessandra,
I confirm that bbPress has all it need for subscription to forums (in case new topics are created) and to topics (to get notified in case of replies).

and whether they can respond to the posts via e-mail?

bbPress cannot do this by default, you may need a plugin for this. I think their is one in the WordPress repository called bbPress bbPress post by email. It needs to be hooked up with an SMTP service though.
