Ok so I see in the back of wordpress bbpress settings I can deselect subscription to post and tags but this deletes it for all users.
How can I allow subscription and notification emails is only allowed for Moderators
use a certain plugin that sends notifications to certain user roles, like moderators
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/
That looks plugin looks like it could work but I wanted it so a moderator or other role had the chosse to subscribe to a post.
If the user was a moderator the subscribe button would appear, if they weren’t it wouldn’t
i guess you could wrap the subscribe link with a php if function using (if user can moderate)
then output nothing if the user cant moderate , this would also show the subscribe links to keymasters too
the subscribe checkbox , im not sure but it might be the same thing too.
ill check back when i find out the function.
