Everyone shouldn’t get notified for topic/reply

Hi @shashwatsrivastava48,

Whatever role you select will make all users of that role receive notifications.

You state that you want 3 people/groups to receive notifications:

1. Admins
2. The author
3. People who reply to the thread.

My plugin can handle 1 and 2. Simply check the Administrator role box in the recipients settings, and also check the ‘Authors receive notifications’ checkbox.

For item 3, I recommend https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/bbp-toolkit/. They have the option of auto-subscribing people who respond.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Vinny

Hi Vinny,

Thanks for the reply.

I have done the same that you have mentioned, I have checked the ‘Notify authors of their own Topics’ checkbox but still its not working, its not sending the notification mail to the user who has created the topic/reply.

Regarding the plugin that you have suggested (bbp-toolkit), we are already using a similar plugin (bbp style pack) and its working fine.

So basically, point 1 and 3 (Admin and reply notification) is working fine, only thing is that the Author who has created the topic is not getting notified of his own topic creation.

I’m using the below list of plugins (in case any of these plugins might be affecting the mail notification functionality for Author) –

bbP private groups Version 3.5.8
bbp style pack Version 3.6.0
bbPress Version 2.5.13
bbPress Notify (No-Spam) Version 1.15.9.1
BuddyPress Version 2.8.2
BuddyPress Activity Plus Version 1.6.4
BuddyPress Activity Social Share Version 1.0.2
BuddyPress Activity Stream Hashtags Version 0.5.1
BuddyPress Json API Version 1.0.56
Configure SMTP Version 3.1
GD bbPress Attachments Version 2.4
JSON API Version 1.1.1
JSON API User Version 2.5
Sassy Social Share Version 3.1.5
WP ULike Version 2.7

Thanks.

Do you mean that you want the topic author to receive notifications of all replies to the thread s/he created? If so, you’ll need to add some custom code. There are 2 options: to subscribe the author to his own thread and use Overrides, or to hook into the reply notification filter and pull up the topic ID and the author. I think the first option has better performance as it’ll be run once per thread.

Can I close this as resolved?

Hi Vinny,

I’m still stuck in the same situation.
I have checked the ‘Administrator’ and ‘Moderator’ roles to receive the mail notification but not the ‘Participant’ role as it would send the mail to every user. But still “Notify authors of their own Topics – Authors must receive a notification when they create a topic” feature is not working for me.
Whenever the author is creating any topic, he’s not getting any notification mail despite of checking the check-box.

Hi @shashwatsrivastava48, sorry for the delay. Your best option is to install a plugin that will automatically subscribe to the thread the author and anyone who replies to it.

I remember seeing a plugin that does that in the past, but can’t find it right now. I’ll keep looking and will update this thread if I find it.

In the bbpnns settings, choose to Override Core Subscriptions, and also check the Administrator role. That should do what you need.

Cheers,
Vinny
