Subscribe users to private forum

    Hello Robin,

    Is there a way to subscribe certain users to a forum that has been made private via your Private Groups plugin? I have everything else set up, and I’ve also installed the “bbPress Custom Topic & Reply Notifications” plugin. I just can’t seem to figure out how to subscribe folks- either manually, or allow them subscribe themselves.

    I do have full width enabled for all forum pages. Is the fact that I don’t have sidebars part of my problem?

    I’ve tried adding a filter to automatically subscribe folks, but I wasn’t sure if I would be sending out notifications for everyone, even if it was a private group/forum. I wouldn’t want that…

    I’d appreciate any help you can give.

    Thanks so much!

    I THINK I may have figured out a way around this.

    1. I changed the WP default role to “Customer” when folks register on my website (but this could be anything other than Subscriber).

    2. In the “Users” section of WP, I manually changed the role of each student/user to “Subscriber”.

    3. I used BBPress Notify plugin, assigning email updates to go to “Subscribers”.

    So far so good!

    It takes more time to do it this way, but for private forums, it’s worth it to me.

    Thanks for creating such a fantastic plugin, Robin!

    Kindy,
    Sharon
