 * First off, I must say I have enjoyed implementing your BBPNNS plugin with our
   bbpress message board! We use bbpress – Moderation Tools ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/)),
   which is an updated plugin for bbpress moderation. As it currently stands, if
   an Admin or Moderator posts a new Topic on the front-end, notifications are sent
   out via BBPNNS just fine. However, the issue we currently face is this: When 
   a standard user posts a new Topic, it is properly held for moderation. When a
   moderator clicks “Approve” on the front-end of the Message Board (a feature of
   BBPMT), no notification e-mails are sent out. I have to manually go through the
   admin panel and “Update” the approved new topics with “Send Notifications” checked
   in order for the BBPNNS notifications to go out. Is there a way to send notifications
   automatically upon approval of a new topic by a moderator? Thanks!

 * Hi [@semajcherlagne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/semajcherlagne/),
 * I have a premium add-on that acts as a bridge between bbpnns and bbpress-moderation.
   I don’t know if it’ll work with moderation-tools-for-bbpress, though. I’ll have
   a look at their code and let you know.
 * Cheers,
    Vinny

 * The problem is that the moderation plugin does not call the `bbp_new_post` and`
   bbp_new_reply` actions after approving.
 * It does call its own `bbp_approved_topic` and `bbp_approved_reply` actions, so
   you can hook into those. Try the code below in your `functions.php`. But note
   that I haven’t tested it other than for syntax errors.
 *     ```
       function my_trigger_bbpnns_new_topic( $topic_id )
       {
       	$bbpnns   = bbPress_Notify_NoSpam::bootstrap();
       	$do_bg    = get_option( 'bbpress_notify_newtopic_background' );
       	$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id( $topic_id );
   
       	if ( $do_bg )
       	{
       		$bbpnns->bg_notify_new_topic( $topic_id, $forum_id );
       	}
       	else 
       	{
       		$bbpnns->notify_new_topic( $topic_id, $forum_id );
       	}
   
       }
       add_action( 'bbp_approved_topic', 'my_trigger_bbpnns_new_topic', 10, 1 );
   
       function my_trigger_bbpnns_new_reply( $reply_id )
       {
       	$bbpnns   = bbPress_Notify_NoSpam::bootstrap();
       	$do_bg    = get_option( 'bbpress_notify_newreply_background' );
       	$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id );
       	$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id( $topic_id );
   
       	if ( $do_bg )
       	{
       		$bbpnns->bg_notify_new_reply( $reply_id, $topic_id, $forum_id );
       	}
       	else
       	{
       		$bbpnns->notify_new_reply( $reply_id, $topic_id, $forum_id );
       	}
   
       }
       add_action( 'bbp_approved_reply', 'my_trigger_bbpnns_new_reply', 10, 1 );
       ```
