bbPress Digest

Description

Plugin homepage | Plugin author | Donate

This plugin enables sending of a digests with a list of topics active on a bbPress-powered forum in the last 24 hours or 7 days.

Users are able to choose on their profile edit pages (both built-in and from bbPress) whether or not they want to receive digest, at what time of the day, at which day of the week (if they receive weekly digest), and should digest include topics from all forums or only selected ones.

It requires that cron runs regularly at least once an hour.

bbPress Digest is a very lightweight, it loads necessary files with functions only when needed.

If you are translator, you can translate it to your language and send translations to plugin’s author.

I wish people that do no support their plugins or wordpress would put them down properly. Seems like seaching through the whole plugin db with half of the plugins no working its a disservice to WP in general.

Despite not being updated, there is absolutely no conflict issue with WP 4.8 and bbPress 2.5 This plugin delivers very handy digest emails to your users! I’d given it 5 stars, if there were an option allowing the admin to initially force bbPress participant to receive digest (of course allowing them to unsubscribe from it). Thanks Milan Dinic!

This is the only bbpress digest that delivers a truly functional and flexible solution. Users can choose the what time to receive the digest message. Admins can select options to allow for daily or weekly digests and also all forums or user selected forums content. The message body is easily modified to include all kinds of info related to topics and replies (see support forum). Nice job!

This plugin is exactly what the doctor ordered. Why is this feature not part of the core bbpress code? I’m sure there is a reason but this feature is essential, so props to Milan for developing it. There are a few things I would like which would normally warrant four stars instead of five, but I think that because this is the only plugin like it, and because my required changes are easy enough for me to modify in the plugin files, and because Milan has done a decent job, I’m happy to keep my rating high.
