<p>Per default, bbPress is sending subscription notification emails as one email with a bunch of BCCs. There are various reasons why it would make more sense to send individual emails. This plugin does that, quietly in the background via WP cron, without slowing down page load times. Also increases notification performance and reduces database load on large sites.</p>

<h4>Defaults</h4>
<p>If you don’t customize this plugin, this is what you’ll get:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sends mails from <code>"MyBlog <admin@MyBlog.foo>"</code> (with your Blog’s name and admin email)</li>
<li>Sends mail to <code>"Markus <markus@example.com>"</code> (with the name being the user’s display name on the forums, not their username)</li>
<li>Subject and Message have more user friendly defaults, use the available filters (see below) to make them your own.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Customization</h4>
<p>You can install and activate this plugin and it just works, but you have full control over the details if you want to. Below are some filters and code snippets that help you do what you want. If you’re new to working directly with code, please see the example at the bottom of this page.</p>
<h4>Available filters</h4>
<pre><code>bbp_subscription_email_from( $from ) // $from can be a string or array('name'=>string, 'address'=>string)
bbp_subscription_email_recipients( $recipients ) // $recipients is array of array('name'=>string, 'address'=>string)
bbp_subscription_email_headers( $headers )
bbp_forum_subscription_email_subject( $subject, $forum_id, $topic_id )
bbp_forum_subscription_email_message( $message, $forum_id, $topic_id )
bbp_topic_subscription_email_subject( $subject, $forum_id, $topic_id, $reply_id )
bbp_topic_subscription_email_message( $message, $forum_id, $topic_id, $reply_id )

bbp_bounce_address( $bounce_address )

bbp_subscription_disable_async( false )
bbp_forum_subscription_disable_async( false )
bbp_topic_subscription_disable_async( false )
bbp_forum_subscription_notify_author( false )
bbp_topic_subscription_notify_author( false )
</code></pre>
<h4>Helpful Snippets</h4>
<p>Here are some pointers to get the data you might want in your notifications:</p>
<pre><code>$blog_name = get_bloginfo( 'name' );

$forum_title = bbp_get_forum_title( $forum_id );

$topic_author_user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
$topic_author_display_name = bbp_get_topic_author_display_name( $topic_id );
$topic_title = wp_specialchars_decode( strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) ), ENT_QUOTES );
$topic_content = wp_specialchars_decode( strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_content( $topic_id ) ), ENT_QUOTES );
$topic_url = get_permalink( $topic_id );

$reply_author_user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
$reply_author_display_name = bbp_get_topic_author_display_name( $reply_id );
$reply_content = strip_tags( bbp_get_reply_content( $reply_id ) );
$reply_url = bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id ); // note that it's not get_permalink()
</code></pre>
<h4>Example</h4>
<p>To have a nice subject line for new topic notifications, add this to your theme’s <code>functions.php</code>. If your theme does not have this file, you can simply create it and it will be loaded automatically. Note how the example is basically just one of the filters above, mixed with some of the snippets and a return statement. It’s that simple.</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_email_subject', function( $subject, $forum_id, $topic_id ) {
    $blog_name = get_bloginfo( 'name' );
    $topic_author_display_name = bbp_get_topic_author_display_name( $topic_id );
    $topic_title = wp_specialchars_decode( strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) ), ENT_QUOTES );
    return "[$blog_name] $topic_author_display_name created a new topic: $topic_title";
}, 10, 3); // first is priority (10 is default and just fine), second is number of arguments your filter expects
</code></pre>


AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

By default, the bbPress forum reply notification emails were not being delivered to any forum subscribers. This plugin fixed that, immediately. Upon installing the plugin, the reply notification emails will just work.

Thank you, works like a charm

Email notifications done right. No BCC lists, no added page load time, better performance.

<p>This plugin adds a page in the admin area where you can see all the queued Cron events, when they are due, which schedule they are on (or if they are one off) and which hook they will call. Future development might include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Removing Cron events</li>
<li>Seeing which functions/methods are currently called by which hooks</li>
<li>Manually adding Cron events</li>
<li>Editing Cron events</li>
</ul>
<p>However, do not hold your breath! Development for this plugin will be as and when I need it, or when someone submits a handy patch. I’m definitely open to co-development on this one, so if you want to join in then <a href="http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/contact-me/" rel="nofollow ugc">contact me</a>.</p>

Cron View

Allows you to view all WP Cron events. Handy for development.
