This plugin is for bbPress 2.x
Many people who run forums would like to know when a new topic (thread) has been posted but do not have the time to constantly check their forum for activity. This solves that!
This plugin will send an e-mail notification to specific addresses when a new topic has been posted. The users who receive notification along with a simple e-mail template is configured in the bbPress settings.

WP Notification Bell


Most notification plugins only allow you to manually notify people. Or, they only email notifications. This is the only plugin I can find that does on-site comment notifications. Which is nice to have even if all you have is a simple blog. Your readers should know if someone has replied to their comment (without relying on email).



I'd love it if there was one more shortcode added. A shortcode to show a list of the user's notifications. In other words, I don't think I want to use the bell and pop-up. I'd rather have a page with a shortcode that shows the notifications.



Please create an add on for Frontend PM as well.


WordPress needs this

On-site bell notifications. Display notifications custom or triggered (new posts/cpts, WooCommerce order updates, new comment replies, bbPress...)
