Great and usefull plugin for BBPress
June 9, 2020
I have used this plugin for a while and recently my website has been attacked several days a week because some bug and leaks of this plugin (I found it through auditing all the mysql logs)
After disabling this plugin all the things go well.
So be very careful for using it, as this plugin is not updated for years.

If you manage forums, you probably want this

It is a very usefull plugin, but it has no support!
It has also a bug and it doesn't subscribe new registered users

I really appreciate the ability to manage subscriptions and customize bbPress message text.
I ticked "Remove bbpress css style from all pages except forum pages." under Extras, and most of my site pages returned 404s. The home page, which is built with Page Builder, still loaded fine. Unticking the box and uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin seems to be working.

We have lots of users on our forums and needed a way to manage the subscriptions. I was surprised that BBPress had no built-in way to do this easily, but this plugin saved the day!
