    You say “As of version 1.12, you can use this plugin with bbPress Forum/Topic subscribers, instead of- or in addition to roles. Just turn on the Override option for Forums or Topics”
    ?If I have 200 members with roles of SUBSCRIBER and PARTICIPANT and
    190 are subscribed to all Forums and 10 are NOT subscribed to all forums.
    In bbpress nns, do I check SUBSCRIBER and PARTICIPANT to notify the 190?
    or do I check the OVERRIDE?
    or do I NOT check either
    and still get NOTIFICATIONS to the 190 but not the 10?

    (I upgraded the PHP version on our site to 7.0.25 from 5.6 and your plugin seems to have stopped working. I need PHP 7 for the speed.)

    Hi rjpivonka,

    Let me break down your question into pieces that are easier to understand.

    – 200 subscribers/participants
    – 190 subscribed to all forums

    Checking either subscriber or participant role (people only get ONE email, so don’t check both roles and save up on some processing time) will notify all 200. This is regardless of their subscription options.

    Checking Override will notify only the 190 that are subscribed to all forums (and topics?) and whoever else is subscribed to the forum/topic where the topic/reply (respectively) is being created. Note that topic and reply notification settings are separate, and topics settings apply to forum subscriptions, and reply settings apply to topic subscriptions (you subscribe to a forum to be notified of topics, and to a topic to be notified of replies to that topic).

    Checking neither effectively disables the plugin.

    To get notifications to the 190 but not the 10, don’t check any roles. Just Overrides.

    As for PHP versions, I run bbpnns on my site with PHP 7.1.x and it works fine. Please check the error logs to see if what is happening is indeed related to my plugin and open a new support thread with the error so I can look into it.

    Cheers!
    Vinny
