this is not possible at the moment. Currently it is only possible to get notifications about all new topics.
But there is a hook called asgarosforum_after_add_post_submit. This hook can be used to execute custom logic after a topic got created. This could be used to automatically inform all users about new posts.

I would like to inform all users in my internal forum about new posts via email automatically. How do I do it? How is that with the hook exactly?
Thanks for a tip.

the hook has to be placed inside your themes functions.php file and can look like this:
function submit_info($postID, $topicID) { // Get all users of your site. // Example: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users // Send a mail for all users. // Example: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_mail/ } add_action('asgarosforum_after_add_post_submit', 'submit_info', 10, 2);As you can see there has to be implemented own logic because this behavior is not possible yet with the forum by default.

How do I set the notification for new topics?

So it’s not an option for regular forum users?

How does that get accessed if one is using a front end profile system?

Quote from Asgaros on December 6, 2017, 7:32 pmWordPress doesnt have front-end profiles by default, so this functionality is provided by third-party plugins. There are dozens of extensions which bringing features like this to WordPress which makes it impossible for me to add code to the plugin to support them. If I support one, other people will start to ask if I can support other plugins as well. You should contact the author of your front-end-profile plugin and ask him if his plugin provides hook so you can add custom code to make this subscription-option available inside that plugin as well.
