bbPress Notify (No-Spam) Digests

Description

Short version: Transform high-frequency forum notifications into structured daily, weekly, or monthly digests — giving users control, reducing fatigue, and increasing long-term engagement for bbPress and BuddyBoss communities.

Real communities don’t need dozens of emails per day — they need clarity.

The Digests add-on collects forum activity and delivers it in clean, structured summaries. Instead of flooding inboxes, you provide organized updates that encourage consistent return visits.

This is especially powerful for membership sites, course platforms, and professional communities where sustained engagement matters more than real-time alerts.

Can users still receive instant notifications?
Yes. Digests do not have to replace real-time notifications. users can receive both, depending on configuration and admin settings.

Can users choose their own frequency?
Yes. Each user can select their preferred digest interval when allowed by the admin.

Does this support BuddyBoss?
