gdpr conflict and forum email notification

[chinolz]

Hi wplms is currently auto subscribing user to forums when they take the course, this is NOT GDPR compliant. Imagine a case user buy subscription to site with 50 courses. He is auto subscribed to 50 forums automatically!! Whenver a user post a topic on the forum he is then spammed via email with notification. https://trello.com/c/iafxzcoK When will this be resolved?? You cant expect the user to go to each forum page and click unsubscribe (ps the user doesnt even know what the unsubscribe do if he didnt use bbpress before)

Please add this code in your wplms-customizer.php file of wplms-customizer plugin. It will work only for new users. To unsubscribe old users you can use this plugin. Refer : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-bulk-unsubscribe/ add_filter('bp_course_add_user_to_course_enable_forum_subscription',function($x){ return 0; });

Hello, @chinolz I tested this plugin on my test setup and found this to be a bug. Thanks for reporting this bug. This is due to all the ajax calls for all users runs at a time. I created a card on trello, please track this card from this  link.
