Turn On Group Subscriptions

In this tutorial we will walk you through how to enable and manage group subscriptions. With this update, members can subscribe not only to Forums and Discussions but also to Group posts. As always all members can receive notifications to devices (email, web, app) enabled by the member in their notification preferences. 

Configure Group Discussion

1. Navigate to BuddyBoss - Settings - Groups. Under this section, we added this new Subscriptions option to Allow members to subscribe to groups. 



When a member is subscribed to a group, they can receive notifications of new activity posts and discussions created in the group.


By default, a member is automatically subscribed to a group if they:

  • Joined a public group 

  • Accepted an invitation to join a group

  • Or accepted into a private group


And automatically unsubscribed if the member:

  • Left the group

  • Or Removed from the group


  1. Go to the Profile - Account - Notification Settings. 


Here, you can see new notification types under Social Groups for 

  • New post in a group you're subscribed to

  • And New discussion in a group you're subscribed to





Previously, members can manage their subscribed Forums and Discussions under their Profile page - Forums - Subscriptions. 

Users have a dedicated page to manage all subscriptions both in the Web and App by navigating to Account Settings - Notification Settings - Subscriptions.


This page is where members can manage their subscribed Groups, Forums, and Discussions all in one place. To unsubscribe to a subscription you can just simply click the “X” button next to the group name. 



Once you unsubscribe from a subscription you will be notified with a confirmation at the bottom of the screen and you will no longer receive new notifications from that group, you will still remain a member of the group, and if you would like to receive notifications from that group again you can always visit the group and click on the ‘’Bell’ icon. These are the same steps if you want to unsubscribe to a Forum or Discussion.
