How do I customize the notification settings?

Theo Lindqvist Theo Lindqvist 3 months ago Resolved

I'm getting email notifications for every reply in spaces I've joined. Is there a way to set a daily digest instead? I looked in profile settings but couldn't find it.

Running the latest version on WordPress 6.9 with the BuddyX theme.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

Trust levels are earned automatically through participation, so there is nothing to configure per user. If you want to grant an ability sooner, assign a space role instead — that takes effect immediately and is independent of trust level.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.
