How do I customize the notification settings?

Elena Petrova Elena Petrova 1 week 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

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