Email notifications done right. No BCC lists, no added page load time, better performance.
As of April 2026, AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions is a WordPress cron plugin with 100 active installations and a 5/5 rating from 8 reviews. It has been downloaded 6.6K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.6+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2015. Last updated 5 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: WP Crontrol.
Per default, bbPress is sending subscription notification emails as one email with a bunch of BCCs. There are various reasons why it would make more sense to send individual emails. This plugin does that, quietly in the background via WP cron, without slowing down page load times. Also increases notification performance and reduces database load on large sites.
