I decided that instead of troubleshooting an old version of wpForo and my staging site with the upgrade did not seem to have the same issue, that I would upgrade my live site to V2.

I am happy to say that with some testing and using an email log in sandbox mode, the unauthorized emails are not being sent in V2.

Thanks for your help, and I would say that if anyone else is experiencing the same issue, to upgrade to V2.

@robert I am still testing V2 and the 2022 theme on a staging site to make sure it works with my current site, and that I can adjust the css to look how I want, but it sounds like maybe upgrading sooner than later will need to happen.

My forum is members only with no outside registration, so I will have to send you a private invitation.

@realact That's an interesting note. I am using AAM Advanced Access Manager to adjust permissions of the user groups. I'm not sure though why a user would not have access to a forum, but still be receiving notifications for it.

I can't say for sure whether or not this has always been happening, or if it's just a recent development either. I have not changed any settings for years. I will look into this a bit deeper though.

@moptop,

Could you please switch to 2022 them in wpForo > Themes admin page?

Go to wpForo > Overview admin page, scroll down and click the button.

Also, please leave a URL to your forum where we can register and see the subscription options in our subscriptions tab.

@moptop I'm wondering if you have a roles plugin issue. I remember having something a little different a few years back, and it was related to a wrong configuration with a roles management plugin.

Do you have any special plugin to manage your WordPress roles? If so, can you disable it and see if the issue still happens?

Perhaps this is an issue that has arisen over the last update or two, but here are screenshots to confirm it happened.

Hi,

I can't speak for 100% sure for 1.9.x about this but in 2.0.6 what you mention doesn't exist. I tested it.

And i strongly believe it also doesn't exist in 1.9.x but i can't test.

Because in my forum, i have 12 private forums for a specific groups and i haven't seen or heard of a such an issue. If it existed, i would surely know about it after so many years with wpForo (5 years).
