How to restrict new topic notifications email to excerpt only

Hi there,

I’ve been looking for way to long to find a piece of code for my problem. Users of my forum can subscribe to a forum so they receive email notifications when a new topic is created. BUT. I’d like the email to contain just an excerpt of the new topic, since I want my users to view the topic on my website.

I have found this topic, which is almost what I need, but not exactly, and my coding experience isn’t good enough to edit the code provided myself.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks!

Your question pertains to bbPress, not BuddyPress.
The bbPress support forum is here.

Anyhow…
The filter hook you want is in bbpress\includes\common\functions.php

apply_filters( 'bbp_forum_subscription_mail_message', $message, $topic_id, $forum_id, $user_id );
```
function jorrit_filter_forum_topic_message_email( $message, $topic_id, $forum_id, $user_id ) {

    $message = wp_trim_words( $message, 15 ); // change 15 to however many words you want

    return $message;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_mail_message', 'jorrit_filter_forum_topic_message_email', 10, 4 );
```

Hey Shanebp, superduperthanks for the code. Do I just put the code in my themes functions.php? And just this part?
```
function jorrit_filter_forum_topic_message_email( $message, $topic_id, $forum_id, $user_id ) {

    $message = wp_trim_words( $message, 15 ); // change 15 to however many words you want

    return $message;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_mail_message', 'jorrit_filter_forum_topic_message_email', 10, 4 );
```

Ey Shanebp, since it is a live site we’re talking about, I’d like to make sure my interpretation of your reply is correct, can you confirm it?

Thanks!
