I experienced this exact same problem on a site I recently upgraded from an older version of buddypress/bbpress. Private group replies were available in users’ activity stream to non-logged in users even. I turned off all plugins with no affect.

Dwenaus updated the Migrating from old forums to bbPress 2.2+ page, on the BuddyPress Codex

Wed, 09 Oct 2013 03:28:28 +0000

So you’ve been using BuddyPress’ built-in group forums since BuddyPress 1.5, but would like to use the new bbPress plugin to power your forums instead.

Gotcha. You’ll need to migrate your existing group forum […]

this plugin does what you’re looking for. You should subscribe people to the level ‘new topics’ which sends out the first post, but not the subsequent replies. In the first email it tells people if you want follow up emails, you need to go and follow that post. best of luck.

good that you figured it out. wp filters are tricky at first, but once you get the hang of them, they are quite powerful. i’m still learning!

probably use another filter name for non-digest emails. offhand, something like ass_email_subject is a good name.

i think you need this instead:
groups_is_user_mod( $bp->loggedin_user->id , $bp->groups->current_group->id )
but soon that function will be replaced with a better one that logs group admin emails. this one is legacy code from the orig plugin developer that never got properly integrated.

@Mutuuj I think you do have a good point about the techno rich. I’m guessing from the name of your site that you are from a developing country, and the cost of a $50 plugin there is equivalent to a $300 plugin for us. I just wanted to add that in, but the topic was closed.

@djpaul and @boonebgorges, I hear you about the caching. that is one big bonus. I can make big ugly queries and know that they’ll be cached.
