cbnet Multi Author Comment Notification

Description

Easily enable email notification of new comments to users other than the post author.

Via Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion, enable email notification to users by site admin, user role (Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber ), or define arbitary email addresses to notify. Also, optionally disable email notification for comments left by registered users.

Email notification for individual users can be enabled via each user’s profile.

1. From your Admin UI (Dashboard), use the menu to select Plugins -> Add New

3. Click the ‘Install’ button to open the plugin’s repository listing
4. Click the ‘Install’ button

Activiation and Use

1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

FAQ

No emails are being sent. Why?

The Plugin merely filters the list of email recipients; it does not send email. Be sure that you have enabled (checked) the “Email me whenever” options for either “Anyone posts a comment” or “A comment is held for moderation”. If neither of these options is enabled, no emails will be sent.

Where did settings go?

Plugin settings can be found under Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion.

Comment email notification for individual users can be configured via the user profile.

Reviews

Easy to implement – excellent features

AgilityJeff March 29, 2017

This plugin works exactly as I would have hoped, was a breeze to set up, has the ability to choose what “level” of user gets notices, and the configuration form shows up under the “Discussion” menu item – right where it should. Thanks for the perfect addition to my WP site!
