Subscribe to Comments

Description

Subscribe to Comments is a robust plugin that enables commenters to sign up for e-mail notification of subsequent entries. The plugin includes a full-featured subscription manager that your commenters can use to unsubscribe to certain posts, block all notifications, or even change their notification e-mail address!

Installation

1. Put subscribe-to-comments.php into [wordpress_dir]/wp-content/plugins/
2. Go into the WordPress admin interface and activate the plugin
3. Optional: if your WordPress theme doesn’t have the comment_form hook, or if you would like to manually determine where in your comments form the subscribe checkbox appears, enter this where you would like it: <?php show_subscription_checkbox(); ?>
4. Optional: If you would like to enable users to subscribe to comments without having to first leave a comment, place this somewhere in your template, but make sure it is outside the comments form. A good place would be right after the ending </form> tag for the comments form: <?php show_manual_subscription_form(); ?>

How can I tell if it’s working?

1. Log out of WordPress
2. Leave a comment on an entry and check the comment subscription box, using an e-mail that is NOT the WP admin e-mail address or the e-mail address of the author of the post.
3. Leave a second comment using a different e-mail address than the one you used in step 2 (it can be a bogus address).
4. This should trigger a notification to the first address you used.

I’d like the subscription checkbox to be checked by default. Can I do that?

Not anymore. But the checkbox status will be remembered on a per-user basis.

My subscription checkbox shows up in a strange place. How do I fix it?

Try unchecking the CSS “clear” option. Beyond that, you’re on your own with CSS positioning.

Не совместим с 4.5.2

Функция get_currentuserinfo с версии 4.5 считается устаревшей! Используйте wp_get_current_user().

Simple and easy.

I’m a long term user of this plugin. It just works! I would welcome support for multilanguage sites, but this is a minor enhancement.
