Discussion Setting: E-mail me whenever anyone posts a comment

  • I have the global Discussion Setting set to E-mail me whenever “Anyone posts a comment”.

    I also have a valid e-mail address entered in the General Settings.

    Unfortunately, I am not getting a message when people post commewnts to my blog.

    Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Do I have to configure SMTP settings somewhere based on my site’s host server settings?

    Sorry for the redundant post – just found the answer here:

    That previous solution reads:

    “I just read more closely and found out that emails are only generated for the person who wrote the post that is receiving the comment. This explains why the multi comment plugin I linked to above works. Apparently wordpress will only send an email to the person who wrote the post and not the general admin email which I thought was supposed to happen. Hope this is clear and helps someone else.”

    I can see my mistake was allowing the general admin to be the post author. I have since separated the two and created an “author” account. Unfortunately after submitting a few test comments on older posts, no mail is being delivered.

    I’m still thinking there’s still has to be some outgoing mail server setting that needs to be configured with info from my site host??
