Comments notification not emailed anymore.

  • As suggested, a new thread:
    I’ve been using wordpress for…well quite sometime now. I’m currently using wordpress 1.2.1
    My problem, which just sprung out of nowhere is that when someone posts a comment I no longer get notification emailed to me.
    I’ve tried changing email addresses thinking that perhaps it was my mail server, so I’ve tried my other pop3 accounts and various webmail (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) but to no avail.
    Curious to know if anyone has or has had this problem and if they know how to correct it.
    Thanks,
    Jessica.

  • Are you still interested in a working solution?
    I had several problems with mailing. It didn’t work and the header was wrong, e.g. the FROM email-adress was wrong.
    I changed the wp-mail function to the following:

    function wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = '', $more = '') {
    if( $headers == '' ) {
    $from = "From: \"". get_settings('blogname') ."\" <". get_settings('admin_email') .">";
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" . $from . "\n"."Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"" . get_settings('blog_charset') . "\"\n";
    }
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    }

    And now it works fine……

    This affects more than comments. In a brand new installation of 1.5, I received the first e-mail with my administrative password, but then trying to register as a new user I did not get the confirmation messages with the password for the new accounts. Deleting “$more” fixed that as well.

    And my “from” address was incorrect too, I’ll have to try the suggestion above. It seems the administrative e-mail address on the “options” page is simply ignored.

    I have removed the $more in the functions.php but still ocntinue to have the problem. other problems i face maybe linked? messed up archive pages – the archive pages dont show up in WP but instead it shows teh dircetory of HTML files on the server. Gravatar signin plugin not showing up though inserted automatically – I use WP 1.5

    It does not mean all are linked but maybe there is some other glitch-Puzzled

    This just started happening to me, too.

    1) I receive comment moderation notices via email.
    2) I do not receive approved comment email notices.
    3) I also receive no notice for moderation on trackback spam.

    I have tried switching email accounts and the problem persists. I am also running three separate iterations of WordPress, but they all use the same MySQL database (with different prefixes on the tables). Therefore, I don’t think it’s an issue with any of the WordPress PHP files as speculated earlier in this thread? Could it be a problem on the server/host side?

    Most of comments above were associated with wp-1.5 . I used wp-2.0, and I checked plugin-function and there was no “$more” for me to remove. I saw another thread suggested add [email protected] right after the “$headers”. According to that author, that worked for him/her. I tried that and it did not work. I contacted my server (yahoo small business/I paid the money…), they haven’t gotten me back. I read yahoo’s introduction of wordpress, and it said that wordpress is an open source php stuff so yahoo would not provide help. However, exactly because of such kind of “no help for free source” statement, I suppose yahoo, as a server provider, did not change my server side setting either. My contact form, password delivery email, post notification, comment notification are all not working. Can somebody kindly provide some clues? I will really appreciate your kind attention and help. Thanks in advance!
