    Hi,

    I am thinking about adding function to the front end tutorial below for email notification for new comment.

    cmb2 front end form

    I would like to add radio button like the one with this form at the bottom with “Notify me of follow-up posts via email” so that notification email can be sent out to submitted_author_email when the new comment is added to the post generated by front end form. Before I go too far to the wrong direction, I would like to ask if there is any example or simple way of doing it.

    Thank you.

    I don’t have an example with actual code, but if I were doing this myself. I’d use the radio button to store a user meta value for the post author, indicating that they want to be notified. Then, using the wp_insert_comment action hook, I’d create a callback to grab the author of the post the comment is for, check if they want to be notified with their user meta, and if so, construct a wp_mail() call to email them.

    Not the most complex, but probably not the simplest either.

    Hi Michael,

    I did not make a bigevent on the email notification yet. It is on my list and I will let you know when I get to find solution.

    Thanks.
