Notify the author only when a comment is written

    Hello Support,

    this may be a dump question but i’ll have to ask it anyway ??

    – How can i send out a email notification to the author of a post when a new comment is written? When the autor itself writes a comment (or a reply on a comment) on his own post no notifcation should be delivered.

    – How can i control the wish of specific authors that the don’t receive notifications when comments are written?

    Any help would be great

    Andre

    Hi @newslicer,
    You can ensure that comments are sent to the author of the post / page only or you can send new comment notifications to the ‘Author’ user role. Alternatively, you can select individual users to send the notification to.

    Does this help?

    Thanks,

    Hi Jack,

    thanks for your suggestions. Selecting the “Author” user role for new comment notifications would mean that EVERY Author would get a notification when a comment to ANY post would be written right?

    I need to following result:
    – Send a notification to the author when a comment to HIS post is written
    – If the autor itself writes a comment (or a reply on a comment) to his own post NO notification sould be send to him

    Selecting individual users would also mean that those users would get a notification when a comment to ANY post would be written right?

    Kind regards

    Hi André,
    That’s correct, yes.

    I think someone asked the same question recently on the forums and I’ve been investigating how possible this might be. I’m going to see where I am with progress and I get back to you on this shortly.

    Thanks,
    Jack
