Hi, Yes I am using a different plugin to auto subscribe the person who comments on the post. But this would not send an email to someone subscribed to a category.
A button on a web page starts a new post in a specific category. This new post just says “ask your question” and then the person who clicked the button can ask a question. Once that happens both parties are subscribed. However, the person subscribed to the category receives two emails. A notification about the new post and a notification about the reply.
Maybe there is a different way to handle this but I have yet to find it.
If I knew how to pull out the value of “comment_count” I think I can block that first email.
Thanks
-Ben
