FAQ

Do I have control over the formatting of the email?

Not at this time. The standard emails still go out, they just don’t contain the email address or IP of the commenter.

Which Pluggable functions does this plugin override?

The following functions are overriden by this plugin:

• wp_notify_postauthor
• wp_notify_moderator
• wp_new_user_notification

Due to the way pluggable functions works, you can NOT have any other plugins trying to override these functions or they will clash. Some of these functions have actions/filters that you can use to further modify how they operate and in time I plan to add more of these hooks to my versions of these functions.

I want to help with development of this Plugin!

The project is now hosted on github.com. Just fork the project and send me a pull request.
