Comment notification email is not working

  • Hello everyone,

    I have a problem since I’m not receiving any email notifications every time someone post a comment on my blog. I have activated the E-mail me when a new post has been posted and before a comment appears an administrator has to approve that comment.
    I used to run a free blog before in wordpress.com and it always worked, now it just doesn’t work and I don’t receive the email to then approve the comments and reply from my email instead of having to go to the blog.

    I’ve searched on the forum but all the answers seem to be from 4 or 5 years ago with earlier versions on WordPress.

    I use Prophoto Blog and contacted them but it’s not an issue from Prophoto. I don’t know how to solve the problem, could anyone help me out? Thanks a lot!!

    Mamen

  • I helped a friend to set up a self-hosted WP blog, and all these while (for almost 6 months now) it’s been OK, she received comment notification emails whenever any comments are held for moderation. But it suddenly stopped since this morning. Checked everything, we didn’t do any upgrade yesterday, it just happened.

    I am having the same exact issue. I just suddenly stopped receiving notifications when someone posts a comment. I didn’t change a setting or upgrade anything. I am on WP 3.3.1. Help!

    I just solved this problem! I was having the SAME issue and narrowed it down to changing the Title of my site under SETTINGS> General > Title. I had put a “>>” symbol in between two words as a seperator and this must have somehow scrambled the way the mail is routed. I changed the symbol to “|” and the problem corrected. Hope that’s helpful??
