    Adding a custom virtual page simply cannot work with wordpress, because WordPress adds a trailing slash at the end of the permalink.

    Example :
    If I create a custom page located at h.ttp://myblog.com/manage-comments
    Wordpress creates the following permalink :
    h.ttp://myblog.com/manage-comments/

    SO, when a user tries to reach the management page, the blog redirects him to :
    h.ttp://myblog.com/manage-comments/?srp=XXXX
    which is wrong, because what we need is :
    h.ttp://myblog.com/manage-comments?srp=XXXX

    Spent two hours trying to understand why subscription management wouldn’t show up ??

    Also, when the admin tries to manage comment subscriptions for a post,
    the management page is missing the radiobutton to change a subscriber’s status to “replies only” (R).

  • Zanes,

    it’s not WordPress that adds a trailing slash, it’s your custom permalink configuration to be set that way ?? You can either change that or go to my plugin’s management page (Settings > Subscribe to Comments > Management Page) and add the trailing slash. It can be fully customized.

    Please let me know if you still don’t understand how to make this work, and once you’re good to go, I would really appreciate if you could remove your “doesn’t work” vote ??

    As for the “replies only”, it’s a dropdown menu, not a radio button. You can activate this under Settings > Subscribe to Comments > Comment Form > Advanced Subscriptions.

    Thank you,

    Hi camu, and thanks for your reply.

    I already tried to add a trailing slash to the management page, however that doesn’t work :/
    I do arrive to the custom page I created to manage the subscriptions (copy of page-noside-nocomment.php from the Monochrome Theme), but what I have are the same options that appear at the bottom of a comment box : the dropdown menu, the text which says if you’ve subscribed or not, and if I can manage the subscriptions for this entry (ie : the same behavior as a post).

    For the “replies only” i mean the link below the comment box in a single post : “You can manage the subscriptions of this entry.”, which brings me to a page with a list of all post’s subscribers, and some radiobuttons to change their status (active, suspended, etc). And here, the radiobutton to set their subscription to “replies only” is missing (well at least it’s missing for me). Subscribers correctly have this option though.

    Regards,

    Zanes

    Hi there,

    Can I have access to your blog to check your configuration? Send me a message at

    and I’ll take a look at it.

    I see. Well, that’s the page for the AUTHOR, who technically should not be allowed to override the user’s type of subscription. That’s something that only the administrator should be able to do, in my opinion. I mean, who are you (as an author) to decide if I should receive ALL the replies or just the ones to my comments? ?? That should be the user’s business, don’t you think?

    Hi again,

    I think one part of the reason it won’t work is because on my Settings -> Permalinks, I have selected :
    ?Day and name h.ttp://example.com/2011/07/28/sample-post/
    (notice the trailing slash at the end of the permalink structure)

    Your plugin can’t seem to take me to the management page because it uses sample-post/?srp=XXXX instead of sample-post?srp=XXXX

    I could probably fix this by using a custom permalink structure without a trailing slash at the end, although that’s a bit of an overkill ??

    Management page works fine with the virtual page enabled, so I guess I’ll stick with this.
    Was the request supposed to work with ___/?srp=XXXX or does it only work when there is no trailing slash (ie : ___?srp=XXXX)?

    About the “replies only” : Ok my bad, I thought it was only for the admin (thus he should’ve had all options) and not for authors ??

    Regards,

    Zanes

    Subscribe to Comments Reloaded can handly any permalink, as long as it matches your permalink structure in WordPress. People use trailing slashes, .html, .htm and a few other custom URL endings and it seems to do its job just fine ??

    (PS : For your request, sorry I can’t :/ security oblige)

    I understand.

    Cheers,
