"Replies only" subscriptions receiving "All" comments

I have the same problem.

I don’t have that problem (only not very nice that one need to change the sourcecode to have R instead of Y as default status).

I’ve created a fix for the broken Subscribe to Replies Only feature. You can download my fixed version here:

https://github.com/raamdev/subscribe-to-comments-reloaded/archive/master.zip

You can also follow development on my ‘raamdev’ branch of this plugin here: https://github.com/raamdev/subscribe-to-comments-reloaded/tree/raamdev

Great Thanx! Need to try your fix.

Please do! And please let me know if you have any trouble with it. I’ve tested the changes and it seems to be working fine, but please do let me know if you discover any problems.

Raam’s fix is working perfectly.

I sometimes have that problem too now… Only very seldom users are affected though. Will try the patched version too…
(too bad, IMHO this functionality should be wordpress core function, not some plugin that has bogus working if unpatched)..,

okay, 2 of my users got bugged by this problem too. After enabling Raam’s version since 2 days, they haven’t been “spammed” anymore. Let’s hope it stays this way…. (also the rewordings and default to R instead of Y is very wellcome – even though I decided to remove Y alltogether as it caused confusion).

When I install the fix, the admin pages gives me a 404 error on the front page? What would cause THAT? o.O

I don′t have the original plugin installed before I installed the fix because it said it is a fixed version, not a fix. Is that correct?

I’m having the same issue as BeautyPirate. I have removed the original version and installed the fix. But now I just get a 404 page. (I did this yesterday, and can’t remember if the 404 came up when I tried to activate the revised plugin, or when I tried to get to the settings after activation. I think the latter.)

This word perfectly fine. It only sends an email for direct comments, love it.

@extremecarver @beautypirate @dish56 Please try this version:

Thanks so much, Raam Dev! I had almost given up on this plugin working, and it’s the only one that has everything I’m looking for.

I was able to get to the settings this time without hitting a 404 page. I’ll be testing it later to make sure it works the way I need it to.

Many thanks!

I’m disappointed to discover that this plug-in only seems to work spottily. I have several friends who are helping me test it, and while a few have received the notifications they’ve subscribed to, it seems that even more have not. I’ve checked the “Manage Subscriptions” page and have confirmed that they’ve subscribed correctly.

Also, as administrator, I’m only receiving notifications to about half of the new comments. (I have this same problem with the notifications I should get directly from WordPress. Interestingly, the missing notifications from this plug-in are the same ones that don’t come in from WordPress; I either get both or neither.)

I also personally subscribed to all from a different email address, and am not getting notifications for most comments.

I was really hoping this would work. Looks like I’ll go back to sending notification emails to commenters by hand.

@dish56 If you’re having trouble receiving standard WordPress emails (like the new comment notifications), then your problem has nothing to do with the Subscribe to Comments plugin but rather with your web hosting service failing to send emails consistently. I recommend checking with your web host regarding this issue.

Two things that have helped me with troubleshooting email delivery problems are the ‘Email Log’ plugin (which maintains a log of all the emails WordPress sends out, including those sent by plugins) and the ‘WP-Mail-SMTP’ plugin, which allows you to manually configure an SMTP server that will be used to send your emails (I personally use Gmail and I have the ‘WP-Mail-SMTP’ plugin configured with my Gmail SMTP details, which are available within the Gmail Settings page).
