I’ll check in a few hours

Great, please let me know either way, whether it seems to work as expected or if it doesn’t.

Hey Devin!
Thank you for the feedback. With version 1.1 I’ve now changed the plugin so that the comment notification only triggers on WordPress standard post types of “post” and “page”.

The next thing would then to enable admins to configure which post types they want to have notifications sent on and that would default to either all or only “post” and “page”.

Comments? Hope this helps ??

Version 1.1 now includes this feature of not notifying author of comments that have spam status as true.

Hope this helps ??

Greetings again godthor and npacademy!
I’m happy to announce that with version 1.1 of the plugin it is now possible to opt-out of notifications sent by this plugin on a per-user basis: there’s now a checkbox in the user profile for this.

Hope you find this useful!

Thank you for the feedback! ??

Hey Harkesh!
Could you double-check that you have comment notification enabled in https://wordpress-site-domain/wp-admin/options-discussion.php ?

Please notice that when a comment is posted on your site using Disqus, only Disqus will know about it and get the data; WordPress running on your site will not know about it at this point. Your site/WordPress will get the data of the comment only AFTER Disqus decides to post it back to your site (which usually happens approx 5min after the comment was posted to Disqus). BUT if a comment is caught in Disqus moderation, your WP site is never notified and hence also this plugin will not know about the comment and will not send any notification.

Hey Caparico!
Did you get the issue resolved?

Hey Brandon!
Anything new regarding this issue? Did you receive info from the author on whether they were notified by email or not? (in reference to your prior: “…waiting for confirmation from the author on if they were notified or not.”)

Greetings godthor and npacademy!
Apologies for the delay in answering, I hadn’t gotten a notification that there were new forum posts and had not notices.

Anyway, yes, godthor you’re correct: if you’re admin on Disqus then you will indeed receive two notifications on your own articles.

Thank you for the suggestion. A custom user profile field (checkbox) for optin in/out of comment notifications would probably be the best implementation. Do you guys agree?

Ok, cool, thank you for the update!

Hey Brandon!
Thank you for your feedback/contribution!

SHORT REPLY:
Could you please edit the plugin in WordPress plugin interface and replace the code with this: https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/disqus-notify-content-author/tags/1.1/disqus-notify-content-author.php?format=txt and verify if it solves the problem? Thank you ??

LONGER REPLY:
I used the approach you described but as wp_insert_comment hook already gets passed the comment object, in order to avoid unnecessary lookups, I opted to get the comment_approved info from that object. The only thing I’m not sure of currently is whether the comment object that gets passed into the wp_insert_comment hook has been updated by prior hook functions or if the passed object is “at initial state”. Due to the fact that in PHP5 objects are passed by reference by default, I’m thinking the comment object should/probably holds the “active state” corresponding to the possible alterations made by prior wp_insert_comment hooks.

Could you help me out by going in the WordPress plugins listing and editing the plugin by replacing the current code with the following v1.1.RC1 code: https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/disqus-notify-content-author/tags/1.1/disqus-notify-content-author.php?format=txt

For debugging I added a function that writes a dump of comment data into your WordPress root in a file called comment_dump###.txt where ### is the id of the comment. Feel free to comment out the call to that function in case you don’t want it.

Do these changes seem to fix the problem, in other words that Akismet-marked pingbacks do not end up notifying authors anymore? If yes, I’ll release the code (with debugging dump removed) as version 1.1.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Caparico!
I run the plugin also myself on multiple of my sites; I just double-checked and for me the plugin works with WordPress 4.1 and Disqus 2.84 even though the plugin doesn’t officially claim support for these versions. I will update the version support info today.

Regarding your problem: Are you in general able to receive email that is machine-sent from the server you’re running your site on? Like for example, if you fire up a simple PHP script using PHP’s mail function, will you receive those messages?

Email getting caught in users’ spam folders (or not getting delivered at all) might also be due to missing or incorrectly configured SPF and/or DKIM records in your domain’s DNS management. If you’re not familiar with SPF and/or DKIM, here’s basic info:

SPF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
DKIM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail

Does this help?

Ok, excellent!

Hey,
Thanks for the notification; interesting. A few questions come to mind:

1) Do comments get imported back to WordPress? In other words, do you see the comment listing at https://fantasyteamadvice.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php ?

2) If the answer to the above was “no”, make sure you haven’t disabled automated comment syncing at https://fantasyteamadvice.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?page=disqus#adv

3) If it still does not help, could you provide me with the Debug Information from the bottom of this page: https://fantasyteamadvice.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?page=disqus#adv (exclude the disqus_api_key and disqus_user_api_key values).

Hope this helps,

-Janne
