About cbnet Multi Author Comment Notification

Easily enable email notification of new comments to users other than the post author.

Via Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion, enable email notification to users by site admin, user role (Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber ), or define arbitary email addresses to notify. Also, optionally disable email notification for comments left by registered users.

Email notification for individual users can be enabled via each user’s profile.

No emails are being sent. Why?

The Plugin merely filters the list of email recipients; it does not send email. Be sure that you have enabled (checked) the “Email me whenever” options for either “Anyone posts a comment” or “A comment is held for moderation”. If neither of these options is enabled, no emails will be sent.

Where did settings go?

Plugin settings can be found under Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion.

Comment email notification for individual users can be configured via the user profile.
