No configuration, support WordPress translation process. ## Installation In most cases you can install automatically from plugins page in admin panel. However, if you want to install it manually, follow these steps: 1. Download the plugin and unzip the archive. 2. Upload the entire `simple-comment-notification` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress. ## FAQ ### Subscription It’s possible to send email notification only if user checked subscription checkbox. To enable this functionality you must add such code (e.g. in functions.php in the active theme): ``` add_filter('scn_enable_subscription', '__return_true'); ``` Optionally, you can also change default checkbox value to true: ``` add_filter('scn_subscribe_value', '__return_true'); ``` ### Autoresponder Plugin have a hidden functionality that sends autoresponder to the author of the comment. To turn it on you must add such code (e.g. in functions.php in the active theme): ``` add_filter('scn_autoresponder_to_author', '__return_true'); ``` Optionally, you can also turn off default plugin functionality: ``` add_filter('scn_notify_parent_author', '__return_false'); ``` The title and content of the autoresponder can be personalized: ``` function custom_scn_autoresponder_subject($subject, $comment_object) { return $subject; } add_filter('scn_autoresponder_subject', 'custom_scn_autoresponder_subject', 10, 2); function custom_scn_autoresponder_body($body, $comment_object) { return $body; } add_filter('scn_autoresponder_body', 'custom_scn_autoresponder_body', 10, 2); ``` You can even set who will not receive this notifications by changing minimum required user capabilities: ``` function custom_scn_autoresponder_cap() { return 'edit_posts'; } add_filter('scn_autoresponder_cap', 'custom_scn_autoresponder_cap'); ``` ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/023f9ccfe736cc9ed42882588dc6e59440483fd1c192829c56a58f7fbb1526d4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not working with 4.9.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-with-4-9-1/)󠁿 [](https://profiles.wordpress.org/monkeykong/) January 7, 2018 4 replies Not working with 4.9.1 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6661a5d85f6d0fa8f8435d10779613ba3dbb7f82c31a494ef7d3de41a4c24fcd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fantastic plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-plugin-814/)󠁿 [serjao](https://profiles.wordpress.org/serjao/) October 11, 2017 1 reply A simple plugin, but it does job very well. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cc16ffb593690511d3559842f2a3ba9b0d430aca75e6d494aa56ff391b017141? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-484/)󠁿 [Gronix](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gronix/) September 3, 2016 To działa! 🙂 [ Read all 3 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-comment-notification/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Simple Comment Notification” is open source software.
