Subscribe to Comments 2.1
Subscribe to Comments 2.1 is a plugin that allows commenters on your blog to check a box before commenting and get e-mail notification of further comments. It is one of the most popular WordPress plugins out there for the simple reason that it helps foster a community around your blog by encouraging commenters to come back and stay engaged in the dialog.
Features
- Rudimentary security
- Users cannot enter a random e-mail into the subscription manager and modify someone else’s subscriptions
- In order to modify subscriptions, users need to use a special link, given in notification e-mails, and printed in the comments form as long as they have their comment cookie
- Recognition of subscription status
- Unsubscribed users see the “subscribe to comments” checkbox, but subscribed users see a “Manage your subscriptions” link
- The author of the post is recognized by either login or comment cookie and is assumed to be subscribed to the entry (as they will receive notifications through WordPress)
- Themeable subscription manager
- Uses visual style of WordPress interface
- Can be optionally accessed via “Manage” menu in WordPress
- E-mail verification of block requests
- Javascript “invert selection” link to check/uncheck subscriptions for mass deletion
- “Return to the page you were viewing” link that persists at the top of the page, so that users can easily return to the post they were reading once they are done modifying subscriptions
- Ability to let users change notification e-mail address
- In the subscription manager, users can request that their notification address be changed for all their subscriptions
- Special link is sent to the old address for verification
- Once clicked, their e-mail address will be changed instantly for all their comments
- Easy integration into comments form
- No modification of comments form needed for WP 1.5+ (supported themes)
- For users who want custom placement of the checkbox/link to subscription manager, this can be done with one simple function call, placed anywhere in the comment form
- Subscription without leaving a comment
- By popular demand, you can now offer visitors the option of subscribing to comments on an entry without having to leave a comment themselves
- If the reader later decides to join the conversation, their subscription continues without them having to explicitly set it
- Customization
- You can make the Subscription Manager that your users see use your theme’s header, footer and sidebar, using CSS to style it to fit your site
- Internationalization
- I’ve written Subscribe to Comments 2.1 with i18n in mind, making full use of
__()and_e()functions. The domain is “subscribe-to-comments”.

Version 2.1 Update
Version 2.1 of Subscribe to Comments has a feature that people have been begging me to implement for many months: you can view the list of people who are subscribed to posts on your blog, and you can also see a list of the most “subscribed” posts. Also in this version is a new one-file install. You just put subscribe-to-comments.php in your /plugins/ directory, activate, and you’re done. This version will work on WordPress versions from 2.0.6 through 2.3.1 (highest tested).
Versions
- 2.1.2 Fixed a few bugs that’d send bad notifications (thanks Donncha!), cleaned up some code and moved to using proper WP escaping functions
- 2.1.1 WordPress 2.2 compatibility! Also note that support for
attribute_escape()is needed, so if you get errors about that, upgrade to the latest version in your branch - 2.1 big update, fixing a few potential XSS holes, and misc error messages… see above for details
- 2.0.8 XSS security fixes, hopefully fixed “+” symbols in e-mail for good
- 2.0.7 additional “funky e-mail” fixes
- 2.0.6 support for e-mail addresses with “+” symbols, option to disable CSS “clearing”
- 2.0.4 potential security bugs, better WP 2.0 capabilities compat

Es ist mal wieder Zeit für eine kleine technische Veränderung. Zum Einsatz kommen dafür zwei kleine aber feine Plugins. Zum einen Subscribe to Comments mit dem es Lesern ein wenig einfacher fallen sollte, “interessante†Diskussionen dank Emailbenachrichtigung besser zu verfolgen, vorausgesetzt man gibt keine gefakte Mailadresse an [IMG ;)] Zum anderen
Subscribe to Comments
Hi there - thanks for the sweet plugin! We had to remove Subscribe-To-Comments for a while since bots were signing people up for emails and then trying to sneak a single spam comment through. Got some big huge ugly lists of “subscribers”.
The fix I implemented in this new version is in the add_subscriber function - I changed the SQL that selects the comment_post_ID to check for an approved comment:
$postid = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT comment_post_ID from $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_ID = '$cid' and comment_approved='1'");Seems to work well in testing, so I’m pushing it out. Just posting this for anyone else looking for info…

Hi, this plugin is exactly what I need but I need the “subscribe without commenting” and I am at a loss as to how to set it up. Would like it to appear between bottom of post and above regular comment form. Person I am doing it for would like subscribers to not have to comment to subscribe to comments. When I put all of function show_manual_subscription_form() in single.php tells me is already called by the subscribe-to-comments.php plugin file. I’m a WordPress newbie, I think I am missing something very obvious. Thanks, Tony

Hi, does v2.1 of this plugin work in WP2.1.1?
I can’t get it to work at all - no emails turn up - I have followed instructions explicitly.
Also, I note that the “clear:both” option in WPAdmin stays on no matter what I set in the options page, I click update, but when I go back to the page its selected again.
Thanks

Personally, I am always careful to un-tick the little box so that I don’t get notification unless I want to follow the ongoing discussion. In fact, sometimes, I find it annoying too. Hehehe. However, this plugin - Subscribe to Comments is still a very good way for me to communicate with my blogs visitors. I have a way of them coming back to my site. Then, chances of them browsing around my blog increases if they have landed on it when the email notified them that I have replied.
[...] Subscribe To Comments: Enables people to subscribe to a particular thread and be emailed if new comments are left.

This is a fantastic little plugin.
I’m trying to club this plugin with the “Expand Comments” ( http://nymb.us/projects/show/212 ) plugin. The problem is that I have no clue how to show the “Notify…” checkbox on the expanded comments that display on the index page. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
it’s me again… Sorry for bothering you… I tried adding the line just before the form submission in the inline-comment-form.php included with the plugin… yet I don’t see the subscribe checkbox. Basically, this plugin uses AJAX to display comments (and leave comments) from the blog index page… please help?
Maybe I need to put the function call in some particular spot, or maybe there’s something I’m not doing right?
Hi
It’s me *again*.
Well, I got it to call the function properly… there’s only one small problem… on the index page, the “notify me…” checkbox only displays on the latest post and not on any of the other posts… any cure?
And I’m really if I seem to be spamming your comments… if there’s a forum or any other way you provide support for this plugin, please let me know.
