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

  1. were overkill for me, but that may fit your needs nicely. I’m running most of the more standard add-ons/hacks, but I’ve added a couple of others in the past few weeks that are worth mentioning and that you may be interested in reading about. Subscribe to Comments This allows your commentors to check a box and receive email notification when a new comment is posted to a particular article. Yes, they could just subscribe to the comments feed instead, but I don’t think most people use the comments feed. I know

    Hello ! I really appreciate that plugin and I wonder if one improvement could be possible (provided that it does not already exist and I would have missed it) : making it possible to see who has subscribed to a specific post. If I do understand well, for the moment, you can ‘only’ see what are the posts to which someone is subscribed.

  3. some thing are gone (at least for the moment), but others have been added, like… Threaded Comments Asides Blog (links to other stories that I didn’t feel waranted a normal post…this has been here a while, but I never said anything about it.) Subscribe to Comments Better (and Updated) Navigation (though most of the pages are empty at the moment) And in case you’re wondering, I’m going to attempt to blog more frequently…things have just been crazy lately with all of the irons in the fire.

Got “Email article” and “Printer friendly” links working, modified from code available here. Added my little face icon next to all my comments. Upgraded the subscribe to post’s comments feature, which now allows you to subscribe without actually commenting. That upgraded required me to upgrade the entire Wordpress engine to 1.5.2. Changed a lot of the fonts. Fixed the sizing of large images on Internet Explorer per this information. And lastly, my dad pointed out that all the timestamps for comments were off by an hour; the simple UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_date=DATE_ADD(comment_date, INTERVAL 1 HOUR); SQL command did the trick “quick-snap” as Mike Skinner would say! The only thing that remains desired is an archive index like this. Anyway, I’m going to sleep. [...]

  8. Shelby says:

    1. You have to run the whole blog in the same language as the language file you’ve uploaded for the plugin. This can only be configured in your wp_config.php file with the option WPLANG.

    2. The language file needs to have the name subscribe_to_comments-.mo where is the same (also the case) as for the WPLANG setting in your wp_config.php. The file must be copied to your wp-content/plugins folder.

    That should be all.

  9. Shelby says:

    Damn, I haven’t escaped my special chars in the last post. Point 2 must be:

    The language file needs to have the name subscribe_to_comments-<language-string>.mo where <language-string&gt is the same (also the case) as for the WPLANG setting in your wp_config.php. This .mo file must be copied to your wp-content/plugins folder.

  16. Michael says:

    Hi, I’ve installed the plug-in but here seems to be an issue - no emails are being sent.

    I’ve had a look at my WP install and mail is set to go out via localhost.

    I have comment moderation on and the standard WP emails go out without a problem.

    What do you think the issue could be?

  17. Michael says:

    Ok, I never claimed to be the smartest cookie in the jar. It seems this was a user problem.

    I was expecting an email when i posted the first time and for some reason didn’t think to wait for a comment to be added in order to receive the email.

    Pretty stupid of me.

    Lesson learnt, don’t go more than 48 hrs without sleep before posting to a blog.

    This is for translators who can use the file to translate the plugin to other languages. It is of no use for ordinary users, so you can just delete it or ignore it.

  29. Doncho says:

    I see quite strange behavior in this beta: each subscribed user receives two notitication mails instead of one.

    I suggest this happens only for the comments, which are automatically approved. The user is notified once by this action:

    add_action('comment_post', create_function('$a', 'global $sg_subscribe; sg_subscribe_start(); return $sg_subscribe->send_notifications($a);'), 50);
    

    And immediately, the user is notified again with this action:

    add_action('wp_set_comment_status', create_function('$a', 'global $sg_subscribe; sg_subscribe_start(); return $sg_subscribe->send_notifications($a);'));
    

    If the comment is held for moderation first this wrong behaviour is not observed.

    I observe this problem with WP 1.5.2 and plugin version 2.0.2.

    Any suggestions?

  31. Mark says:

    Doncho,
    Why is wp_set_comment_status being triggered for new comment posting? That’s the problem right there. Do you have some sort of antispam plugin that might be doing this? I looked, and WordPress should not be doing this on its own.

  32. Doncho says:

    Hi Mark,

    I have not yet confirmed that this is the particular reason. I was doing only code review and I supposed that could be the reason for the ill behaviour I’m observing.

    I will definitely debug the case, but I don’t want to do it on a live blog, and I don’t have testing platform right now (I am in a process for setting up such right now).

    Regarding the plugins, I have the following installed right now:

    WeatherIcon [2.0.1]
    Gravatar [1.1]
    Hello Dolly [1.0]
    Markdown [1.0.1]
    Recent Links [1.4]
    SecureImage [1.0rc2.DA1]
    Spoiler Plugins for Wordpress 1.5 [0.2rc3]
    Subscribe To Comments [2.0.2]
    Text Replace [0.91]
    Witty Text [1.0]
    

    None of these plugins are related to spam. I am using the integrated spam system in Wordpress and also I’m using the SecureImage plugin, which cuts-off completely the automatic spam comments. Actually, this is the only comment-related plugin, which I use, but the ill activity is seen on blogs, which do not have this plugin installed (I have a friend of mine, who’s having precisely the same problem, but without SecureImage plugin).

    I see that the problem does not excercise on your blog - I received the notification only once. So most probably we’re not speaking for general bug here, maybe it’s some weird iteraction, which has to be debugged.

    I will keep you in touch, if I discover anything meanwhile.

    Thanks for the great work, by the way! Keep it running, it’s great!

    Ron,
    If they subscribe when leaving a comment, it is a comment_subscribe flag on the comment. If you allow people to subscribe without leaving a comment, it is stored as a Custom Field.

    When subscribing to a post, the subscription manager page is loaded. Near the top of this page is a link that says “Return to the page you were viewing: click here”.

    Thanks for the great plugin!

  76. Mark says:

    Fr. Daniel,
    You placed the “subscribe without commenting” call within the regular comment form. The “subscribe without commenting” call makes a small HTML form. If you have this form within the regular comment form, you get some unexpected results! So just move the “subscribe without commenting” call down below the ending </form> tag of the comment form and it should be fine.

Additionally, if you choose not to comment, you can still put your e-mail address in the form at the bottom to receive an e-mail notification whenever someone leaves a comment.
