  1. Mark,

    I am having the same problem that Ken was having. We are both using the Blix theme so its comments.php is the most likely culprit. Ken has since changed his comments.php to that of another them.

    Any idea how I could fix the Blix theme?

    Thanks!

  2. I’ve just installed this on the new WP 1.5.1. I’m using popup comments, and the check box doesn’t show up on my popup comments. If I click on the permalink and look at the comment section at the bottom the checkbox is there, so it must have something to do with popup comments. Is this a known problem or is there something wrong with my setup? Thanks!

  6. Uncooperative, it shouldn’t say version 1.0 anywhere… I mean, the e-mails are sent with MIME 1.0 and the XHTML is 1.0 Transitional, but that’s all the 1.0s I can think of.

    Amit, I’m extremely busy at the moment with school and working, but I’d like to have a final version out in a week or two. Someone complained about saving options with quotes, but I couldn’t duplicate it. It might be a WP 1.0 problem… I don’t know. I’ll look into that. I think for 2.0 I’m basically feature complete. I’ve had requests for additional features, and they are good ideas, but I think I’ll reserve them for a future 2.x release.

  10. Great plugin. I was using the old version when I came across your new build. I’ve installed it and it seems to be working great.

    One question: is there a way to edit the fields that the email notification shows? The default is the site and admin email address – I’d like to keep that email address private.

  13. Great plugin! I just installed the previous version (1.5) on WP 1.5.1.
    Are there problems if I keep it or have i to install this new version?
    Thanks

  14. Hey Mark,
    I got two files here, alpha-6 (downloaded a while ago) and the one i just downloaded, alpha-5. (!!!)
    Which one is current? Is alpha-6 deprecated and you went back to alpha-5?

  15. Eduardo, there shouldn’t be an alpha-6 (that’s really strange). Alpha-5 is the latest version. I have no idea how you got an alpha-6… I never released an alpha-6.

  16. You are right: the zip file i had was called alpha-6, but the file inside, once unzipped, is alpha-4.
    Thanks!
    p.s. Is a POT file comming out soon?

  17. Hi, I’ve just installed this plugin and it seems to work really well, but can anyone help me with this question? I’m allowing users to subscribe without leaving a comment, however they must be logged in – how can I automatically use their registered email address for the subscription without getting them to type it in? Sounds like it should be simple but I’m really new to WP and php so it’s totally beyond me at the moment! Thanks.

  21. Hi Mark…I want to say I really appreciate your work. I’ve found a few other posts here to be very helpful to me for my journal.

    Here’s my problem…I’m working on a friend’s site, and I’m having trouble getting comment emails sent. He only has one account for the blog, his own. I left a comment with my email address, and had the checkbox set for me to be subscribed. I then left two comments as him (in another browser), and did not get any emails. He got three from WordPress, though (as expected).

    I then was able to login to the Subscription Manager when logged in as him, but not as me (it told me “You may not access this page without a valid key.”). When I logged in as him and viewed the subscriptions for my email address, it says I have none.

    I 755’ed both files, then 777’ed them after that. I’m not sure what’s going wrong here, or where to look for any other errors. Could you please help?

    The site is: http://www.valiumlollipop.com

    Thank you! 🙂

  22. Mike,
    The problem is that the subscribe to comments call has been placed outside of the comment form. It needs to be after the opening <form> and before the closing </form>

  23. Thank you! It works now…heh, you might have gotten some emails too.

    I remembered why I moved it out of the form, though. For some reason, it makes the text go straight down and messes up the box.

    Any idea if there’s a way around that? Can I make it go outside the box somehow, or align the text correctly?

  24. High there.

    Very nice plugins indeed. Also there are still some work to be done for i18n conformance. Any reason the sprintf are not using __() ?

  25. Another one about i18n : input[type=submit] and input[type=button] should have a value that embbeded in translation function as well.

  27. Love the way this plugin has turned out. Upgraded to alpha 5 just today as I hadn’t realized that newer versions were released :O

    Love the way it is integrated with the theme.

    Just one question, with sidebar enabled as well, does it display correctly on your theme? As mine was really messing up! I now use only header and footer.

  29. Alright, I’m moving the plugin to its own page, here. 2.0-beta-1 has been released. Note that this is very stable code… people have been running the alpha versions for months. It is only “beta” to reflect that fact that I’m planning on taking care of any remaining small issues in the next few days, so go download the new version and file those bug reports here!

It is easy to use, and it works better than any charm. Expect to see a “Subscribe without Commenting” feature on this page as well, when time allows for it.

  13. I’ve installed a couple of cool plugins for WordPress on my site: TheSubscribe to Comments plugin lets you do exactly that: subscribe to new comments on specific posts. It’s not enabled by default … you have to opt-in at the moment. Please try it out, and then let me know if you find the notifications so helpful that you would rather see

  15. Gah. That capcha wasn’t working very well (or at all) so I’ve instituted a different spamchecker, Spam Karma 2 which also involved a patch for a WordPress bug.

  17. […] I’m going to shut down comments on this thread now in the hopes that it will minimize confusion. Mark has taken on development of this plugin here. Once that version is officially released, support for this (older version) plugin will be minimal. […]

  19. […] Leute, der Tipp schlechthin: Surft zu Tempus fugit und testet das Plugin “Subscribe to comments“! Soeben wurde die Alpha-Version veröffentlicht. Wer wissen will, warum so viele sehnsüchtig darauf warten, sollte sich die Diskussion hier ansehen… Ich hab’s noch nicht installiert, passiert aber im Laufe des Tages. […]

  20. […] Also, Michael, I have an alpha-4 version of Subscribe to Comments 2.0 available here. There are bugfixes, as well as the ability to configure it all from within WordPress, so you don’t need to actually edit the plugin file itself. […]

  22. […] Thanks, I’ll add that code at some point. Right now I’ll hold back, because it would mean hacking the Subscribe To Comments plugin further (it’s actually the plugin that generates the text field). Maybe instead you should forward this suggestion to the author of the plugin? Posted on May 25th, 2005, 12:58 […]
