   I am writing a small plugin that needs to execute after someone has posted a comment and I don't think it is triggering properly.

   Is there an easy way to test it?
   

   function myfunction($comment_ID) {
     update_option('test_respsonse', 'This should be saved');
   }
   add_action('comment_post', 'myfunction');

   Technically shouldn't myfunction() get executed when someone submits a comment?

   On the admin page for the plugin I have something to this effect:
   echo "Repsonse: ". get_option('test_response');

   But it does not show any changes so I am assuming my add_action() hook isn't executing properly.

   What am I doing wrong?

   Hi,

   I have exactly the same problem.
   The add_action('comment_post') didn't work

   A very simple and visible example

   add_action('comment_post ', 'toto');
   function toto()
   {
       die('djay');
   }

   Nothing happened :(

   /////
   Forget what i said, i putted a space in add_action('comment_post ') :D
