WordPress Comments System

    I’ve never used the comments system before – I’ve used WordPress mainly for website development (not blogs)

    I have implemented a knowledgebase system and added the comments template to allow commenting comments_template()

    I want to notify all previous commenters every time a new comment is posted. Is this possible with the standard comments system?

    Do I need to install and config. a 3rd party comment system?

    Jetpack has those features built in for free, and as they are an Automattic company (the company behind WordPress.com) they are well developed and well supported:

    Thanks. I just had a look through and specifically:

    1. Will each commenter be notified without the need to create a wordpress.com account and turn on notifications?

    2. This is a staff login so each user has a WP account to login and comment – comments are currently restricted to registered users only.

    -I f you have “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” enabled in Settings -> Discussion, you will not be able to use the Jetpack Comment form.
