# Comment Notification (again)

 * I’ve seen lots of posts on this but no real resolution, so I’m bringing it up
   again (sorry). As of this weekend I am no longer receiving e-mail notifications
   when a comment is left on my site (juneatnoon.com). I have not changed anything,
   either in my settings or the site coding itself prior to this happening. I did
   an upgrade to version 2.8.2 a week or so before the problem showed up, but wouldn’t
   the problem have started right then? I upgraded to 2.8.3 hoping it would fix 
   the “bug,” but no luck. Any ideas?

 * I am reading so many different theories on this but no help other than plugins
   and fiddling with e-mail addresses. Is there really no good fix to this? Eek!

 * I’m having the exact same problem.
    comment notifications just stopped this morning.
 * I tried changing email settings in WordPress but that didn’t help so it’s not
   my email provider.
 * Tried deactivating all plugins.
 * I use cformsii plugin and it can still email completely fine and I would assume
   that uses the exact same email system?
 * I’m with Godaddy and have another blog I’ve setup identically with them that’s
   working fine though it’s on a different account where I’m an accountexec.

 * …Actually I just this minute re-installed WordPress from the Upgrade section 
   and they seem to be back!!!

 * …and now it’s stopped working again.
    Tried making a comment on another WordPress
   blog I’m sharing space with on the same Godaddy account (different database) 
   and that one’s working fine.

 * Solved by installing:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/)(
   After lots of searching for solutions this one cropped up a few times.

 * Sorry to be bumping this but comment notifications have stopped again.
    Just 
   tried to register and notifications about that work fine which is quite puzzling!

 * And, funny enough, mine just started working again. I haven’t changed anything.
   I did install the mail-from plugin, which didn’t work, but that was a couple 
   weeks ago. Now, suddenly, I’m getting notifications. I deactivated the plugin
   to see if it made a difference, and it hasn’t. I’m wondering if it had to do 
   with my server? Or maybe it’s just a fluke and they will stop working again. 
   Time will tell….

 * The fix I’ve found is to create a [wordpress@your-domain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-notification-again/wordpress@your-domain.com?output_format=md)
   email address on your host site. That’s the address used to send the email notifications,
   and adding this address worked for me. I found the fix in some guy’s blog.

 * Can you link to the fix you found?
 * This just happened to me a few days ago now. No more notifications. I don’t receive
   comment notifications from a wordpress email alias, I receive them from the person
   who actually made the comment.
