can your program replace the standard WP comment/reply form to allow posting of pictures (without having to embed a url?
@fgaston No, sorry, Comment Mail is not designed to replace the commenting form itself in any way.
when I click on either manage my subscriptions or subscribe without commenting, I get a white page.
That’s due to a known bug in the Release Candidate; see the reported issues section here: https://github.com/websharks/comment-mail/issues/278
The issue has been fixed in the dev branch and the general availability release that goes out soon will have that issue fixed.
what is the impact of adding roles to Auto Subscribe the Following WP Roles? So if I add subscriber, every subscriber will be automatically subscribed to all posts?
All users who have one of the listed Roles will be auto-subscribed to all comments/replies for every new post automatically. So, if you added a new subscriber and then published a new post, the subscriber (and all other existing users with the subscriber role) would be automatically subscribed to any comments on that new post.
Comment Mail imported all my users & automatically subscribed them to every comment, which led to too many emails going out.
Where was it importing the users from? Comment Mail should only ever “auto-subscribe” users if 1) you have Auto-Subscribe enabled and 2) you specify a list of WordPress Roles to auto-subscribe.
Or are you referring to existing subscriptions being imported from the Subscribe to Comments Reloaded plugin?
I just want to make sure you’re not seeing a new bug that we haven’t seen.
Will my registered users be able to subscribe on a post by post basis without me importing them?
Yes, registered users can subscribe to comments on a post-by-post basis by either leaving a comment on the post and choosing a subscription options, or selecting the “Subscribe without commenting” link. I’m not sure what you mean by “without importing them”…
