    Hello, thank you for providing this great plugin.
    Not sure if we have missed a setting somewhere. Is it possible for the author and those connected to an idea to be notified everytime an idea gets an update, new comment?
    This would save time having to keep visting the site every few hours to see if there has been a reply.
    Currently we only see that admin receives these notifications.
    Thanks.

    Hi @perce2,

    Thanks for your kind words.

    It depends on what you mean by update and comment I suppose.

    So one thing to note is that ideas can really only be edited from the backend. There’s currently no notification for updates, there are notifications when an idea gets created and there are whole range of author and voter notifications in the plugin settings. The pro version has the ability to send an email from the idea edit page to the auto or particular voters (https://northernbeacheswebsites.com.au/root-nbw/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/send-an-email.jpg). IdeaPush uses a custom post type for all the ideas, so it’s possible to use this function here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post to hook into every time a post is updated and then send a notification to relevant people. This requires custom development work, if you don’t have this ability to code this yourself. You can reach out to us via email if you want an estimate for this.

    Now regarding comments, the key thing to note here is that IdeaPush uses the standard WordPress comment system and we don’t touch this at all. So what you need to do is find a plugin which has this notification ability or once again via custom development work send an email to relevant people using the comment_post action: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/comment_post/

    I hope that helps.
