Notifications also stopped working for me. I have not tried troubleshooting, personally, but I just wanted to chime in and subscribe to this topic. Thanks!
It’s not working for me as well. Very strange.
I guess the plug-in author doesn’t want to deal with this. Since I had to get something working, urgently, I used another simpler plugin.
BTW, in a somewhat related way, is this a major drawback in using WordPress? That is, is it necessary to check every single plug-in on every single site, whenever there is a version upgrade available?
@avir673 – What plugin did you use? I haven’t been able to find anything to replace this one.

So far it seems to work okay. I only need it to send out to one other user.
I’m not sure that will work for what I need. All I am wanting is to be notified of comments on posts by my other co-authors.
I think if you’re the administrator you should get notifications if you have that option checked off in the settings.
Nope, that doesn’t work. I receive notifications of comments on their posts only if they require moderating. Other than that, WordPress does not send me notifications of comments, unless they are on my own posts. That’s what I was using cbnet for.
I see. Hopefully the plugin author or someone else who can help will pop up and give some assistance.

Hey Guys,
I’ve had the same issue with the plugin and did a slight bit of investigating… The plugin was returning an error where it looks to add the email for the Site Admin to the notifications…
I fixed it on line 114 of cbnet-multi-author-comment-notification.php which looks like this:
$email_addresses = array_merge( $email_addresses, $site_admin_email );
if you change this line to:
$email_addresses = array_merge( $email_addresses, array($site_admin_email) );
This should fix it. Hopefully the plugin author can take a look and fix it for us if that’s the right thing anyway 🙂 Seems to be working better for me now…
Thanks, Flick. I have made the change and reactivated the plugin. I’ll post back to this topic, once I have made sure that corrected the issue.
I appreciate you taking the time to do this, as I understand nothing about the coding.
I can confirm that the change suggested by Flick have corrected the issue. I am receiving the notifications once again.
Thanks for investigating this. My wife had major surgery a few weeks ago, and I’ve had no time to look into it. I’ll try to push out a fix tomorrow.
Thanks, Chip. I understand life’s responsibilities take precedent over things like this. I hope your wife is better soon.

Thanks Chip! Hope your wife is okay and recovering well!

The plug-in is not working and I’ve checked it several times by disabling all the other plugins. When I disable this plugin the mail notification does work. Also I have it installed on another site with an earlier version of WP and it does work there, which leads me to think that the plugin isn’t working on 3.8.1. Could this be the case?
Thanks,
