If you enable comment moderation, admin will be notified when a comment is made and get the change to approve or deny it.
I do not see an option anywhere to enable review moderation. I am speaking about the reviews in the products section. I have Googled how to enable this and find no information. Can you explain how to enable review moderation so admin receives an email that a review of a product has been posted?
Thank you Mike but all those elements are checked in the settings and we are still not getting notifications for product reviews in WooCommerce?
Submit one as a guest.
Submit a comment on a post too – does the same happen?
We get all notifications except when someone leaves a product review on the product in WooCommerce. The review is posted without any admin notification or approval. The problem is that people are leaving product questions in the review section instead of going to the contact page and requesting information. So, without any notification a question left in the review section goes unanswered. Frustrating for a potential customer and for us who want to be customer service driven.
Let me just make it clear, reviews are comments. Thats why I asked you to check if real comments on posts send a notification.
Can you just confirm that for me please?
Please see comment below from client. I guess they are not getting email notifications on comments or reviews?
When I go into the backend of the site I see the comment section highlighted with an orange circle. The questions appear in the remarks area on the product page and would remain there until I remove them. Because I don’t want product questions left in there, I copy and paste into document for the customer service department to handle. Then I delete those “remarks/comments”. I never get emails telling me that someone left a comment though. Its only when I login to make modifications to the site that I see those.
Deidra feels that if someone is interested in a product it’s better to have them just keep entering it there. Out of 12 comments all have been from outside countries who don’t seem to get what that area is used for?
Maybe in addition to having it say, “Remarks” it should say, “Please use the form under Contact Us for all product questions”…
The email under Settings > General gets notifications. maybe its different in your case.
But you are sure product reviews also come through the same approval process?
Yeah – standard comment system. I just tested and got a notification.
There is no way to get notifications for reviews but NOT comments on other post types?
