Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: No longer getting blog post comment notification sent by emailI don’t think it’s too much to expect that an advertised feature works. And I’ve tried disabling ALL of the plug ins. Doesn’t help. And besides, I can see on the WP dashboard which comments Akismet has marked as spam. None of the missing comments are in there, it’s all real spam.

In reply to: No longer getting blog post comment notification sent by emailJames and Alex,
I’ve been out of town so didn’t have a chance to try the Postman “fix” until this week. After I started the setup wizard, I discovered that it requires a monthly or annual fee to use this, so didn’t install.
I’m still MOSTLY not getting comments to my blog emailed to me. About 1 in 10 perhaps will come through, just randomly. I have a knitting blog, with perhaps 5-10 comments per post at MOST, so this is not a volume based spam problem.
Seriously, this really makes WordPress a bit useless for me as a blog platform. Yes, I can answer the comments from within Dashboard, but that posts the comments back to my blog rather than emailing them to my friends who comment. Nobody comes back to read these, so that’s a useless option as well.
Let me know if you have other ideas.

In reply to: No longer getting blog post comment notification sent by email“Check email” works to send an email from my blog dashboard to me. So what is the next step in fixing this? WP is pretty hobbled as a blog platform without email notification of comments.
