Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Comment Approved Notifier Extended

No, it only sends notifications for actual comments. Trackbacks and pingbacks are excluded by design to prevent unnecessary emails.

Yes! The email body supports HTML, so you can add styling. The plugin includes a professional, responsive template by default. For advanced customization, you can modify the template file in templates/email-template-1.php.

You can use these shortcodes in both subject and body: * [commentauthor] - Comment author's name * [commentedposttitle] - Post title * [commentaddress] - Direct link to comment * [commentcontent] - Comment text * [blogname] - Your blog name * [blogurl] - Your blog URL

Yes! The plugin uses WordPress's native wp_mail() function, which works with any SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP, Easy WP SMTP, or Post SMTP. For better deliverability, we recommend using an SMTP plugin.

No, emails are only sent when a comment transitions from "unapproved" to "approved" status. Newly posted comments that are automatically approved will not trigger emails.

Yes! The default email template is fully responsive and includes dark mode support for better user experience.

Absolutely! The plugin is translation-ready. Use the included .pot file with Loco Translate or Poedit to create translations.

The plugin is specifically designed for standard WordPress comments. Custom post type comments work as long as they're registered as the 'comment' type.

No. The plugin is extremely lightweight with zero bloat. It only loads on the admin settings page and when a comment is approved. No frontend resources are loaded.

The plugin logs errors to your WordPress debug log when email sending fails. Enable WP_DEBUG_LOG in wp-config.php to view error messages.
