Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Comment Reply Email

Yes, this plugin works perfect with the latest version of WordPress! It also works with older versions as well but you should always run the latest WordPress and PHP version for best security and performance. This plugin is used in my critical sites so you can be assured it works perfect.

No. It's coded extremely lightweight, no CSS or JS script. It does only the essential function and nothing more. Very lightweight. No heavy PHP processing or database queries. I'm an absolute speed fanatic.

Not unless someone wanted to pay for my development time and costs. This was intended as a free community plugin. I do have to update the default .PO file soon (after I finalize the wording) so translations can be submitted.

With CSS of course! It shouldn't take any developer more than 15 minutes of time.

Use the comment_reply_email_content filter in your theme's functions.php or custom plugin. Example: add_filter('comment_reply_email_content', 'my_custom_shortcodes', 10, 2); function my_custom_shortcodes($content, $data) { $content = str_replace('[my_custom_tag]', 'Custom Value', $content); return $content; }
