Description
The Comment Email Responder v2 is based on the work of Andrew Flusche who can up with the original concept and wrote the first iteration of this plugin. It’s purpose is to provide an easy mechanism for a blog administrator to email a response to one of the comments placed on the website. The response becomes a comment in the normal way, but also fires off an email to the commentor with the content of the response and his original comment.
Installation
1. Download the plugin file, unzip and place it in your plugin folder.
This makes the plugin available to WordPress and it should now appear in your Plugin folder. The zip file also includes an icon for the plugin which should also be placed in the plugin folder.
2. Activate the plugin
This “starts up” the plugin. At this point, the plugin is active, but won’t work correctly till it is configured
3. Configure the plugin
The plugin can be configured both from a new panel in the Options menu called Comment Email Responder. Please go to this panel and supply the required information.
Usage
Once the plugin has been activated you’ll notice a new icon appearing next to commenter names on your posts. Click on this icon to respond to the comment. When you save the comment, a copy will be emailed to the person who left the comment.
Download
Comments/Bugs
- The plugin behaves well with the Subscribe-to-comments plugin and won’t email someone who’s already subscribed to the comment thread.
- The plugin assumes the existence of the “comment_form” action which is optional for template creators. If this is missing in your template, please add it accordingly.
- The plugin assumes that your admin user is set to wp_user_level 10. While this is true in most cases, some WordPress installations mess this up. If the plugin doesn’t seem to work, check out the fix on Cynthia’s blog.
History
v1.0: Base release. Implementation by Andrew Flusche
v2.0: New version. Admin interface added and automatic insertion into template on activation
v2.1: Minor bug fixes

This is a great plugin. I’m just wondering if you can make this plugin support HTML and make an option to reply to multiple comments.

It’s not working on WP 2.3. I have a standard theme, checked everything on levels, comment_form, but still not sending email (but all the emails from that server or other services at WP are working fine).
Thanks for your help, and this great plugin (I know I’ll love it when it works)

Can you also make something that you can see the quoted tekst in your comment… that would be so great, because i’m looking for this for a long time…
and also something, that you can choose yourself were you want the quote icon to be placed… because now i see the icon in the “Last comments” in the sidebar…

*chuckle* was just writing a reply when I noticed you posted a follow-up comment.
I need to spend some time looking at BTC to see how to get the plugin working with it, but if it needs modifications to the BTC comments.php, this might be too difficult for most people.
WP provides a number of extension points, it’s best for plugin authors to use these rather than providing customised theme files that may or may not work with particular themes.

Ha. So you can just ignore my last comment. Because I was, in fact, doing something wrong.
I still had the BTC comments.php file loaded for my theme, instead of the default. So it wasn’t *your* plugin that hated me, it was my own inability to remove all customized files. *facepalm*
So, yay! I love this plugin, thank you so much, the only way I would love it more is if it did work with threaded comments, but I will be PATIENT and love it lots anyway.

Hi Owen!
I think this plugin is a fantastic idea, and I would love to use it!
Except it hates me. That’s the only thing I can figure. Because everyone else says they can’t get it to work with Brian’s Threaded Comments? And I can’t get it to work WITHOUT it.
If I have deactivate BTC (or removed it entirely) then I can click on the little icon and I get the comment box, but when I click on the “Add Comment” button I get a little error box that says “ERROR: It looks like the website administrator hasn’t activated the Brian’s Threaded Comments” plugin from the plugin page.”
So I activate BTC and suddenly I can’t click on the little icon anymore.
So obviously it hates me. Or, I suppose I’m doing something stupid and I’m hoping you can tell me what it is. *G*
Thanks so much for your work on this, I promise if I get it to work I’m make all sorts of squeeful noises over it.

Love the concept, but when I install it, I get the Icon showig on the comments, but it’s not clickable. I installed it, activated it, and set the options.
When I try to click on the Icon, I get get an “error on page” in the status bar on IE 7.0.
I’m stuck using wordpress V2.0.2 for a few more months. I’m using the Andreas theme if that matters. Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I’ve picked up on 2 main requirements for future version:
1. That you get the name of the person you’re commenting to instead of the CommentID
2. Investigate what’s needed to work with Brian’s Threaded Comment.
I’ll look into these as soon as I get the chance …

Love the plugin! Figured out the whole correct folder locale, so the envelope icon shows up. Yeah! Still, have the following issue and it may just be a setting….First, the plug in doesn’t seem to work with Brian’s Threaded Comments plugin. That is, when I use the envelope icon to reply, the reply goes to the bottom of the comments and is not related to the original comment. Second, if I enter my own email in the box for email addies, shouldn’t I then get a copy of the reply I sent? Or a notification of the same? How do I know the person I replied to got the original comment? If there’s an extra step I need to do to coordinate this, I’d be willing to do it. Thanks for taking a look!

Hi, I was using this without any problems until yesterday. Now I don’t get any email notification that someone has left a comment, I have the moderation option on. I removed the plug-in and it works fine again. Just wanted to let you know that there are some conflicts with the Dexter version.

Hi Owen!
I have a collaborative blog site (multiple users), all users are set to authors. Can your plugin work in this scheme?
I installed the plugin (2.3) but it doesn work. How can I add “comment_form”? where should i put it?

This is a fantastic plugin. It came as a complete surprise because I was doing a search for Subscribe to Blog plugin search for my new business blog. I came into your blog out of curiosity, and I am not regretting at all.
Especially with a new niche site of mine, sometimes visitors leave a message and when they failed to subscribe in comments - they do not even know I have replied. This is a great plugin to remind them without pestering them, “oh I left a comment there and I forgotten all about it…”
Now, it’s time for the next immediate comment and see how well this plugin works. Totally wicked find. Thanks for the effort, and keep it up.

Thanks x millions for this great plugin. I’ve been using it for quite a while now and love it
Though I have one wish: that it could work together with Brians threaded comment plugin too. That would be awesome!!!
