1. Hi Owen,

   I added this plugin on my blog:) Thank you for the very helpful instruction. I also send my thank you to Andrew!

   Can I exchange links here too?

2. Everything seems to be fine, but as some people realized above, my icon (the envelope) is unclickble. And none ” Replying to: ? message appears. 🙁
   And don?t appear any error message, nothing. The icon isn?t cliclkble and that?s all… 🙁

3. Hi Owen 🙂

   Thanks so much for all your hard work! Unfortunately, I cannot make this fantastic plugin work on my blog. 🙁 I’ve done everything I can think of, but it just won’t work. I’ve even changed themes, but it makes no difference. I have no idea what is wrong.

4. I can’t wait to try it!

5. Ok, installed, testing, my envelope icon isn’t clickable, but I did configure it like stated with the name, email and other info.

6. Hi. I can’t get the plugin to show up on my comments. I am “admin” so do I need to do some sort of code or configuring, outside the standard plugin configuration?

7. Fantastic plugin!! Thank you so much!!

8. I love this plugin! Thanks Owen!

   One question… when I reply to a comment, it says “Replying to: ” then a number. How can I change that to the commenter’s name instead?

9. Fantastic!! My only issue is that when someone who is registered and logged into my blog leaves a comment, their name disappears from the comment..leaving only the icon – which works when clicked by the way, and the ‘says’ which also works when clicked. In the recent comments widget on sidebar, same thing. Instead of saying ‘registered usersname on ‘name of post’ it only says. Only an issue for myself when I am logged in as admin.
   Oh I’m also about to test it with a threaded comments plugin, will let you know how I go 🙂
   Cheers, Kelly

10. I downloaded the plug in but i do not see an icon that allows me to eamil anyone

11. I am using the Benevolence theme. I also edited the url in the .php of the plugin to point to where the image is. Other than that, I have activated and edited the options, but I haven’t changed any other coding.

    Nonetheless, I also don’t see the icon. Owen, please email me back!

12. Ok, it seems as though your plugin works very well with the YATCP plugin I’m using for threaded comments, but conflicts with meng tracker which tracks links clicked. I deactivated that after looking at page source and it’s all working brilliantly now 🙂
    Cheers, Kelly

13. Firstly, kudos to you and Andrew Flusche for the brilliant plugin. I’ve got a feature request which I’d like to see developed in the next version of the plugin.

    I usually respond to several comments within one single comment. Is it possible where the plugin could select multiple comment IDs so that I am ‘replying to 331,332,334 and 335’ all at once? Basically it means sending the same email to all 4 comment authors.

    Cheerio!

14. Apparently I needed to have the cite tags. So now the image is showing up. However, it remains unclickable…

15. Ah! Clicking the icon does it work. It changes my comment box to “Replying To:” #. Niiice, it works!

    Is there a way to change the # to the commenter’s name?

16. Holy cow!! Owen, it looks like you’ve been doing a bang-up job with the plugin support. I had no idea so many people were using the plugin.

    Don’t hesitate to bug me if you’d like some help with anything. I just finished my last final exam, so I have a little more free time (for now).

17. Hi Owen,

    Would it possible to have Word Press email comments to your inbox and then you could respond from there.

    Currently you have to respond through the pop box form provided and to receive comment emails and then respond directly back to that blog entry would save time.

18. Hi, I’m using this plugin since today on my blog. I noticed a few points regarding XHTML syntax which was possible thanks to the Firefox HTML Tidy plugin. In brief, some HTML parts in your plugin was modified to suit XHTML syntax (lines 33, 80, 82). Also on line 82, the id and its value are twice repeated (id=”reply_comment”). That also needs to be fixed. After that, HTML tidy gives a nice big green tick mark 🙂 If you want

19. Oops sorry, pressed the button too quickly. As I was saying, I can mail you the diff of the two files if you want.

20. I cannot get this plugin to work–after installing and cliking on the icon gives me the comment # below the form field so I know the JS is passing the correct comment #. But have tested and get no email notifications to my email accounts (non-admin accouts).

    I am using the MistyLook 2.2 theme which I have edited, and running WP 2.1.3.

    Had the same problem with the “Subscribe to Comment” plugin where emails were not going out. Can this be a mail server issue?

21. First off, I want to say what an awesome plugin!! I have had it implemented for the last week, but it wouldn’t email. Wouldn’t you know, you have to read all the instructions on how to set it up first? Anyway, I have it completely running and love it. Thank you for the wonderful plugin. Just so you know, I am running 2.2, and threaded comments also. I disabled my subscribe to comment, because, well, it is no longer needed with your wonderful plugin.

22. i dont see any icon, i use the upstartblogger theme, please help

23. It is all I ve always wanted. But… ;-P Unclikable???
    Trying fix it myself, but not really. I guess is the scrip:

    onclick=”javascript:RespondToComment(‘ . $commentID . ‘

    Please let me know how to fix it.

    Many Thanks

24. I’m getting nothing on my blog. No icon, no reply thinger, nothing.

25. it doesn’t work for me.. y not?

26. Okay I got your plugin to work and I love it! Well, it works on two of my blogs. On my LunaTail blog (the one I’m commenting with) I don’t see the little envelope to let me reply to the comment. Hrm…

27. I got this to work. I didn’t have a 10 listed in the DB for my admin user. Check out the link under my name for my fix. 🙂

28. Thanks Cynthia. I’ve added a link to your post in the Comments/Bugs section above

29. I’ve discovered your plugin and i’ve found it amazing. Therefore i decided to translate the procedures regarding installation, usage and the rest into Romanian language so the Romanian users can implement it more easily into their blogs.

    Soon, i hope I’ll have enough time to translate also the plugin into Romanian (As i did with most of the plugins installed on my main website).

    I don’t know if it is possible, but maybe a language file would be good to have.

    The “Romanian” translation of this page (partially) – is to be found at http://xtc.rudy.ro/index.php/plugin-wordpress-comment-email-responder/

30. I have installed this plugin but not sure if it’s working. Thanks for sharing this plugin.

    Me too… Isn’t it possible?

    []’s!

32. Hello,

    I just installed your plugin. It sure is a fantastic contribution to the wordpress blogging experience. Thank you.

    However, I face a problem. The icon is properly appearing but when I click on it, nothing happens. I realized that there is a javascript function attached to the icon, but there seem to be errors.

    Any help would be appreciated.

33. @Frederick: Can you confirm you have in your template header?

34. @Rodrigo: Yup, this will be there in the next version. Working on it right now 😉

35. Yes is there in the header.

    Cheers.

36. exactly what I was looking for and works a treat!

    Kudos!

37. Hi,

    Great plugin. Exactly what I was looking for.
    But… I have a little problem.
    Actually, I also have installed the Subscribe-to-comments plugin and if someone is already subscribed, they still get the second email from your plugin.
    Any ideas?
    It’s kind of bad for a reader to be “bombed” twice.
    Thanks for any help.

38. Olá Owen, I’ve just installed your plugin and I believe it’s working fine! Thank you very much for your contribution!

39. Any chance you’ll be making one for Blogger?

40. Ugh, I just installed a new template and now the comment email responder isn’t working… hrmph. Been looking at it for a couple hours now and not sure why. If you get a sec… 🙂

41. @A Marques: Hmm .. it should work well with the other plugin. I’ll run some tests and get back to you.

42. @Cynthia Blue: Have you confirmed your admin user has a user_level of 10? Sometimes wordpress doesn’t assign a user_level to the admin user and this has proved to be the thing that trips up the plugin the most.

43. My Icons are unclickable too

    I`m usign WP Ajax Comments

44. @Cristian: Have you tried disabling the WP AJAX Comments plugin to see if it makes the problem better ?

45. I tried that but did not solve the problem.

46. I figured out the problem of the user level. Just check your name and set youself to admin. If someone else said this, so what, I wanna feel smart. LOL

47. I blogged about your wonderful plugin here, Owen!

    Comment Email Responder saves your time

48. Thanks Pelf! You’re a star !

49. Owen – Let me first compliment you on a fantastic plugin! I absolutely love it. Excellent job.

    Now if you do not mind can I make a suggestion for the next version? I would love the opportunity to respond to more than one commenter in a single response. In other words, if I have three people comment on a post, I could click on all three of them to receive one comment I wrote.

    What do you think? Thanks again!

50. @Cord: Thanks for your comment. I’m glad you find the plugin useful.

    The next version will have the ability to specify multiple recipient. Just have some outstanding testing to do on it before I release.
