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

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.

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/

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.

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…

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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).

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?

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

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!

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

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!
