How to fix Wordpress if you don’t receive comment notifications

February 13th, 2008

Maybe you have noticed, after you’ve made the upgrade to Wordpress 2.3.2, that you don’t receive comments notifications anymore. At least, I’ve observed that on our younger blog, EzMoneyOn.Net, though I’ve set the option to receive notifications when someone leaves a comment. Funny thing is that on 134u.com I’ve received comment notifications, although I’ve upgraded to the same Wordpress version. The settings on both blogs were the same. Hmmm :roll:

I’ve search on Goole for this issue and I’ve found an article explaining that this seems to be a Wordpress bug.

The solution is very simple and consist in a little modification to the file pluggable.php, located in wp-includes folder.

You’ll have to comment the line 228:

$phpmailer->Sender = apply_filters( ‘wp_mail_from’, $from_email );

So it should look like this:

//$phpmailer->Sender = apply_filters( ‘wp_mail_from’, $from_email );

After I’ve made the change, I’ve uploaded the file and it works. Just that the “from” from the notification looks strange. It didn’t show the person who left the comments, but an email address from BlueHost (EzMoneyOn.Net is hosted on BlueHost).

So I’ve commented the line 227 either:

$phpmailer->From = apply_filters( ‘wp_mail_from’, $from_email );

Which finally look like this:

//$phpmailer->From = apply_filters( ‘wp_mail_from’, $from_email );

Now, my comment notifications on EzMoneyOn.Net work fine. Just to notice that on 134u.com I haven’t made any changes on this file, but the comment notifications works fine either.

Note: Even if WordPress has released 2.3.3 version, it seems that this issue wasn’t fix.
