Keep on keepin' on ...

great plugin

By Cosmin T. (cosmindan22) on April 18, 2024

Amazing plugin with lots of options!

Excellent plugin - works perfectly

By Danishsard on February 12, 2024

I tested it for a long time before I decided to use it. Very good plugin, very nicely done.

Maybe the author would create a separate one - for subscription to new posts - if it is not possible to implement it in this one.

Great plugin, I recommend it to everyone.

Doesn't work on latest WordPress

By (jmstacey) on August 14, 2023

This plugin does not work on latest WordPress 6.3 and PHP 8.1. Using default WP Theme and plugin content is not loaded within the template. The plugin produces multiple text-only repeats of the same content on a blank white page. Email notifications are sent repeatedly as noted in the GitHub issues tracker. This plugin appears to be no longer actively maintained.

Wonderful

By dg_4und20 on March 9, 2023

I use it since many years. Works fine and without errors. Thanks!

Спасибо

Классный плагин, все четко работает. Совместим с wp review pro. Отлично. THANK YOU!

Doesn't show the subscribe option when posting a comment

By obahat on December 27, 2022

I'm happy to change the review rating after someone explains what's going on.

I installed the plugin, configured it as per the instructions, but - when I test the plug-in by leaving a comment - I don't see the "subscribe" option as I was supposed to... any ideas?!?

I like the Plugin

By Brian Bill Opiyo (brianbill) on October 10, 2022

I wanted a way to bring back website visitors whenever there was a new reply to their comments but I couldn't. Fortunately, I stumbled up Subscribe to Comments Reloaded and it has been doing amazing work ever since. I can't thank the developers enough.

maybe the best comment subscription plugin

By ucero on September 30, 2022

I think it's the best plugin for comment subscription. It works very well and it's free. This plugin gives me everything I want, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!
