Hmm, I’m also having this problem.

– php mail() seems to be working fine on my server — WordPress emailing me works fine, and my contact form works fine. Subscribe to Comments also works fine.

– wp_cr_emailed was created successfully, however, I did post a test comment (from a different email I’ve never posted a comment with before), and the table is empty.

– I have accessed my site from an anonymous (not logged in) user, AND my admin account. Neither of which triggered the email to send.

– Plugin is activated, AND enabled.

Any ideas?

I don’t see any problems with deleting wp_cr_emailed if your plugin is deactivated.

Hey thanks for the mods, I’ve been out of pocket for a while, I heard of some issues but hadn’t had the opportunity to correct the plugin. Thanks again,

Here’s quick question…

I de-activated this plugin due to it MIS-BEHAVING…

Is it safe to delete this table from the database? wp_crp_emailed?

I want to clean up any unused tables from the DB.

What do you think?

Thanks.

- Yes i received your e-mail.

- Yes you are right again, the problem is that the function is called on each page, even on administration panel.
I knew something was wrong because i got 2 domains on same hosting and one was loading like twice as faster as the other, only disabled comment relish and worked fine.

- btw, my table was even written with some emails.

I’m running this on this blog and it seems to work. Btw did you get the “thanks for commenting” message from me when you first commented here?

You are right about one thing. IT is possible that this plugin will still make your blog slower. This is because the function that sends the email messages is called on each page load. It should not work like this. It should only try to send the email messages when someone is adding a new comment or when a comment is set as approved.

I will make the modifications required and will post them in a few days.

Ok.

- I Enabled the plugin after activated
- wp_cr_emailed table was created successfully

I’m not sure about the emailing with php thing, but i think it does because i have a contact form and works perfectly.
I did the obvious steps, but i tried and tried and couldnt get it work.

Anyways, dont mind.
I’ts a great idea but it need tweaking, because when i activate it my site is like 2x slower than it is when plugin is desactivated.

Hope to find better versions in the future

Help me if you want me to help you :). If you just tell me you can’t get it to work that’s not helping anyone. you might think giving some details…maybe, did you enabled the plugin after you activated it? can you look into the database to see if it created the wp_cr_emailed table? Does emailing from php ( and wordpress ) even work on your hosting account ? any other information you think it may be relevant…

that’s not how it’s supposed to work. The first time you install /activate it should get all unique email addresses from your comments and insert them into a table named wp_cr_emailed . This will ensure those that commented before this plugin was activated will not receive any message.

Yes, well it searched through 12,000 comments and found the first instance of each commenters’ email and sent them the “Thanks” message. Argggh! No-one has complained yet, although I got a few quizzical replies - like “I wrote that comment one year ago”, etc.
