 * Hi. Got a question for you.
 * Lets say John adds a listing to my directory website. Mary comes along and writes
   a comment for this listing. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I dont see 
   John getting an email that someone has commented on his listing. Mary is getting
   an email that she has posted a comment. But I want John to get an email too !
   This way he will know that someone has commented on his listing.
 * Can you please describe step by step how I can go about doing this so John gets
   an email.
 * Thanks so much. Its a great plugin!!! Keep up the great work.

 * HI [@drsaw123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drsaw123/),
    Thanks for your
   message.
 * On the ‘New Comment/Awaiting Moderation’ notification, can you tick the ‘Send
   this Notification to the Author’? This should send the new comment email to the
   listing’s author.

 * Hi,
 * I tried this, but it did not work with me.
 * Questions:
    – What do you mean by the Author? The WordPress Role Author or just
   the person who wrote the original Message (author)? – In the Help of Send to 
   Author (?) is stated: “E.g. If you want a new comment notification to go to the
   author of the post that was commented on, tick this box. Doing so will hide the“
   Send To” box below.”
 * But doing so the “Send To” box will not hide. I have to enter a Role there (admin)
   and the notice is send to the Admin only.
 * Best regards…

 * Hi [@xonnext](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xonnext/),
 * I think you’re hitting two issues:
    1. The documentation needs to be updated 
   and i’ll do that now. 2. The Send To box currently has a bug where you have to
   specify a user or role. Anyone will do. This will be next in the next version
   due out shortly. 3. Is the author also the currently logged in user or the Administrator
   that you’ve got in the Send To box?

 * Hi Voltronik,
 * Thanks for your reply. In the meantime I have also been searching for the solution.
   It works now after I read somewhere on the web in your documentation:
    “In order
   to use this notification correctly, you need to un-tick ‘Email me whenever anyone
   posts a comment’ and ‘A comment is held for moderation’ under Settings > Discussion
   in the WordPress Admin.”
 * And now it seams to work.. So one issue is solved.
 * But this information some nearer to the checkbox might be helpfull (for me)..

 * And another remark: The mail was sent to the autor of the Post. But I still had
   to moderate the comment first. So when the author follows the link, there will
   be no comment visible yet.
 * I added this information to the mail in a P.S., so people might understand.
    
   But maybe in a next release you can link the sending to the moderation moment?
 * Just fantasizng…

 * Hi [@xonnext](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xonnext/),
    Glad you got it
   all working.
 * Both very good points. I’ve added them both to the roadmap for further investigation.
   Thanks for your help 🙂
