 * Hi,
    Thank you for such a useful plugin. I’ve configured a notification to post
   author when some other user write a comment. It works smoothly but it also send
   a notification when there is a pingbak for the post. Is there any way this can
   be avoided so I can configure a different notification for pingbacks? Cheer.

 * Hi [@mosquis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mosquis/),
    Thanks for your
   message.
 * There are separate notifications for Pingback and Trackbacks in BNFW however,
   I normally advise disabling pingbacks and trackbacks as I’ve read they have limited
   benefit these days. If this isn’t an option for you though, let me know and I
   can try and investigate why this might be happening.
