# Disable Default WordPress Notification

 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to set it so when a custom post receives a new comment, the author
   receives a notification with BNFW.
 * I’ve set up a notification for what I need. However, when the notification is
   triggered, both the BNFW and default WP notifications are sent. I just want the
   BNFW.
 * I’ve tried selecting ‘disable notification’ in the right hand side. But this 
   just stops the BNFW notification being sent. The WP one still sends.
 * Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
 * Thanks
    Jake

 * Update:
    I tried disabling the email notifications in Settings > Discussion but
   the issue still persisted.

 * Hi [@jakeward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakeward/),
    Thanks for your
   message.
 * Can you take a look at this support doc and let me know if the section on Comment
   Notifications is of any help? [https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/disable-default-wordpress-emails/](https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/disable-default-wordpress-emails/)

 * Thanks [@voltronik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/voltronik/), I’ve tried
   that and still no joy unfortunately. Could it be related to the post type by 
   any chance?

 * Hi [@jakeward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakeward/),
    It shouldn’t 
   do but it’s possible.
 * Is this being used on a custom post type?
    Have you tried the comment notifications
   for the post type you’re using from the Notification For select box?

 * it’s for comments on a BuddyBoss/LearnDash essay submission. I’ve got the notification
   set up for comments on that specific post type but the two still get sent.
