Email Notifications + Other Features
-
Hi,
Firstly, credit where it’s due – this has to be hands down one of the best plugins ever created. Like many others, I’ve used 1000s of plugin on WordPress sites and know the difference between good and bad ones. This plugin you’ve created is not only simple to use, but also does an amazing job with ease. Fantastic work and a great achievement you should be very proud of.
I am hoping for some help on a few questions I had and to ideally make this amazing plugin even more fantastic for use on my website.
1. Is there a way of enabling a notifications system for the plugin whereby (1) an email is sent to the reviewer immediately after they submit a review and as a double opt-in to verify the users email address and (2) an automatic email to the reviewer once a response is submitted from the back-end?
2. The code snippets advice you had for another reviewer was fantastic. I’m now able to edit the contents of a review.
3. Is it possible to have custom review submission forms for different pages and with different fields?
4. Is there a way to introduce ‘Login via Facebook or Sign up with Email’ before a user can complete the review form?
5. Is it possible to manually edit the name that appears in ‘Response from…’ in the front-end when showing a reply and using custom fields? Also, is it possible to add a author image to a reply/response? I know the response name is taken from the user logged in name, but it would be great if it was possible to just manually change it as an admin in the back-end.
6. Is it possible to include drop-down menus in the review form?
I think that’s it with the main questions I had. Thank you in advance for your help and again for creating such an amazing plugin.

It works correctly for me.
Have you copy/pasted exactly as given?
Try changing the subject line to see if you have duplicated the function elsewhere. Also, select “Only run in administration area” in the snippet (although this really shouldn’t affect the result).
The code I used was as follows. I can’t seem to find where the issue could be.
/** * Send an email notification to the review author after responding to a review * This will only send an email if the response value was previously empty. * Paste this in your active theme's functions.php file. * @param int $metaId * @param int $postId * @param string $metaKey * @param mixed $metaValue * @return void */ add_action( 'update_postmeta', function( $metaId, $postId, $metaKey, $metaValue ) { $review = apply_filters( 'glsr_get_review', null, $postId ); if( empty( $review->ID ) || !empty( $review->response ) || $metaKey != 'response' )return; $from = get_option( 'admin_email' ); $to = $review->email; $subject = sprintf( 'Reply to your review', $review->author ); $message = "Hi, \n\n Congratulations, your recent review submitted. \n\n Review Response:\n\n $metaValue \n\n You can respond directly to your review by emailing [email protected]. Your reply will be sent directly and for them to respond to you by email.\n\n Would you like to revise your review and rating? Please get in touch with our team at [email protected].\n\n Best Regards, \n\n" ; $headers = ['from: '.$from, 'reply-to: '.$from]; if( !( wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ))) { apply_filters( 'glsr_log', null, 'The email notification for your response was not sent. Please verify that your server is able to send emails correctly through Review Your Politician.' ); } }, 10, 4 );I tried uploading an email using the email address e.g. [email protected]. The user then receives a message to say thank you. Then, when I add a response to the review in the dashboard, the user receives at e.g. [email protected] to say they’ve received a response.
