Please rephrase your question. * Just note: wpDiscuz uses the default WordPress comment storage system, all comments are on your database and all comments are manageable in Dashboard > Comments admin page. * **_can existing commenters be subscribed to comments?_** * wpDiscuz doesn’t have an auto-subscription feature. Each user should manually subscribe to the post/comments.
