Title: [Plugin: Post Notification] – Send from post author email? Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Post Notification] – Send from post author email? * [FriendlyWP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mmcginnis/) * (@mmcginnis) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-post-notification-send-from-post-author-email/) * Hi, I’ve read through the Post Notification documentation and tried to look through the files but I’m afraid of breaking this plugin. Can anyone tell me what code, where, would allow me to have the notification emails automatically be sent “ from” the post author? * All my posts are authored by registered users of my blog, but there are quite a few of them. When people hit “reply” to the post-notification emails, their replies all come to me as blog admin. I’d like those replies to go to the authors of the posts instead. * (I’ve already tried using Subscribe2 and can’t get it to work consistently for all users after literally a year of trying, so that’s out.) * All suggestions very welcome – thank you very much!

Just that issue should give you pause… when they get delivery problem notices, you are unintentionally distributing email addresses of some users to other users. I think the whole idea is pretty frought, and will even move nice juicy conversations off of your blog site into priivate emails, what good does that do your site? * –EDIT:– Just realized you may be saying you have a group of authors, and each should handle their own post-related stuff. I was thinking you were talking about COMMENTS and the authors of the comments, not posts. If not, sorry. * If YOU don’t want to receive the replies, then you should find a way to change the “from” address on the notices to a “no-reply” address. * [syfr12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syfr12/) * (@syfr12) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-post-notification-send-from-post-author-email/#post-886782) * // Release 1.2.27.1 * // 30.12.08 change1: add option post_notification_max_exe reason : default max_execution_time is 30 seconds at most server site, it’s too short,will caulse query sql be executed too much times For perfmonce ,give you a chance to add the max_execution_time to greater number termporily; * change2: In sendmail.php->post_notification_create_email() find “$subject = get_option(‘post_notification_subject’);” add new line: $subject = str_replace(‘ @@author’, $post_author, $subject); reason : add author in Email Subject * change3: Add choice to blog Admin, who can make the “reply to” to Post’s Author’s Email Admin Should set Sender-Email: as @@author_email detail : In sendmail. php->post_notification_create_email() Add $header = str_replace(‘@@author_email’, $post_author_email,$header); * you may download the branch version here: [http://blog.retailsolution.cn/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/post-notification122712.zip](http://blog.retailsolution.cn/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/post-notification122712.zip) * [syfr12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syfr12/) * (@syfr12) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-post-notification-send-from-post-author-email/#post-886783) * you may also download version 1.2.27.2 , this version add option for admin , which can control whether Auto subscribe when new user registing; 1.2.27.2 [http://blog.retailsolution.cn/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/post-notification12272.zip](http://blog.retailsolution.cn/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/post-notification12272.zip) * [syfr12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syfr12/) * (@syfr12) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-post-notification-send-from-post-author-email/#post-886784) * it’s a greate plugin , the author is preparing for version 2 ; * I hope the functions above will be added by author in version2 ; * [morty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morty/) * (@morty) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-post-notification-send-from-post-author-email/#post-886785) * [@syfr12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syfr12/): I’m not monitoring WP. org.
