Finally I found a solution. One of my buddies was having a similar problem and inquired me about it. Found your site while I was googling around. Well the code looks good but the only problem would be, will it support 2.7?? Anyway I will try to twist d code around and try it out. Thanks for the information. Cheers

It’s quite possible the code has changed. I recommend you check out their support forum just to be sure.

Hmm… I followed your instruction but guess I couldn’t find the lines that should be commented. I’m running WP 2.7. Guess the code had been changed over the versions since your instructions are for 2.3.1 I guess? I had been having the problem since versions 2.5.x.

Nevertheless, thanks for posting this. Maybe I should check some more.

Hi Mark,

No problem. I actually have already searched and can’t find anything. The closest I thing I found to a fix was this blog post of yours.

Ideas?

Hi there! I apologize for the late response. Once I finally got to the new files, I was surprised to find quite a difference. Looks like they’ve changed things up a bit. Unfortunately, my previous fix doesn’t seem to apply here. However, that they mean that they updated the code to where it’s no longer an issue. I could be wrong, but I would encourage you, if you haven’t already, go to their support forum and do a search first, then post the question. I’m sorry I couldn’t have been of more help.

Hi Mark,

Does this work for WP 2.6 as well?

I believe the code is a bit different. The closest thing I found to the code that you listed was the following:

Lines 354 and 355

$phpmailer->From = apply_filters( ‘wp_mail_from’, $from_email );
$phpmailer->FromName = apply_filters( ‘wp_mail_from_name’, $from_name );

Do I comment out either of those lines? If so, which one(s)? If not, what do I do to my WP 2.6 install so that it notifies me of new comments?

TIA
