Would you please consider updating it for WP 3.0? Thank you!

I have not tested this with/against the OpenId plugin. Whether or not there is a confirmation message depends on the "Comment author must have a previously approved comment" option of WordPress. Turn it on and there will be only one confirmation message. Turn it off and there will be a confirmation message for every comment. Michael: I made zip in donations so far. I do write software for profit. I actually have so much to do that I haven't felt a need to do any serious marketing here. I do ask all client whether it's OK to open-source the generic portions of the project. My queue of unpublished code is quite long, but I have so much to do... you get the idea.

Well done. I am curious - have you considered writing plugins for profit or are you committed to OS? Do you make much in donations? Another excellent plugin. Well done.

Also once a comment form a commentator was approved is there any confirmation email for next comments from that same commentator? Thank you R Hi

I think this would need a timeframe during which commentators can verify their comments. What (default) timeframe would you suggest? Shabayek: I will take that into consideration.

That would stop commentators who use fake ids, without waiting for the admin to moderate comments, easier house keeping I'd say!

I think they're (part of) the reason this didn't work. Please try this again with a different address! Your regular e-mail address (the one you have the notifications sent to) should be just fine if you use a phony name! (WordPress auto-approves a comment only if both the e-mail address <em>and</em> name match, so the phony name should put you in the right position.) Please also note that no verification link will be sent if Akismet (or sk2 or any plugin in that league) catches the comment and puts it in the spam queue. You may also try posting a comment using my address (I will e-mail it to you) with the plugin turned on, so I can check my messages and/or mail server logs and see what can be done... Thanks for your feedback by the way, as this will probably help me improve this plugin further.

I do get emails when someone legit (has had one comment approved) comments on my posts. The problem I am having is no email is sent to the comment author's email address. As a test, I posted a comment on one of my posts using a phony name and my Yahoo email address. I signed on to my Yahoo account to check for the verification email, but there was no email. If you go to my blog URL, I have a contact link where you can send me an email if you would prefer to discuss this further via email. Here’s my blog URL:

I tried guessing it from your mail address but must have hit the wrong one. Is e-mail delivery from your blog working in general? I.e. do you get moderation messages to the admin e-mail address? Do post authors receive notification messages when there are new comments on their posts? If not, then this plugin will probably not work either. You may be able to get it to work, though...
