I am working on a Wordpress 3.9.1 site, specifically the comments form.

I have a copy of the site on my server and I want to test the form in the following three ways:

  • Adding a new comment
  • Replying to a comment
  • Replying to a reply of a comment

To do so, I want to be careful not to send many emails out to the site owner, and I want to be very careful not to send any out any email to site users.

I see under site > admin that there are options to "E-mail me whenever":

  • Anyone posts a comment
  • A comment is held for moderation

These are both unchecked. My question is whether there is anywhere else I should worry about emails being sent (eg if someone replies to a user, does the user get sent an email?)

Emails are sent to site admin(settings->general E-mail Address) when you check the email me option . No need to worry if you un-check that assuming you are not using any plugins that overrides.

  • Thanks. What about the potential for emails being sent to users? Do they get an email when someone replies to their comment?

    no emails will be sent to users unless they subscribe to comments on the post(if comment form has option for subscribing)

  • Just using it out-of-the-box, so it doesn't seem to have a subscribe option. Thanks for your help.
