Just logging your blog and go to settings, permalinks and hit save. You don't change anything, but you do need to walk though the steps. Doing so should help. Let us know. No problem.

Can you explain how, why, where, and when this needs to be done as if you were talking to a complete "newbie"?

Re-creating the permalinks is necessary. You may also need to go to the plugin authors homepage and get the latest beta version. Yes and yes. Re-creating the permalinks is necessary.

Make sure you have the latest version of the plugin and you may need to re-create the permalinks. Hi Bryan, it seems to work for me.

It looks like you are using Akismet and you either need to update the email on Wordpress' options page, your profile or possibly your Wordpress.com account that goes along with the API. As for replying, the best thing to do is just reply to the post as they did. That away other visitors can see your comments too. If you did just reply to the commenter, it may look as if you have un-answered questions on your blog. Stephen, the issue isn’t with the plugin, but the WordPress setup.

I don't know if you can help me but it's in relation to being "notified" of comments that people leave on my blog in response to articles, etc. Before I go any further, I love the colors you have here! It's gorgeous! Lime green bordering...hmmm..interesting! Anyway, I've downloaded the plug in for adding a box for readers to subscribe to comments for a post so that they get notified. No sweat. It seems to be working. However, the problem is on my end. I wnat to get notified everytime someone leaves a comment in response to my post. At first I was getting them to my yahoo email address. One day i decided to change all my emails inside the Admin panel to another email address. Now suddenly I'm not getting any more notifications! Nothing is coming to me now. Why? Any idea? And here's another thing. It/s very frustating to not be able to get a notification upon which I can reply directly to the commentator. It seems I have to go to the blog and leave a comment there. Is there a better way of: 1. getting notified of each comment people leave 2. replying directly on that notification in response to their comments (instead of going inside admin panel and/or going to the blog itself ?

I'd check with your server to make sure that there is no restrictions on the PHP mail function that the plugin uses. Sorry David, it looks as if you do have an issue.

I did enter valid information, but regardless, the original 'fictitious' comment was deleted after testing. I've added a new comment on the article you replied to, so fingers crossed you've already received an email update about that. No idea where it hasn't been working properly. I installed the plugin properly, with one PHP file in the plugin directory and the subscription manager PHP file in the root folder. If you could let me know you were notified that'd be great.
