Pro. This feature requires WB Member Blog Pro. The free plugin must be installed and active first. See the Pro index for every Pro module.
Choose which emails and on-site notifications you get about your posts and the writers you follow. This page is for members; site owners can find the site-wide settings in Notifications.
Change Your Preferences
Section titled “Change Your Preferences”- Go to your member home: the Blog tab on your profile, or the site’s member dashboard page.
- Click the Settings tab, then Notifications.
- Tick the notifications you want and untick the ones you do not.
- Click Save Preferences.
If you do not see a Notifications section, the site has not turned it on.
Email Notifications
Section titled “Email Notifications”| Preference | You get an email when | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Notify me when my post is published | Your post is approved and published, your scheduled post publishes, or a post you co-author is published | On |
| Notify me when someone comments on my post | A reader comments | On |
| Notify me when I receive a co-author invitation | Another writer invites you onto a post, or someone accepts or declines your invitation | On |
| Notify me about post approval/rejection | A reviewer asks for changes on a post you co-author. Reviewers also get the “a post needs approval” email through this one. | On |
| Notify me when someone reacts to my post | A reader claps or reacts | On |
| Notify me when my post reaches a view milestone | A post passes 100, 500, 1,000 or 5,000 views | On |
| Notify me when my post is sent back / not approved | A reviewer sends your post back, with their reason | On |
Writers You Follow
Section titled “Writers You Follow”| Preference | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Tell me when somebody follows me | An email, and on BuddyPress sites a bell notification, when someone starts following you. You hear about each follower once. | On |
| Tell me when a writer I follow publishes a post | An email for each new post from writers you follow | On |
| Send me a digest of what the writers I follow have published | A periodic round-up instead of, or as well as, single emails | Off |
The digest is off unless you ask for it, and it is never sent when there is nothing new.
On-Site Notifications
Section titled “On-Site Notifications”On sites with BuddyPress or BuddyBoss, a third group sets the notification bell: Post published notification, New comment notification, Co-author invitation notification, Post submitted for review notification, Post reaction notification, View milestone notification and Post not approved notification. All are on by default. They are separate from the email choices, so you can have the bell without the email or the other way round.
If the site has turned off BuddyPress notifications, this group is replaced by a note saying the bell is not available.
Unsubscribe From One Email
Section titled “Unsubscribe From One Email”Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. It turns off that one kind of email and leaves the rest alone, and it works without logging in. You can turn it back on here at any time.
