Notify All Admins on Comment

Description

By default, WordPress only sends new comment notifications to the post author and the main site administrator email. This can cause delays in comment moderation on sites with multiple administrators.

Notify All Admins on Comment solves this simple problem with a zero-configuration setup. Once activated, it sends a copy of the moderation email to every user with the ‚Administrator‘ role, ensuring the entire team is aware of new comments instantly.

This plugin is lightweight, secure, and follows WordPress best practices.

⚠️ Important Requirement: This plugin relies on WordPress’s wp_mail() function to send email notifications.
To work properly, your WordPress environment must have a working SMTP configuration or email delivery service (such as SendGrid, Mailgun, or a plugin like WP Mail SMTP).
If SMTP is not properly configured or is blocked (common in development or staging environments), the plugin will not be able to send notifications. In such cases, WordPress’s default behavior (notifying only the main admin) will apply.

FAQ

Does this plugin have a settings page?

No, the free version is designed to work out of the box with zero configuration. It automatically detects all administrators and adds them to the notification list.

Does this send duplicate emails?

No. The plugin is designed to complement the default WordPress notification. The main site admin receives the default email, and all other admins receive an identical notification from this plugin.

Reviews

I’m the developer of this plugin. I tested it on a live WordPress site with working email (SMTP), and it works as expected — all administrators get notified of new comments. This is my first review to verify that it’s doing what it’s supposed to do.I’ll appreciate any feedback from others 🙏
