## Description

Subscribe to Comments is a robust plugin that enables commenters to sign up for 
e-mail notification of subsequent entries. The plugin includes a full-featured subscription
manager that your commenters can use to unsubscribe to certain posts, block all 
notifications, or even change their notification e-mail address!

## Installation

 1. Put subscribe-to-comments.php into [wordpress_dir]/wp-content/plugins/
 2. Go into the WordPress admin interface and activate the plugin
 3. Optional: if your WordPress theme doesn’t have the comment_form hook, or if you
    would like to manually determine where in your comments form the subscribe checkbox
    appears, enter this where you would like it: `<?php show_subscription_checkbox();?
    >`
 4. Optional: If you would like to enable users to subscribe to comments without having
    to first leave a comment, place this somewhere in your template, but make sure 
    it is **outside the comments form**. A good place would be right after the ending`
    </form>` tag for the comments form: `<?php show_manual_subscription_form(); ?>`

## FAQ

### How can I tell if it’s working?

 1. Log out of WordPress
 2. Leave a comment on an entry and check the comment subscription box, using an e-
    mail that is NOT the WP admin e-mail address or the e-mail address of the author
    of the post.
 3. Leave a second comment using a different e-mail address than the one you used in
    step 2 (it can be a bogus address).
 4. This should trigger a notification to the first address you used.

### I’d like the subscription checkbox to be checked by default. Can I do that?

Not anymore. But the checkbox status will be remembered on a per-user basis.

### My subscription checkbox shows up in a strange place. How do I fix it?

Try unchecking the CSS “clear” option. Beyond that, you’re on your own with CSS 
positioning.

Функция get_currentuserinfo с версии 4.5 считается устаревшей! Используйте wp_get_current_user().

I’m a long term user of this plugin. It just works! I would welcome support for 
multilanguage sites, but this is a minor enhancement.
