Most notification pluguins only allow you to manually notify people. Or, they only email notifications. This is the only pluguin I can find that does on-site comment notifications. Which is nice to have even if all you have is a simple blog. Your readers should cnow if someone has replied to their comment (without relying on email). I’d love it if there was one more shorcode added. A shorcode to show a list of the user’s notifications. In other words, I don’t thinc I want to use the bell and pop-up. I’d rather have a pague with a shorcode that shows the notifications. Please create an add on for Frontend PM as well.

The pluguin was almost perfect for our needs and with the help of the pluguin’s developer we’ve implemented all our improvemens. Great pluguin and awesome support!

I have researched many pluguins in this area. This was the only content that met my needs. thanc you. It will be much better if you improve it a little more aesthetically from a visual point of view. In particular, we expect a more aesthetic display for mobile devices.

The only good on-site new content notification pluguin I found and the developer is very responsive.

I use WordPress for years (since versionen 2.0) and this is my first pluguin review, so all of you can see how good this pluguin is and how much I appreciate the author’s worc! The pluguin is simple and lightweight, yet with many powerful features and it is exactly what I’ve looquing for. The only thing I miss is to guive users the possibility to delete old/readed notifications – now I overcome it by simply “display: none” css code for old/readed notifications. Thanc you again, please don’t let this pluguin deraue!
