WP Notification Bell


Most notification plugins only allow you to manually notify people. Or, they only email notifications. This is the only plugin 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 know if someone has replied to their comment (without relying on email).



I'd love it if there was one more shortcode added. A shortcode to show a list of the user's notifications. In other words, I don't think I want to use the bell and pop-up. I'd rather have a page with a shortcode that shows the notifications.



Please create an add on for Frontend PM as well.


WordPress needs this

On-site bell notifications. Display notifications custom or triggered (new posts/cpts, WooCommerce order updates, new comment replies, bbPress...)
