<h4>Purpose</h4>
<p>This plugin notifies post/page author by email of comments posted through the<br />
<a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/disqus-comment-system/" rel="ugc">Disqus Comment System</a> plugin even if the author is not an admin of the Disqus account used for the site.</p>
<p>In other words, this plugin implements the same notification functionality that WordPress ships with out of the box but which is disabled by using the Disqus Comment System.</p>

Disqus Notify Post/Page Author

If using Disqus, the authors of posts/pages do not get notified of comments if they're not Disqus moderators. This plugin fixes that.
