Subscription

It’s possible to send email notification only if user checked subscription checkbox. To enable this functionality you must add such code (e.g. in functions.php in the active theme):

add_filter('scn_enable_subscription', '__return_true');

Optionally, you can also change default checkbox value to true:

add_filter('scn_subscribe_value', '__return_true');

Autoresponder

Plugin have a hidden functionality that sends autoresponder to the author of the comment. To turn it on you must add such code (e.g. in functions.php in the active theme):

add_filter('scn_autoresponder_to_author', '__return_true');

Optionally, you can also turn off default plugin functionality:

add_filter('scn_notify_parent_author', '__return_false');

The title and content of the autoresponder can be personalized:

function custom_scn_autoresponder_subject($subject, $comment_object) {
    return $subject;
}
add_filter('scn_autoresponder_subject', 'custom_scn_autoresponder_subject', 10, 2);

function custom_scn_autoresponder_body($body, $comment_object) {
    return $body;
}
add_filter('scn_autoresponder_body', 'custom_scn_autoresponder_body', 10, 2);

You can even set who will not receive this notifications by changing minimum required user capabilities:

function custom_scn_autoresponder_cap() {
    return 'edit_posts';
}
add_filter('scn_autoresponder_cap', 'custom_scn_autoresponder_cap');
