Setting Global comment notification options

You can turn on global comment settings by selecting yes in the main plugin settings as shown above. By default it is turned off. Doing this will create an email notification for all comments for all K2 items in any category.

 

Setting K2 Category Specific options for comments

If you don't want global comment notifications for all your K2 items you can use per category settings. Open up a K2 Category and you will see that there is now a Comment Notification setting screen beneath the category description.

To enable comments notifications for this category slect 'yes' from the 'Enable Comment Notifications' drop down amd specify the emails you wish to notify in the box below. This will now send an email when any item in that category receives a K2 comment submission.
