1. Comments and More

Recently, Disqus has been very unstable by the wall of a certain country, so it has used the comment system that comes with WordPress, but this comment system does not have an email reminder when the commenter is replied. I have my own sending server (AWS SES) system, so in theory, this effect can be achieved with plug-ins. But I have seen a lot of plug-ins. Basically, the operation pages are too complicated, and the reply emails usually do not support Chinese. I only need a simple reply system, so I don’t need to be so troublesome, so I just developed one myself, and finally realized this perfectly. Function.

The feature of this feature I developed is: when the commenter is replied, the email title is “Re: [article title]“, so that when a commenter’s message is replied by multiple people, it will be automatically sent to the local email client It is classified into one category; and the commenter can reply to the email directly after receiving the email, and will directly send an email to the sender of the reply (it will not be displayed on the website, and I can’t see it, it will be two people’s private chat).

The content of the email is concise, without extra useless things, and will not be recognized as Spam.
