  I’ve noticed (a while ago) that when I am not the author of a particular post, I dont receive mobile notifications of comments — only for post of which I’m the author.

  To get notifications I need to use my phone’s internet, log in to WP, leave a comment and click “receive notifications…”

  Is there a setting to receive notifications for other-authored posts without going through the above process?

  If not, could I suggest making it so that the blog owner gets mobile notifications on every post, not just their own authored posts?

  If the comments are set to Moderate – both the blog owner & author (if not the blog owner) of a Post should receive notification of a comment

  Currently there is no way to set two people to receive comments from a blog – I suggested it a while back as a nice addition with more multi-user blogs

  I admin (and own) a blog for friends, I receive notification of all comments and when I remember to set my friends name as the Author of a Post (they usually email me the post info and I post it for them) – the also get comment notification

  You can update your comments notifications per blog here:
  http://wordpress.com/following/edit/

  If you subscribe to all comments for a blog, you should receive emails for all comments.

  WordPress.com notifications (the chat bubble on a desktop browser and mobile notifications) do not show comments notifications for posts made by anyone other than yourself.

  I do get notifications on my PC browser from any comment on my blog.

  Only on my mobile app do I not get notifications, which sucks.

  Thanks!

  I have sent you a test notification to your main blog, truthinreligionandpolitics.wordpress.com. Please let me know if you receive it.

  It appears you have notifications turned off for johnbarronjr.wordpress.com.

  i got the notification, but if the notifications are off, they’re only off then for posts I’m not the author of. So how can I make sure I get mobile notifications for for comments on every post regardless of author?

  You can choose to receive emails for all comments by checking the box to “E-mail me whenever Anyone posts a comment” in your discussion settings,
  https://truthinreligionandpolitics.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php

  You can follow your comments RSS feed using this link:
  http://siftingreality.com/discussion/rss

  We are always working on improving and extending our notifications system and our mobile apps, so whatever isn’t available in the mobile app now may appear in an upcoming version.

  but I dont want an email when there’s a comment thats why that box isnt checked. I want to recieve a notification via mobile app when theres a comment on a post by an author other than myself for their posts. That’s the problem. I only get mobile notifications for comments on posts I author. I want one for all posts regardless of author.
