  Even though I have my options set properly, the comments being made on my blog are not being emailed to the address that I have specified. Any help?

  When you register a username with wordpress and an email address that email address becomes the “one” and only. If you have tried to change it without sending a feedback to support then this may be your problem and only solution to it.

  Please check your spam folder and see if the emails are in there.

  What email service are you using?

  I’m still not getting comments emailed to me.

  I’m using Yahoo for email. And I’ve checked my spam folder, too.

  Have you changed (ie. have you edited) your email address on this page => Dashboard => Users => Your Profile to a different email address than the one you originally registered with at wordpress?

  That shouldn’t matter.

  All I can suggest is make sure the box at Dashboard -> Options -> Discussing -> Anyone posts a comment is checked. That and make sure your email address is correct. If it is, I would send in a feedback and ask staff about the issue.

  If others were having the issue, they would be in here screaming.

  I changed my email address yesterday and it works fine with gmail.
