  All of a sudden both of us administrators are getting emails every time we post a comment saying we need to approve our own comments. This never happened before today and is intensely annoying! How can we change it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Report it to staff. It’s a bug. There’s another thread about it already

  Thanks, I’ve done that. Glad to hear I’m not the only one.

  Me too. I have set comments to “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” and I’ve made more comments on my blog than anyone else!

  I’m now getting an email for every comment that I make on my own blog, and the email shows my gravatar as an unregistered user, even though when making the comment it recognizes my WP login, shows the proper gravatar, etc.

  The fix for this was identified 7 years ago for WordPress.org distributions: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-i-have-to-approve-my-own-comments.
