If you’re willing to use an outside provider, you can add the tag feed to Feedburner. First get the tag feed: http://www.example.com/?tag=tagname&feed=rss2 Then to to feedburner.com and create a feed, then enable “Email Subscriptions” (under the “Publicize” tab). I’ve done this, and it works well.
It’s quite simple, just hook a function on comment_post in which you check if the comment is a reply and send the author of the parent comment an email: add_action(‘comment_post’, ‘notify_author_of_reply’, 10, 2); function notify_author_of_reply($comment_id, $approved){ if($approved){ $comment = get_comment($comment_id); if($comment->comment_parent){ $parent_comment = get_comment($comment->comment_parent); wp_mail($parent_comment->comment_author_email, ‘Hello’, ‘Dude you got a reply…’); } } } For … Read more
What you need to do (as we discussed in comments) is run your conditional logic inside the function that that add_action calls. For example, you’re adding an action to the admin notices hook. The action will run, but the stuff inside that action’s callback will only run if you let it. add_action( ‘admin_notices’, ‘your_custom_function’ ); … Read more
For Facebook: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/ For Twitter: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-twitter-connect/ For Google+ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-google-connect/ The twitter and facebook plugins will autopost from your site to each service.

Thanks again for the help @jdm2112. Updated a few syntax errors and used the same structure you suggested, works great! // Add notification bubble to custom post type menu nav add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘add_cpt_menu_bubble’ ); function add_cpt_menu_bubble() { global $menu; $count_posts = tms_count_pending_posts(); if ( $count_posts > 3 ) { foreach ( $menu as $key => … Read more
You need to write your hook for transition_post_status action: function authorNotification( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) { if ( $new_status == ‘publish’ && $old_status != ‘publish’ ) { $author = get_userdata($post->post_author); $message = ” Hi “.$author->display_name.”, New post, “.$post->post_title.” has just been published at “.get_permalink( $post->ID ).”. “; wp_mail($author->user_email, “New Post Published”, $message); } } add_action(‘transition_post_status’, … Read more
In addition to having the same name, I think it checks the folder name first for updates. You should also change your folder name if you are planning to distribute publicly, or if this is private, you can exclude it from update checks: http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/12/14/excluding-your-plugin-or-theme-from-update-checks/. It would still probably be better to make the names in … Read more
Try this. I cleaned up your arg array and placed everything in a function. Also, why are you using the getInstance method when your efpd_admin_notice is public? See the code below for accessing this method properly. function plugin_update(){ $plugin_update = Efpdd::efpd_admin_notice(array( ‘type’ => ‘update’, ‘message’ => ‘The plugin has just been updated.’, ‘button’ => ‘Click … Read more
After no answers for a long-term solution, I have developed a solution called the WP247 Extension Notification System. It is comprised of two plugins that are in the WordPress plugin directory: A “Server” plugin called WP247 Extension Notification Server that runs on the extension developer’s website to compose and distribute notices. A “Client” plugin called … Read more
