Urgent - subscribers get notifications even though it's disabled

Hi @uri_99,

The option will not any affection if the user has already subscribed to the comment/ comments using one of the wpDiscuz subscription options.

You should ask the users to cancel own subscriptions as described in this doc: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-documentation/gdpr/right-to-restrict-processing/#cancel-own-subscriptions

Ok - but what about users who subscribed to the comments and used fake email/or moved us to spam etc.?

I can't ask them anything, will I keep sending them notification emails forever? That doesn't make sense + it's killing our email providers!

@uri_99,

I may suggest you delete the subscriptions from the database. You can find the subscriptions in the wp_wc_comments_subscription table. 

Please note the wp_ is just a prefix, in your case, it can differ.

So what you a suggesting is this:
1. Delete existing subscriptions from the db

2. Disable option to follow comment to prevent future cases

?

@uri_99,

yes, you should delete the subscriptions, then make sure the options below are disabled:

1. Enable subscription bar, the option is located in the Dashboard > Comments > Forms admin page. More info here: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-documentation/getting-started/custom-comment-form/comment-form-settings/#subscription-bar

2. Show “Notify of new replies to this comment”. More info here: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-documentation/settings/email-subscription/#notify_of_new_replies
