By default, we auto-subscribe you to a post (or any post type) to receive further notifications about the content. This will happen if you add an editorial comment or edit and save the content. Fortunately, there’s a way to change this up. First, though, read our introduction to extending Edit Flow.
If you want to block auto-subscription for all cases, simply add the following to functions.php in your theme:
[sourcecode lang=”php”]
// Do not auto-subscribe any user to receive notifications when saving a post or when adding an editorial comment
add_filter( ‘ef_notification_auto_subscribe_current_user’, ‘__return false’ );
[/sourcecode]
If, instead, you only want to turn off auto-subscription for leaving an editorial comment, you’d include the following:
[sourcecode lang=”php”]
/**
* Do not auto-subscribe any user to receive notifications when adding an editorial comment.
*
* @param bool $auto_subscribe the default auto-subscription functionality
* @param string $subscription_type the type of auto-subscription that might occur: ‘comment’ for adding an editorial comment or ‘subscription_action’ for saving a post
* @return whether users should receive notifications when modifying a post
*/
function efx_dont_auto_subscribe_for_editorial_comments( $auto_subscribe, $subscription_type ) {
// Do not auto-subscribe when adding an editorial comment
if ( $subscription_type === ‘comment’ )
return false;
// Keep the default functionality in other cases
return $auto_subscribe;
}
add_filter( ‘ef_notification_auto_subscribe_current_user’, ‘efx_dont_auto_subscribe_for_editorial_comments’, 10, 2 );
[/sourcecode]
To instead turn off auto-subscription only when editing a post (rather than when posting an editorial comment), change the first line of code in the function to:
[sourcecode lang=”php”]if ( $subscription_type === ‘subscription_action’ )[/sourcecode]
