Greetings,

I asked about the possibility of making a bcc feature in addition to the cc feature in the blog comments and these are the instructions that I got.

Generally, you can quite easily go into the code and add a BCC field to the email header (in case you choose not to use the built in CC-option):

look for the below statement (lines ~468 & 910, 931):
$headers.= "Reply-To: " . $field_email . $eol; and add a$headers.= "BCC: " . $field_email . $eol; and/or change $field_email to whatever specific email address you want.

I am obviously not a programmer at all and I am having troubel figuring out how to do this.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

OK,

I cahnged the code to this at the first spot (~468)…is this correct?

// ready to send email
// email header for regular email
$eol = "\\n";
$headers = "From: \\"".get_option('blogname')."\\" <wordpress@" . preg_replace('#^www\\.#', '', strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])) . ">" . $eol;
$headers.= "Reply-To: " . $field_email . $eol;
$headers.= "BCC: " . $field_email . $eol;
$headers.= "MIME-Version: 1.0" .$eol;
$headers.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\\"" . get_option('blog_charset') . "\\"" . $eol;

I still can't figure out how to alter the two remaining areas…assuming that this is even correct…

That looks about right. If you want to make the BCC dependent on the "CC:" form input field, you may want to add an IF :

if( $ccme )
$headers.= "BCC: " . $field_email . $eol;

You should also disable the code block below // send copy or notification?, otherwise the visitor will end up getting two emails!

And finally you need to do all the above also for the non-AJAX version which you'll find further down the code. Just search for the other // send copy or notification?

Oliver,

Thank you for the reply.

I am totally lost when trying to code…I have no background at all.

However, I will give your suggestions a try and see what I can come up with.

If you don't mind, I will post my changes here for you to take a glance at.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards,
