Subscribing to comments.

[nonethefewer]

If you are using Wordpress as an installed thing (versus WP.com), and you have the Subscribe To Comments plugin installed, there is a way to let people subscribe without having to comment.

• Navigate to the folder for the theme you're using.
• Edit comments.php.
• Look for </form>.  Immediately after that, paste this:
  <?php show_manual_subscription_form(); ?>

If you want a bit of separation, put <hr /> just above that line.

If you want to edit the text, look for the show_manual_subscription_form() function in /wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-comments.php.  Look for the first single-quoted item in all php _e items – that'll get you to the explainy text, the text label, and the button label.

Ta-dah!

(I should write the author and ask them to make this a proper setting.)
