In 2.6.1 it should look as this:
case 'approve': $query = $wpdb->prepare("UPDATE wpdb->comments SET comment_approved='1' WHERE comment_ID = %d LIMIT 1", $comment_id); if ( get_option('comments_notify') == true ) { $comment = get_comment($comment_id); wp_notify_postauthor($comment_id, $comment->comment_type); }

The only change is adding:
== true

This WPMU behavior was driving me a bit nuts. Much thanks for sharing your solution!

Thanks for the post ‘admin’ - I help manage a (non?)corporate blog, and my boss stopped getting email notifications since upgrading to 2.5.x - I do believe your suggested patch has fixed it.

So, again thanks very much!

Try to just add in the additional lines (the difference).

Hi,

The code I posted is from 2.5.1. Do you think that replacing this code with the one you posted could fix this issue?

Hello,

The code you printed under ‘before’ is different in that the one in wp-includes/comment.php. This is the code in comment.php:

case 'approve': $query = "UPDATE $wpdb->comments SET comment_approved='1' WHERE comment_ID='$comment_id' LIMIT 1"; break; case 'spam': $query = "UPDATE $wpdb->comments SET comment_approved='spam' WHERE comment_ID='$comment_id' LIMIT 1";

Which version of WP did you get that code from?
