How Its Work ?

we use wp.comments table to fetch approved comments and display in notification list and get current time on visitors(clients) computer to calculate difference comment time and current time.

and if user logged-in then set a background color to single notification to mark as unread and when user click on single notification then it will change color to white and mark as read will calculate notification bubble total current notification.

if user not logged-in then won’t save data to database and will not calculate current bubble total notification.
