Is this plugin still being maintained in any shape or form or has it been abandoned?
Thanks.
]]>I want to show the total number of subscribers who follow me on the author page, Does anybody knows how it’s done?
]]>Hi
I am new to wordpress and trying to create a site. Could you please help me in adding follow author functionality in my multi authored site – https://www.sharingourexperiences.com.
I have read through the FAQ of this plugin. But unfortunately I do not understand what do you mean by –
Plugin will automatically find the author link and display the pop card. Author link should contain the rel=”author” attribute. If it’s not working please add the ‘data-authorID=””‘ to author link.

Hi,
Its a great plugin works fine. i want to display users subscribed authors list on side bar please help me how can i display subscribed authors by particular users.
Thanks in advance
Hi, I’ve just set up your plugin, but it’s not quite working. I can see in the database that it has recorded that I’ve subscribed to another author (who has one post right now), but the plugin shortcode says “Sorry, no posts found from your favorite authors.”
Any idea why it would not display the post from the author I am subscribed to?
]]>i have install this plugin but there is no pagination available to go to the next page and load more post.
]]>I’m using WP User Frontend Pro to post from the front end. Here is the link to it’s developer docs. Hoping you can help. Thanks.
]]>Hello,
we’ve been using your plugin successfully, though there are a few features you may want to incorporate in the future versions:
1) Allow sending the full post message as part of the notification.
2) Add post link to the notification.
3) Set Sender email to the author email (as an option).
4) Allow sending notification on posts status changed to Private for sites with restricted memberships.
For #1 in default.php change
$post_content = wp_trim_words( $post->post_content );
to
$post_content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $post->post_content);
for #2 in default.php
add $post_url = esc_url(get_permalink($post_id));
and <h3 class=”h3″>$post_title</h3>
for #3 in wp-subscribe-author.php
add
$author = get_user_by(‘id’,$author_id);
$author_email = $author->user_email;
and set
$sender_name = $Author_name;
$sender_email = $author_email;
For #4 in wp-subscribe-author.php
consider changing
add_action(‘new_to_publish’, array($this, ‘wpsa_notify_author_subscribers’));
add_action(‘draft_to_publish’, array($this, ‘wpsa_notify_author_subscribers’));
to
add_action(‘transition_post_status’, array($this, ‘wpsa_notify_author_subscribers’), 10, 3);
and then later in
public function wpsa_notify_author_subscribers($new_status, $old_status, $post)
{
// $targetStatus is e.g. ‘private’
if ($new_status != $targetStatus || $old_status == $targetStatus)
{
return;
}
P.S. sorry about poor formatting, this commenting form seems to drop all the whitespaces.
]]>There seems to be an issue in classes\wpsa_template.php, line 29
It has to be changed from
include_once $file;
to
include $file;
Otherwise only the first subscriber get the mail since the renderTemplate() call produces empty message body for all subscribers except the first one.
Thanks!
]]>Is there any way to add a subscribe button to the top of the Author’s Archive page?
]]>Hello,
We installed the plug in on our school’s website to subscribe to teacher posts. It worked for a couple of days, but suddenly stopped. The last email I received was on October 1st. The volume wasn’t high enough to max out any limits via our Host Gator account.

]]>Hello,
I have an e-commerce site and my users are of Seller type and not authors. I want users to be able to subscribe to each other and follow each other’s activity. I used your plugin, placed the shortcode in my user dashboard file so that every user can see their subscriptions. But the message ‘Sorry,no posts found from your favourite authors.’ is always on display on every page. I even tried changing one of my user’s role to Author but it didn’t work. Do I need to change author to seller in all the php files of your plugin? Can you please help?
]]>[favourite-author-posts] on the page works on TwentyThirteen and TwentyForteen theme but not on my custom theme. Is there any data attribute or something in the custom theme in order to display Favorited author list?
Another question, if there a php code that I can use to display “Subscribe” button?
Thank you for the great plug-in!
]]>Hello there!
I tried using the plugin on my website. It doesn’t show any problems, but it can not send any mails. It simply ends gracefully and the e-mail is never sent.
Can the problem possibly be that I don’t have php_mail() configure and use SMTP instead?
Thanks,

Is there a way for the form field’s ajax function to wait until the user is finished typing? It keeps clearing the form field.
]]>On hover, I see author bio and subscribe field and subscribe button. When entering any email, it says “Please enter valid email!” although the email addresses I enter are all valid. Please help!
]]>I have been using your plugin before the 1.5 update, and I noticed that it is not user friendly to make the subscribe button hidden by a on hover floating bio, because I am using a responsive theme that is usable on mobil phones and tablets, is there anyway to get the subscribe button back without the floating bio?

$subscribers = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT author_id FROM $table_name WHERE subscriber_id = %d AND status = %s", $post_author_id, 'active'));
foreach ($subscribers as $subscriber) {
$a = array($subscribers[0]->author_id);
array_push($a, $subscriber->author_id);
}
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
//$wp_query = new WP_Query(array('author__in' => $a, 'paged' => $paged));
$wp_query = new WP_Query(array(

);
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>Only two authors’ posts show up if I subscribe more than two authors.
Here’s my site: https://itransl.com/subscription/
Can you tell me why?
]]>From the FAQ:
Can Guest user subcribe author post ?
No, Current version of the plugin will not support for guest user
It would be great if non-subscribers could subscribe – enter their email and get a note whenever their favorite author posts something new.
The email would need an unsubscribe link…
I’ve been looking but haven’t found a plugin that will do this – an unfilled niche for sure! Maybe in a future version?
