    From the plugin description I think this will do what I need, which is, allow users to get a notification email when I publish a new post with a particular category (in this case, when I announce a New Product). However, on my test site I haven’t found any place to create a new Group or control what that group does. How do I create a new Subscriber Group? And how do I set the category associated with that Group?

    @foxwander,

    Email Subscribers Advanced Form is an add-on of Email Subscribers. You would need Email Subscribers for this first.

    And you can create groups via Email Subscribers Advanced Form or via Subscribers during addition of new subscriber.

    Thank you for the prompt response. It’s nice to see a plugin creator that’s is so attentive to user support.

    I know Email Subscribers Advanced Form is an add-on. I have the Email Subscribers plugin as well. With both plugins installed and activated I see the new “Advanced Form” tab that was added to Email Subscribers in my WP Admin pages and there are several “Group” options that have been added to other Email Subscriber tabs (such as the Subscribers, Notification, and Send Email tabs).

    Using the Advanced Form tab I created a new form and under “Enter GROUP name to display (coma separated value)” I add a new Group called “Test”, so the box now reads “Public, Test” then I clicked submit. I added the shortcode for my new Form to a test page and see that it appears as it should with Public and Test as options under “Interested Groups”. However that is the only place my new “Test” group appears.

    None of the new Group form fields or drop-downs show my Test group as an available option- “Public” is the only group available in the Email Subscribers admin area. So again I’m asking, how EXACTLY do I create a Group? How do I control what a Group does when it is created? I see when Editing a Notification there is of section for Post Categories with checkboxes. Since that’s the only place where I seem to be able to assign categories to a Group I have to assume that’s where I control what a Group does but, as I said, the “Test” Group I created above doesn’t appear as an option in the Subscribers Group drop-down when i tried to create a new Notification. The only group listed is “Public”.

    This seems like it would be a great plugin but the lack of documentation on how to do anything with it is very frustrating. Please help me learn how to use your plugin.

    @foxwander,

    The ‘Test’ group will appear under Notification menu (or Subscribers menu) only when a subscriber has subscribed to ‘Test’ group once. Try subscribing your email address once in Test group and then you’ll see it appear in admin area.

    Ya, I can see it is difficult to setup without documentation. We are currently working on documentation and it should be ready soon.

    Sorry forgot to respond back to this. Your suggestion worked. Subscribing with my test email made everything appear as it should. I was then able to customize responses and control the categories attached to the Group. Looking forward to the updated documentation- hopefully it will make everything clearer and help people get more out of this plugin. Thanks.
