    Hi all,

    This is a great plugin with 1 big problem. Anyone can subscribe someone else email which make the innocent site look spammy and evil and results in fake subscribers.

    What is required is a confirmation email to be sent at the time of subscribing. That email would contain a link that the user has to click on in order to prove they control that email address and confirm the subscription.

    Most subscribe to comments plugins do have this. If this could be added I would give the plugin 5 stars ??

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thank you. This plugin doesn’t currently have a double opt-in feature because one of the purposes of this (lightweight) plugin was to eliminate that middle step. But if more people need this (or are in a country that requires double opt-in), I will definitely add it. In the mean time, see this for how to stay compliant and not look spammy.
