Newsletter plugin

https://watershedstudio.com/portfolio/software/wp-email-notification.html

is that what you’re looking for… sort of?

Thanks for the link! It’s sort of what I would like… I had a glance and it appears they sign up so that if one posts into any category it sends them notification. Do you know if you can limit it so it only sends an email out when one posts to a single category only?

I’m honestly not that familiar with it – sorry! ??
Maybe check with the plugin creator… https://watershedstudio.com/portfolio/software/wp-email-notification.html#help and see if they can let you know the logistics of it all

Hi,
I’m looking for a newsletter plugin too.
But my purpose is a little bit different :
I want users who wants to comment, optionally, subscribe to my newsletter.
I don’t need any notifications, =)

vpat thanks so much for that link!

Hey

I was wondering if it was possible to tie this in with a category post.

That is, when one posts to a certain category (like “Newsletter”) then it emails all the subscribed people the content of that post.

Oh there is a notify button! Awesome! I’ll just use that then.

Just wondering about subscriptions… By law, don’t you have to include an “unsubscribe” link in all emails sent out by newsletter?

The notify button only comes up when I edit a post and ot when I write one from scratch. Also when I send an email out it says “Result of the mailing” but nothing after that, just a WordPress logo.

I had a look at the plugin and modified email_users_post_notification_block.inc

if (( isset( $_GET[‘post’] ) ) || $action = ‘post’) {

This is a little workaround that gets the button there but I am not sure if it works quite well enough.

I would like to make it so that when you push the Notify button it publishes it as well. I wonder how that could be integrated.

music_man : better post your comments on the blog entry, because I get notified of new comments there, unlike on this thread.

0. “By Law”, I really have no idea. However, you can change the template of the emails easily in the options/email users tab of your administration panel.

1. Did you manage to send an email ? At least you should be able to send an email to the administrators (that is the group that contains at least 1 user: you)

2. Your workaround should show the button, but as your post is not yet saved I think this won’t work. That was the reason to get the button only when you edit the post. Logic is: publish you post first, and then notify users from the manage->edit post panel.

Solution would be to first save the post (publish) and then redirect to the email page. Unfortunatly I don’t really have time to implement this but your modification can be included in the plugin and credited if you manage to make it.
