    When users subscribe via Jetpack (i.e. the standard subscription functionality that’s built into the subscribe button/widget that comes with WordPress), the email they receive upon doing so currently prompts them to signup for WordPress once they’ve hit “Confirm.” I’d like them not to be prompted to sign up for WordPress, since it confuses them, and makes them think they need a WordPress account in order to follow the blog. Can anyone help me with this?

    Hi @testpshat,

    Are you referring to when users sign up via the Register link on your login page (as seen in this screenshot)? WordPress Core does not have a subscription feature. That Register link allows folks to sign up as a registered User on your site, which isn’t the same as a subscription.

    I can’t think of a subscription service that would allow someone to follow (or subscribe to) a site without gathering some kind of information from them, as a service like this needs something to send a notification to.

    A final note: since this isn’t related directly to Jetpack, you might find better guidance in the general WordPress forums:

    Thank you! No I don’t mean the Register link. I mean the ability to “follow” the blog (i.e. the “subscribe” feature on that same page – through the “subscribe” button). The same subscribe button appears on the upper lefthand side of my home page.

    When people put in their emails to subscribe, they get an email inviting them to confirm that subscription. When they click that link to confirm, they’re directed to a page that confirms the subscription, but also, that invites them to signup for WordPress generally, and I don’t want that latter invitation to appear, because it confuses my readers – it makes them think that they need to sign up for WordPress in order to subscribe.
