In case anyone was wondering, I’ve resolved this issue and now have the function using the Subscribe2 function.

My issue was that the category wasn’t registering right away. So, instead of having the front-end post publish immediately, I saved it as a draft first. Then has a second page with an “approve” button where users could review their post and approve it. Once they approved it, the post published and the category registered correctly triggering the Subscribe2 plugin to notify users.

Are you the plugin author? I want to donate for all your help.
You seriously saved my life.

YOU ARE A GENIUS.

Seriously thank you so much. I’ve been trying to figure out a solution to this for weeks.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Hi, thanks for your response and being so helpful.

I figured out that the issue was the form I was using to create the post on the frontend. It wasn’t assigning the category properly.

Thanks again for all your help. Great plugin!

Yep, the post type and taxonomy type are associated with each other.

No categories are compulsory and all categories are excluded. I excluded them all and then subscribe the (registered) user to their preferred category manually.

Posts only have one category.

I disabled all plugins except for the plugins I use to generate the custom post which are CRED and Types. Perhaps Subscribe2 doesn’t work with categories created by the Types plugin?

The email logging plugin showed that other users were getting notifications for the wrong category as well.

I haven’t. I’ll do that and let you know.

I did however try this with several different emails (all owned by me but with newly created WordPress accounts) and experienced the same issue.

Nope, the number of recipients is set to 1.

Ugh, OK just kidding…this isn’t resolved. Just got an email I shouldn’t have. Here’s the code I’m using.

function my_post_types($types) {
    $types[] = 'find-expert';
    return $types;
}
add_filter('s2_post_types', 'my_post_types');

function my_taxonomy_types($taxonomies) {
    $taxonomies[] = 'categoryexpert';
    return $taxonomies;
}
add_filter('s2_taxonomies', 'my_taxonomy_types');

Just marking this as resolved.

Hi,

I ran a few tests and it looks like I’m the only one getting emails for every category. Everyone else works the way it’s supposed to. I must have some setting wrong somewhere.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your quick response.

Ok, so it is possible? I think I have it set up correctly. The only thing is that I’m subscribing registered users to specific categories…instead of having them subscribe themselves.

For some reason I’m still getting emails from all categories instead of only the ones I subscribed to.

Thank you so much!

so easy!
Thank you!

Yes! Great news. It’s working perfectly.

Thanks for an awesome plugin!
