I can confirm what @antraksa is reporting. WP 5.0.3 & Email Subscribers 3.5.18. A post notification that has been working for years based on publishing a post in a given category now does not send. Not even listed in report. However if the post is scheduled then it works as expected. At least this is a work around for now.
This is a working site so unable to disable all the plugins. In case it helps, here is a list used (all up to date):
– Contact Form 7
– Electric Studio Download Counter
– Email Subscribers & Newsletters
– Event Organiser
– NextGEN Gallery
– Official StatCounter Plugin
– Really Simple CAPTCHA
– Yoast SEO
