BTY – I downloaded “DM Confirm Email” and purchased the pro version of “WordPress Mass Email” from Thirteen Web Solution I liked it so much. They both work fine!

I also added a Jetpack “Subscribe” button to my pages.

I was also having too many “unreal” people added to Users > All Users in my dashboard. The difference between a “User” and a Subscriber or Follower is described here:

Thx for your answers and help!

No thank you, we both came to the same conclusion.

The subject is answered/closed.

Never mind . . . I had to enter enough text in a monthly archive post so that the words:

showed up.

Then I press that and the pictured appear ??

Hello all, I’m bumping this post as it hasn’t been answered in 5 days.

The questions are right above this post and please, I’ve already been sent the generic WordPress plugin link and while that’s helpful, I’m looking for a couple of people with recommendations.

Specific names of useful plugins that allow email confirmation of WordPress Subscribers and/or bulk emailing to WordPress Subscribers and any experience (bad or good) you’ve had with this plugin is what I’m looking for.

For instance, there is a “Mass Email To users” plugin that got a four star rating. I don’t think you can actually read any reviews. Does anyone know if this sends email BCC?
——
For “email confirmation” there are some interesting choices:
DM Confirm Email
ThreeWP Email Reflector
Email newsletter

Some use an activation link and some require subscribers to confirm their email address.

Anyone have a preference?

Thank you all ahead of time!!!

Thx esmi,

I wasn’t sure if Profile Builder or Cozmos was part of WordPress or not. I will direct my questions re: Profile Builder directly to their website later.

In the meantime, can you (or anyone else) answer my original questions?

They original thread was (with questions at the bottom):
I have four pages of Subsribers and I’m pretty sure some are phishers and spam email addresses.

I’d like to email them all and ask them to reply within 5 days or I’d delete them.

I started copying and pasting each email address since the only bulk actions I see on my Blog site is Delete.

1) Is this a wise thing to do from my personnel email address (bulk email Subscribers when some may be phishers or spammers)?
2) Is there a plugin to make bulk email possible directly from a WordPress page?
3) is there a WordPress plugin that allows email confirmation of Subscribers?
4) is there a WordPress plugin that allows Captchas of Subscribers?
5) If so, where can I find it? What is/are the name(s) of the plugin(s)? Is there a direct link?

Thx again semi!

Hi adispiac,

Looks good, Profile Builder . . . though the difference between the Hobbyist version ($60) and the Pro Version ($140) seems steep.

I clicked on the “Buy a Lifetime License” to see the pricing and that is $260.00.

And Updates and Support are offered just one year so if the Lifetime License isn’t purchased, a year later someone may be dishing out another $140 for the Pro Version if it doesn’t work with an upgrade in the most recent version of WordPress.

Is this true/possible, or does Profile Builder ever need to be upgraded to work with a newer version of WordPress or a new OS?

A few questions:
1) Do you work for Cozmos?
2) Is there any free trial?
3) Are there free (or a around the price of the Hobbyist version) apps or plugins that allow email verification and bulk emailing?
4) Which feature in Profile Builder allows us to bulk email our Subscribers, or is it included at all?

Thank you adispiac, it seems like a great product.

Hey, thank you both theotherlebowski and Christine!!!

I’ll check this all out tomorrow and may call Bluehost to help me . . . awesome ??

Oh, by the way, I was wondering what the difference was between “Trashing” and “Spamming” unwanted comments.

“Trash” deletes them of course.

What does “Spam” do?

In my mail program it moves them to a “Spam” folder which I can check to make sure they are truly spam.

In WordPress it seems to just delete them?

Thx again James, very kind of you.

Not to trouble you too much but I’ve been to each of those links and that’s how a learned to build my pages/blogsite. Each of the links above has maybe 60-100 links.

Not that I’m lazy, but is there anyone out there that can cite a specific link to making an archive page similar to the one here:
https://www.sibeliusblog.com/archives/

(In the meantime I’m continue reading.)
======
I am looking at my “Comment” page and it reads:
“Show all comment types” and I have approved several comments.

Where is the toggle switch to turn on “enable commenting (threads) for posts or pages”.

Thanks James and everyone else ??

Thx James,

I believe you are right, the post in the June archives is the default post that came with the WordPress installation.

1) So what are “Archives”?

I thought it would show the music material I put on each page month by month, but I’m mistaken.

Posts to me are a message containing threads.

2) How do I get the Archive Page to work as in this Blog Site?
https://www.sibeliusblog.com/archives/

3) Can I read up on it?

4) If so, where?

Thank you ??

OK, just so people know, I deleted AdobePDFViewer plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI plugin from Mac Hard Drive/Library/Internet Plugins and can view everything in Firefox and not Safari.

I’ll quit while I’m ahead and work in Firefox on my site for now.

PS – Firefox offered to disable the Adobe plugins (I believe, but I didn’t take a screenshot of it as I’m tired) and things viewed fine. I re-loaded the two plugins mentioned above as I thought they may have been corrupted and Firefox did NOT show PDFs on my page. I deleted them and Firefox shows things correctly again.

There is some issue between Safari and some plugins ??

I read here that there may be an issue with Acrobat Adobe Reader and Safari.

I’d tried trashing AdobePDFViewer plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI plugin and quitting and re-starting Safari and no luck.

I tried downloading new versions of AdobePDFViewer plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI from here and no luck:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3728563?start=15&tstart=0

A can right-click a link on my blog site and “Open Link in New Window/Tab” and view correctly.

A can view my blog site perfectly well in Firefox.

It seems like Safari and WordPress or Bluehost are not working well together!

If any other Mac users have any suggestions, please let me know.

Hi Christine,

I’m on vacation in Narrowsburg from NYC so it took me a while to find this page and type my password, etc.

The link is:
https://www.richievitaleblog.com/
and the PDF’s are showing now.

When I get home, I’ll see if it’s a local problem in my computer or I had read that www.remarpro.com was having problems with PDF’s.

I’ll report back by Sunday and thank you for your help ; )

It just occurred to me that the Page that my site goes to (it says “Hello world! and “Monthly Archives: June 2012” above that) when I select the month in the “Select Month” pulldown menu at the bottom of any page” might be a special page created for me and I should just Edit it and delete to extraneous “Archives Page” I created.

There are no archives on that page ’cause the site is brand new.

Could this be?

Signed, curiously optimistic ??
==========
PS – I now see that the pull down menu for Archives went to the same page and the “Archives Link” in my right-side bar so I removed it.

I think I should delete the extra Archives Page I entered today and that when I hit the right-side Archives Link put in by Jetpack it brings me to the proper page.

Could this be correct?
