After further testing, I have determined that this problem occurs when the W3 Total Cache plugin is enabled and database caching is turned on. To solve the problem, go to the W3 Total Cache settings panel and under advanced settings for Database Cache add “wp_newsman_” to the list of “Ignored Query Stems.”

Hope that can save somebody a little time. Cheers.

I just did a brand new install of version 1.4.5 and am having the same problem. I created a list with only two subscribers to do a test run before upgrading to Pro. It sent over one hundred copies of the message to the two subscribers in a matter of seconds until I clicked “stop”. I tried all different sending methods and it still did the same thing.

I tested again with some plugins disabled to check for conflicts. I updated the settings and turned on throttling to 10 messages per minute to prevent it from going crazy, but it still sent 119 messages in a matter of seconds. This is a dedicated server using SendGrid SMTP for mail.

Have you made any further progress on this issue?

Thanks.

Just use the plugin called WP Mail SMTP. It reconfigures the wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail() and creates an options page to manage the settings. It works fine with SendGrid or any other SMTP relay.

I was having the same issue until I realized I was using the account username instead of the API username. Once I updated the wp-config with the correct info everything works fine in 3.4.2.

To get your correct bit.ly API username and API Key, go here: https://support.bitly.com/knowledgebase/articles/76785-how-do-i-find-my-api-key-

Add this to functions.php in your theme file.

// Require an attachment upload
function my_add_post_validation($errors) {
 if ( empty($_POST['wpuf_attach_title']) ) {
  $errors[] = __( 'Photo upload is required', 'wpuf' );
 }
 return $errors;
}
add_filter( 'wpuf_add_post_validation', 'my_add_post_validation');

If you want to require a featured image instead of an attachment, use $_POST[‘wpuf_featured_img’].

If you want to redirect after post submission, put this in your theme file:

// Change redirect page after submission
function my_after_post_redirect() {
 $URI = 'https://www.mydomain.com/my-custom-redirect/';
 return $URI;
}
add_filter('wpuf_after_post_redirect', 'my_after_post_redirect');
