Sorry about that, it wasn’t obvious to me when I first read the code.

I created a plugin and will be testing today.

Quick question, what causes this new stand alone plugin to run? Does the order in which it runs matter?

Thats great, thank you.

I’m wondering now if the more elegant and useful solution is to simply not send emails to users who are “subscribers.” Because a user may possibly change roles, it would be nice to preserve their settings. Also, I think it might be easier to setup a conditional on the send function which checks a users role and ignores “subscribers.”

That would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time either way.

That manual unsubscribing is what I am trying to avoid. At some point it is going to be too much to handle manually. We are growing.

I simply removed those options from the user interface. Setting the default to excerpt and then removing the option for users to change it is fairly simply to do.

I have not found another plugin but I am open to suggestions if anyone has one.

“2. By level, I’m presuming you mean WordPress role – like Subscribers, Contributor etc. No, you can’t.”

Has anyone ever requested something like this before? I’d love to have it as an option but, only if its generally useful to others.

Has anyone EVER requested anything like this? I have been reading old posts in the forums for about an hour now.

Its not that I want the opposite, its that I run a members only website.

I think it would be awesome if the plugin allowed you to specify what role level was able to receive email notifications. Do you think the ability to set a minimum role, excluded role, or explicit role is something that makes sense for your plugin in general? I’m open to the most flexible/usable solution for everyone and would be happy to donate or upgrade to a pro version.

Here is my specific situation… maybe it lends itself to a more generally usable enhancement… I have people who pay to be members and I want these members to receive emails but, when they cancel their membership they are demoted to the “subscribers” role. Since we do not allow public registrations/subscriptions, our members with a custom role are the only people who can receive email alerts but, when they cancel and become subscribers, they continue to get email alerts even though they are no longer members because the “subscriber” role allows them continued access to your plugin.

If we could specify a role to receive updates or exclude roles from receiving updates, that would be awesome.

I know my situation is limited to those with members only websites but, this would likely be useful for people who want to allow varying options for varying role levels. For example, giving contributors/authors the added perk of receiving updates for multi author websites.

Sorry, I know that’s a lot to read but, I’d love to help create an elegant solution.

Is there a better website to post this kind of question on?

Alex, I realize I am whining. Can I ask, are there plans to add any of the lost features back in future versions?

Same problem here. I dont like the interstitial publish to twitter button I see after clicking to publish an article. I’d rather just have it auto post like it used to.

Another problem… the old twitter tools allow us to ignore certain categories. Losing that feature really hurts me. I have a category that I know I never ever want to publish to twitter so, why ask?

Has anyone found a solid alternative?

Is there a better place to post this?

The problem is, I only want to send emails to registered users.

I guess I can default the choice to plain text and then remove the options from the profile page. I just didn’t want to have to hack the plugin every time you update it.

Awesome plugin, keep up the good work.

What really surprises me is that no one else has reported this as an issue.

+1 An update on this would be nice.

Is this still an issue? Can I upgrade to wordpress 3.3.1 and just leave wp super cache as 0.9.9.9? Or is the issue with all versions of wp super cache?
