In my case https://www.werun4all this problem goes away (don’t know if I can call it solved) if I go to WordPress Settings > General and choose for Time-zone “Amsterdam” instead of UTC+2.

The UTC+2 setting was pre-set by our hosting provider STRATO. During summer daylight savings time Amsterdam = UTC+2 but apparently it works different for Postie. Only if I use “Amsterdam” and “Ignore Email date: Yes” the posts-by-email get posted immediately with the time they arrived.

Sorry, I should have reported here that after my original post the same problem emerged with other plugins, on multiple WP blogs I am involved with, at multiple hosting providers. So it is not a MailPoet specific problem.
Something must have changed in a WP update after 4.3 . I have seen several solutions on this and other forums, but none of them is undisputed and my knowledge of Unix server systems is too limited to judge.
A manual download and install of 2.7.1 did work without my settings and newsletters getting lost.

That’s a shame, but thanks for the swift reply. BTW the link in my original post doesn’t work anymore, we just went live.

I can confirm this. It would be better though to have an option on the settings page.

@mailpoet staff: Thanks! That was pretty easy and my first impression is that it works fine.

@valerio Vaz: please publish the steps to disable tracking here, because I cannot get access to support.mailpoet.com as you suggested. The contact form is locked like a fortress!

How can I get in touch? The contact form says “Submit disabled, only Premium Users can use this form!” Even if I lie about the version I’m using.

Hi Guido, it is not an important issue at all. I just came across an article about “Child Themes”. I did not know something like that existed. I’ll read more about that first and will stop messing with your theme. But I’ll tell you what I did untill now:

I removed the hard coded read more div from index.php as you suggested. I had already learned from the “Customizing the Read More” article in the Codex that <?php the_excerpt(); ?> was cutting off posts to 55 words on the front page, so I changed that into:
<?php the_content(); ?>.
Now I had the behavior I am used to in other WordPress sites: full posts on the front page unless I insert a <!–more–> in a post. If I do, I get an excerpt on the front page that ends with a link “(more…)” independent of the language setting (Dashboard > Settings > Language). I have set it to Dutch (nl-NL) and this makes both the WordPress interface and your theme talk Dutch to me. I had already been in your nl-NL.po and abused it to translate “Navigation” to “Inhoud”. I noticed that there is no (more…) in it, but that Read More » translates to Lees Meer », so I changed <?php the_content(); ?> into `<?php the_content(‘Read More »’); ?>
`. But apparently that is not the way it works.

Hmm, I did use backticks, but my code lines are not formatted as such.

Thank you, Guido, that works.
with <?php the_content(); ?>
I get the default link (more…) now if I use the more tag in a post.

I tried to please your translation file by using
<?php the_content('Read More &raquo;'); ?>
but that does not work, it keeps appearing as “Read More ?” if I set the language to Dutch (nl-NL).

I searched around a bit on www.remarpro.com but without any knowledge of PHP I don’t really know what I’m doing:

If I replace <?php the_excerpt(); ?> by `<?php the_content(); ?> in index.php the full post appears on th efront page, but the “read more” links remain.

I found another plugin, featured content which is (if I understand it correctly) Jetpack stripped down to just the featured content functionality. This does not require a wordpress.com account.
However the slider appears on top of the post I tagged as featured, not on top of the front page.

I have chosen another theme for this specific blog, because I want just a single image on top, not a slideshow.

Kaththryn,

Thank you for posting these instructions! I installed and activated Jetpack, but there is still no Featured Content item in Appearance → Customize. What did change is that the preview pane on the right hand is gone. If I click “settings” under Jetpack in the installed plugins list I get an error message: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
On my Dashboard home page there is a green banner yelling “Connect to WordPress.com” “Your Jetpack is almost ready! Connect now to enable features like Stats, Likes, and Social Sharing.” Does this mean I need a WordPress.com account to make the plugin work? If I wanted that, I would not be running my own WordPress site…
