Take a moment to subscribe my newsletter:
Have questions about the Newsletter plugin? Aske here leaving a comment.
Yes, you can always write me, but asking here is better: others can give you suggestions based on their exerience.
My excuses for my bad english but it's the only way I have to communicate with you. Would you suggest
a correction? Leave a comment, thank you!
I'm Stefano Lissa. Ten years ago I was building web sites for pleasure. Blogs didn't exist, web content systems were ugly, hosting was really expensive... and my student pocket was empty.
Would love an option to turn off the “new subscriber” auto email I get. Possible feature request?
come faccio ad aver un form di iscrizione da mettere sotto un’immagine in un box del mio thema? (in linguaggio html)
e che una volta iscritto mi invii alla pagina di iscrizione come il widget..
Hi there, I have installed the Newsletter plug in on two seperate sites. One works fine, on the other I am getting an error message: ‘The requested URL /{unsubscription_confirm_url} was not found on this server’ when clicking on the Unsubscribe link in an email.
Any ideas what’s wrong? we are hoping to launch this week!!
How can I modify the look of the subscription form in the normal version? I am going to remove the table borders and add rounded table behind it… I also would like to align it to center or right instead of left.
Thank you.
Hi again,
I’m having trouble sending my newsletter to a bigger bunch of subscribers (~10.000). I did some simulation and I know the system splits the process into batches – from 90 to 160 receivers. I tried changing the batch limit value to about a 100, assuming that if that’s the actual package size, then that sould be the limit value. Unfotrunately, it seems that I need to click a hundred times the RESTART button in order to get the script going from 1st to the last ID from database, ’cause it seems to stop every 100 emails (and it doesn’t seem to pick up again).
So is it possible to get the process going without manually clicking RESTART button a hundred times??
Or maybe i got it all wrong somehow (you can tell by now English isn’t my first toungue, so it’s quite possible I misunderstood some explanations)? Is BATCH LIMIT value what I think it is (the number of emails that leave server in a single package)?
I’m on v1.5.9, tried setting BATCH LIMIT to different values, but couldn’t spot a difference. Once, during the simulation, I achieved getting 1,600 emails to leave automatically, but then again, it stopped completely:(
So here’s another silly one: while simulation – does one have to click to confirm each package to leave (using the RESTART/RESUME button)? Is it also necessary to do that while sending the real thing? Maybe I could solve that, setting a time value for in-between batches? Is the problem on STMP server? Would using an outside server solve my troubles?
Please help, You can see clearly I’m very confused.
Many thanks in advance.
How do i see my saved emails? I cant seem to find it and its not in the archive?
Hey there!
I want to import over 100 emailadresses from a word dok. They are separated by commas. I have no idea about the names behind the adresses. Is there a way i can import without putting a name after every adress.
I tried to paste the data from the word dok but it says that there is something wrong with the entire row…
please advise!
All the best:
Jonas
How are unsubscribes managed if we export confirmed newsletter registrants and send the email from our own email servers?
Is there a way to add an unsubscribe button to the newsletter sign-up page, so users can subsubscribe or unsubscribe from the same page (rather than clicking on the auto-generated code in the email itself?)
Thanks,
Trevor

Hi,
I was trying to change the default subscription message and automatic email text, but suddently lost everything. All the box went empty even the one I haven’t touch. And I had saved each block seperatly so I don’t know what I’ve done wrong there. I would like to return to the previous state with the exemple text english in the box. I’ve tried to reinstall the plugin from scratch but it remimber all the old settings including my blank text box.
And also, I’ve try to change the files for the fr_FR.php in the plugin.php file but it doesn’t work, still everything in english. My blog installation is in french and run on Thesis theme. And in “newsletter configuration” “always show panel in english” is set to “no”. Before reinstalling the plugin, I also changed “login” in “debug” mode, could it be why it did keep all my old settings???
Thanks,
Marylene
Is there any way I can do something like on template page instead of [ newsletter ] on page?
Is there any way I can do something like
on template page instead of [ newsletter ] on page?Is there any way I can do something like [?php]call_newsletter();[/?] on template page instead of [ newsletter ] on page?
@ Sand yes you can turn any shortcode to a php temlate tag like this :
for more information have a look into this site :
http://michaeldozark.wordpress.com/2010/03/03/turn-any-shortcode-into-a-template-tag/
cheers
Probably it does not work. Short codes may realy to be “inside the loop” and use global variables that are available only inside the loop.
If the value of loop variables are preserved outside the loop (no gants about that), the shortcode dn work thought.
I installed ur Plugin but when i entered the email id to subscribe newsletter the following email is sent to my SPAM folder..plz suggest how to resolve this issue..Thx
Hi Stefano,
i’ve just installed Newsletter pro 2.0.2 on one of my sites (http://www.republiquesolidaire35.fr). Note : i use Exec-PHP plugin to be able to add PHP code in a page.
I can’t success in using custom forms in a WordPress Page :
<?php newsletter_form(1); ?> doesn’t echo any form.
If I use <?php echo newsletter_form(1); ?> the form is echoed and well send inquiries, but doesn’t return to the well sent message but to the ‘can’t find’ page.
Custom forms well work if they are used in a widget (see my site).
Could you help me on how to use a custom form in a page ? Thanks in advance for your reply.
christophe
I have installed your plugin on one of my sites. It does not send out the test e-mail.
When someone subscribes, the admin gets the note but the subscriber gets nothing. Why is that and how can I fix it?
Thanks.
Uso il pugin di base, ottimo!Funziona molto bene.
Avrei solo un problema, avrei la necessità di ottenere un codice XHTML strict valido. Analizzando la pagina di registrazione alla newsletter generata dal plugin, il validatore W3C restituisce l’errore
Validation Output: 1 Error
Line 100, Column 42: document type does not allow element “input” here; missing one of “p”, “h1″, “h2″, “h3″, “h4″, “h5″, “h6″, “div”, “pre”, “address”, “fieldset”, “ins”, “del” start-tag
Ecco qui il report
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.comune.vigano.lc.it/iscriviti-alla-newsletter/#result
Sembra che non sia impostato il tipo di elemento del campo di registrazione (es. indirizzo mail).
Vorrei correggerlo manualmente ma non capisco come fare e quale file generi la pagina in questione.
Ciao e grazie
Hi everybody!
Where do I find all stored data of the Newsletter Plugin?
I want to delete it all to reinstall the Plugin anew.
I found the MySQL databases “wp_newsletter” and “wp_newsletter_profiles”, but after deleting them and reinstalling the newsletter Plugin there was still all the data I’ve had put in the Subscription-Panel before.
Hope someone can help me!
Best regards,
Witteknd
Hi,
I would like to use your newsletter plugin. Is there also a German guide? My English is not good and I did not understand the following:
- What does
Showed when the user follow the confirmation URL sent to him with previous email settings or if signed up directly with no double opt-in process.
Tags: (name) the user name;) (email for the user email;) (token the subscriber unique token
- Which means “token” and for what I need it?
- How does the function () unsubscription_url?
For a detailed and if possible German instruction manual, I would be very grateful.
Greetings
Sven Frank
This may not be the answer, which I expected, it reads very well;)
I have since tried some and many of my questions answered by it.
but a manual in German language would be fine even ne sache. Thank you for the nice plugin. A small donation, I’ll do yet.
Greetings, Sven
how works the unsubscribe link ? in the newsletter it displays only “newsletter?na=u&ni=&nt=FAKETOKEN”
regards
alex
@ Alecs : you have probably forgotten to indicate the URL of Newsletter Page (where is shortcode [newsletter] in the configuration page of Newsletter.
thanks christophe,
very.. good … the url works… my mistake, but shouldnt there be a/the user id instead the faketoken to send with ? it doesnt displays the user id in the newsletter only “see posting above”
regards
alex
ok… the token doesnt works in test mode
url is missing host information so its going to spam folder. .which file i have to update ..kindly answer plz
Hi Stefano, is it possible the let the pages ‘welcome’ and ‘unsubscription’ appear in a different wordpress page than where the subscription form ist located? In my recent project the subscription form appears via iframe within a jQuery sliding panel. This way of implementation requires complete different css styles for the subscription form than for the rest of the site, but both above mentioned sites have to appear in the web site general styling. Many thanks, Carsten
Hi Stefano.
I get a fatal error when trying to “Resend welcome” email to a subscriber with Newsletter Pro v2.0.2 :
Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /homez.xxx/xxxxxx/www/wp-content/plugins/newsletter-pro/manage.php on line 60
of course, the welcome mail isn’t resent.
Any idea about that ?
fixed on new version on downloads area
molte grazie.
… and congratulations for the new look of your Blog. Very classious !
Ciao, versione professionale non funziona. Una volta iscritto si viene indirizzati in una pagina che non esiste e quindi da errore! Mi potresti spiegare come si può inserire il modulo HTML creato, in una pagina? Grazie. Paolo
2 questions:
1. We’ve upgraded to the Newsletter Pro so that we can be able to add additional fields to our subscription forms so that we can get cell phone numbers for texting, and social network links for sharing, but we can’t see where these values are being saved so we can use them, and..
2. On the Subscription page, the code {newsletter_url} is vague as to what we are suppose to put in there, because everything just kicks back to pages not found. Here’s our subscription page:
http://www.fanaticalfoodies.com/newsletter/
profile fields are saved on databse you can see it on export panel. the tag newsletter_url should used as is, it’s a tag and it will be replaced by Nessletter on form generation
OK, we’ve got the form working and the custom field data being saved to the Profile section for subscribers, but now the big questions is: how do we get the Successful Subscription page to come up automatically instead of them just being sent back to the original form?
Hi,
If I want to delete all my subscribers, how can I do that?
Thanks!
Matt
I am trying to add the subscribe box on the front page for visability reasons. I can get it to go to a page that says to check email but then when the user clicks to verify it takes them back to the same page. How can I fix this?
Also when I go to look at my subscriber list it only says the number of subscribers with no other info.
I’ve installed your plug, it’s great!
I only have one little problem… I’m testing it and the confirmation message emails succesfully. But the confirmation link is not working quite well, I keep getting ‘Failed to verify your email.’ message.
What could be worng?
please help!
Is Newsletter compatible with WP multisite configuration. I can not get it to work with my first network blog.
Hi
I’m using this plugin on our website but subscriptions, notifications etc are sent to the admin email adres for the site and not the address I put in at the “subscription” part of the plugin. Where do I specify which email address should be used for updates, subscription notifications etc?
Any one in the group kindly help me —I successfully installed the newsletter plug-in but the only problem is that the mails are getting into the spam folder rather than going into the INBOX of a person, kindly suggest the reason of this happening.
——HELP PLEASE—————-
hi, first of all, thanks for your plugin, it’s absolutely what i was looking for..
i’d like to translate the fields in the sidebar inscription widget from english to french, and really don’t know where to look at. thansk to firebug, i’ve seen that i need to change this string :
<input type="text" onblur="if (this.value=='') this.value=this.defaultValue" onclick="if (this.defaultValue==this.value) this.value=''" name=”ne”>
but i can’t find it anywhere.
thanks in advance for your answer.
the “export” function shows unconfirmed subscribers. is there an option to just export confirmed subscribers?
