Require subscriber approval

[Jim]

I would like to make it so anyone that subscribes requires approval. I have not been able to find in AI or documentation how to require any new subscriptions to require approval by the WP admin. Thank you

[Michael]

Hi,

unfortunately at the moment there isn’t a native way to do so. I’ll pass this to our developers for further evaluation.

Thanks for your feedback!

Thank you. Once we get this to work, I would like to see if it can prefill the first,last, and email from the WP user information as they are logged in.

Thanks again Michael

Do you mean prefill in the subscribers data or like tags in a new newsletter?

I actually just wrote a plug-in that I just got working to do this. 🙂
It pre-fills the first name, last name, and email from the user profile information and makes it readonly since we do not want members adding other people which are no subscribers to the newsletter.

[Michael]

Oh that’s nice to hear Jim : ) But again, I didn’t understand if it prefills the subscriber profile for targeting purposes or if you use that in a newsletter template to personalize it.

As for the custom template, yes I was looking at customizing it. It is not a huge deal since I wrote the plug-in to pre-fill the name, surname, and email address. But was wondering why when I have disabled all the plug-ins, except for newsletter, why I still get a 404 when I try to put something in the subscribers, html forms, form 1, and save.

Hello Jim,

I really couldn’t replicate that behaviour so I guess it’s something related to your website or server settings. Send me an email to michael@thenewsletterplugin.com so I can suggest you a way to further troubleshoot this.
