StefanoKeymaster
Hi, thank you for reporting. Translations of the free Newsletter plugin, are managed on translate.wordpress.org by the community, I check if I can submit your correction.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the welcome email is sent only on confirmation. Are ALL welcome emails sent immediately or only when you test it? A possible problem could be antivirus softwares activating the link inside the activation email.
StefanoKeymasterHi, all older versions are available on WP.org, on the plugin page (select the advanced view from the right side menu).
StefanoKeymasterHi, it can be triggered via HTTP, not problems usually, just set the corn call to https://yoursite.com/wp-cron.php.
Here we collected some tips: https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/troubleshooting/newsletter-delivery-engine/
StefanoKeymasterHi, on our “System” panel there should be some information about the “scheduler” and the “delivery” process, can you check for them?
To which value is set the delivery speed on main Newsletter settings?StefanoKeymasterOk! 🙂
StefanoKeymasterHi you probably have an object cache plugin which is not refreshing the cache options. Try to deactivate the newsletter plugin removing the folder an purge the object cache. Then reinstall the plugin.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the custom email is set on Newsletter main settings and/or on the single newsletter? I’m trying to understand which config. is not pick up, it seems a bug.
StefanoKeymasterUhm, another check: newsletters can have custom email and name for the sender, could be your newsletters have that option active?
StefanoKeymasterHi, you mentioned an SMTP provider, are you using a plugin to connect the blog to the SMTP? When sending in “test mode”, do you mean sending a test from the System panels?
StefanoKeymasterCiao, mi scuso per il ritardo ma la richiesta era finita in spam. Prova ad aggiornare anche l’addon delle API all’ultima versione, se l’errore persiste, bisogna trovare il dettaglio dell’error 500 negli error logs del server per capirne l’origine.
Grazie.
StefanoKeymasterHi, it should be fixed on latest version.
Thank you for reporting!StefanoKeymasterHi, the welcome email can be disabled (see subscription/messages panel). About the last email, I don’t know how it is generated, could you check who sends it?
StefanoKeymasterHi, check if you have version 7.8.7: it should not present that problem.
StefanoKeymasterHi, I can see it on thunderbird and gmail and outlook mobile. But I’m looking at a forwarded email, can you send a real test from your site to our address. You should even send a test (to us and yourself) from the System/Delivery panel.
Thank you!
StefanoKeymasterHi, we’re looking at it, just a question: what’s broken is the full report produced by the Reports Addon? Is so, which version are you running of that addon?
When the page shows ugly, what about if you try a forced reload using, for example CTRL-R or CTRL-F5?
StefanoKeymasterHi it should be fixed on the latest versions.
StefanoKeymasterHi, thank you for reporting, I’ve forwarded the bug to our devs.
StefanoKeymasterHi, please send a test email to test @ thenewsletterplugin.com so I can check how the header is added.
Thank you.StefanoKeymasterHi, the problem should be fixed on the latest addon version. Save the Newsletter main options to reset the version cache if you don’t see the update notice.
StefanoKeymasterHi, thank you for reporting, devs are already checking it.
StefanoKeymasterOk, disable the tracking of that plugin, when enable they, we don’t know why, change the encoding declared messing up the messages.
June 19, 2023 at 12:39 pm in reply to: Body encoding changes when nl subject contains umlaut #303002StefanoKeymasterHi, are you using an SMTP plugin? WP SMTP Pro?
StefanoKeymasterHi, which version of the amazon ses addon are you running? It sounds like it is a very old version since that code dependency has been removed time ago.
Thank you, Stefano.
StefanoKeymasterHi, please, try to save the Subscription/Custom fields options panel, and le me know if the error is still present.
June 13, 2023 at 4:10 pm in reply to: Undefined Array Key and Header Modification Warnings in ‘Subscription.php #302737StefanoKeymasterHi, try to go to Subscription/Custom Fields and save the options in that panel, even if empty.
Meanwhile we check why it is happening, since that value should be initialized.
You should even check if your site is in debug mode looking into the file wp-config.php for a define(‘WP_DDBUG’, true) and set it to false, otherwise warnings are exposed to users.StefanoKeymasterCan you find the full error report in your error logs? This way we can identify the source of the error.
StefanoKeymasterHi, if the error is in your custom code, check if you have an “include” for NewsletterControls and change it to “include_once”, probably this is the problem.
StefanoKeymasterHi, no, that is not possible.
StefanoKeymasterHi, you’re right, we’re fixing it right now.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the newsletter page should already be there, but if not, just go to the main setting of the plugin and where you can set wat page to use as dedicated page, you have a button to create one.
Of course you can create the page yourself, is just a regular WP page, where in the content you should add just [newsletter].StefanoKeymasterThank you very much, I’ll add the fix today on version 7.8.4.
StefanoKeymasterHi, save the Newsletter main options and check if there is a notice to update the API Addon to version 2.3.0 which addresses the problem.
StefanoKeymasterHi, it is a regular WP page you should see it listed on the “Pages” panel. You can change the title and the URLs. Be only sure to keep as content the [newsletter] shortcode.
StefanoKeymasterHi, thank you for reporting the problem, I’ve forwarded it to our devs. Anyway, the plugin is preconfigured, even if the wizard does not work, you can use it and navigate the settings panel for specific options.
StefanoKeymasterHi, addons continue to work, the expired license does not block them. Of course compatibility problems (wth WP, Newsletter new versions and so on) could appear in the future.
About mail delivery, that is strictly part of the core, it does not depend on addons or licenses.
StefanoKeymasterHi, is that a newsletter based on theold theme system? If so, we’re aware of a bug and the fix is ready, it will be released in a few hours.
StefanoKeymasterHi, if you’re a customer you should submit a ticket so the right person takes care of it. Thank you.
StefanoKeymasterHi, could you send a test to test @ thenewsletterplugin . com or share a screenshot?
StefanoKeymasterHi, you can use the CSS adding some rules to your theme’s CSS or in the main settings panel:
https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/subscription/subscription-forms-style/
StefanoKeymasterHi, the import uses a generic wp-provided function to validate, formally, an email. Email with non existent TLDs cannot be recognized since the validator has not a list of valid TLDs.
StefanoKeymasterHi, that is the standard HTML 5 validator, for a more strict validation you should add some javascript. You could add to the field a pattern, to validate the input with a regular expression:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#pattern
Anyway, remember that subscribers usually do not enter a wrong email address, it should not be a real problem.
The read problem is when the mistype the address, for example something @ gnail.com or something @ gamil.com… 🙂
StefanoKeymasterGender and crountry should be available in the fields mapping on the second step of the import procedure.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the plugin could stop the sending batch prematurely (but without loosing any contact) is there are timeout problems.
You can enebale the logging from the main settings panel. Setting the level to “debug” the logger writes tons of information about the delivery process.June 1, 2023 at 7:41 pm in reply to: How to apply a correction to an already sent newsletter ? #301935StefanoKeymasterHi, the only way is to change it at database level. You can even try to change, into the database, the newsletter status from sent to paused, change it from the editor and ten set it to sent once again.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the plugin does not check the content of the email, so it’s probably the provider filtering it. Even wp mail smtp, I believe, ignore the content.
The plugin does not provide a forward functionality, but why you copied an email from Gmail into Newsletter? To create a newsletter? Gmail changes deeply the email content to be correctly (and safely) displayed in a browser, hence the content is not good to create a newsletter.
StefanoKeymasterHi, could you kindly submit the request in English? Thank you.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the plugin sends an email only to the address input in the form, you should check if the theme is setting as BCC someone else, for sure the plugin do not send the confirmation/welcome email to other addresses.
If you can look at the email received by the author of the listing you should able to see if he receive it as BCC or as the main recipient of the message.
StefanoKeymasterHi, try to send yourself a test from the System/Delivery page. Do you see one of the two picture included in the email? And on what device you’re notable to see the pictures?
StefanoKeymasterHi, it happens since we’re not able to track, tight now, the bounce to a single newsletter.
StefanoKeymasterCiao, bisogna impostare per questi contatti una lista “speciale” che, in spedizione, viene utilizzata per escluderli.
StefanoKeymasterHi, are you so kind to resend the request in English? Thank you!
StefanoKeymasterHi, the titles generated by the “posts” block? They have not an alignment option right now.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the unsubscribe link should open the dedicated page configured on the Newsletter main settings. That page should contain only the [newsletter] shortcode. Can you check it?
The reason you see the message in the footer is probably due to the use of the [newsletter] shortcode in a widget, whileyou should use the [newsletter_form] shortcode.
StefanoKeymasterHi, there is a refereed field but it cannot be imported, you should add them to a list and then set the referrer with a database updated.
But you can even import the subscribers assigning them to both a main list and the specific list: lists are not mutually exclusive.May 15, 2023 at 6:36 pm in reply to: Can’t see blocks and settings section once I create an email #301170StefanoKeymasterHi, the autoresponder is not lmited to only one series. Please open a support ticket so we can setup a debug session. It sounds like an incompatibility with other plugin. Could it be you’re creating the autoresponder using the old theme system?
StefanoKeymasterYes, enter the subscribe edit panel and there you can find the creation date.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the form send the data to your homepage with parameter ?na=s. If the page just reload and you see that parameter there is a problem with a caching plugin or like.
About the confirmation URL, try to use a full URL instead of the relative one, but it should no be a problem.StefanoKeymasterHi, it’s the mail server refunsing to accept it. Unluckly even the mail validators and not uniform and that address can “pass” the validation when collected but not the validator of the mail service.
StefanoKeymasterHi, this is rather weird, probably there is another plugin injecting some kind of code in our pages… try to deactivate other plugin and check it again until you find, if possible, the one that is creating the issue.
StefanoKeymasterHi, you should run a query at the database level. Take a list not in use, suppose list number 3.
Run a query to add the list 3 to all *outlook.com addresses in your database:
update wp_newsletter set list_3=1 where email like ‘%@outlook.com’
you can run that query for other addresses, like outlook.fr and so on.
Then when you send a newsletter, you set the targeting to exclude everyone on list 3.
StefanoKeymasterHi, to have support for paid addons, please open a ticket in the support area. For this specific issue, it could be a problem of the theme and the javascript used. Try to set the addon to work with the alternative popup library and see if that changes things.
April 24, 2023 at 7:17 pm in reply to: Already bounced emails still receiving newly sent newsletters #300371StefanoKeymasterHi, no, it is not correct and it is neither possible. When a newsletter is sent, the contacts are extracted always filtering by their status and it must be “confirmed”.
What sometime happens is this: the email is sent to A, A forward to B and B generate a bounce.
What you can try to do is to check the returned email and see if it contains the original message. Using the link to manage the profile, open the profile edit page and check which contact has originally received the email.
One case I saw, the original address was a mailing list forwarding the email to some other addresses (some of them were subscribers as well!).
April 23, 2023 at 10:33 am in reply to: Having trouble sending a newsletter to all subscribers #300305StefanoKeymasterHi, the notice means you selected, on that newsletter targeting, to send the email to not confirmed subscribers, usually you want to send only to confirmed. That option is used to resend a request for activation to who never activated the subscription.
April 21, 2023 at 2:02 pm in reply to: Woocommerce integration — Can you offer multiple lists to subscribe? #300270StefanoKeymasterHi, actually not, it’s not possible to show lists selection on checkout.
April 21, 2023 at 2:01 pm in reply to: using your Newsletter plugin with The Events Calendar on our Wor #300269StefanoKeymasterHi, it’s not possible to selected a timeframe, all future events with the specified number limit are selected right now. A custom block could probably be coded by a coder (is pretty easy) state that the are ways to ask the Events Calendar plugin to filter by dates (otherwise the implementation can be a bit more complicated).
Mailserlite is a mail marketing platform, is not a delivery service, so we have not an addon for them. If they provide an SMTP interface (I don’t think, anyway), you can use an SMTP plugin to send via mailerlite the emails generated by Newsletter.
April 21, 2023 at 1:58 pm in reply to: Copy automated newsletter as template to normal newsletter #300267StefanoKeymasterHi, actually it’s not possible from the admin interface, you should work at database level, but it’s something more technical.
April 21, 2023 at 1:55 pm in reply to: Filtering / targeting newsletter by tag : possible or not ? #300266StefanoKeymasterYes it works this way: when in the template there is a block of posts (with its filters), the block can be configured to “stop” the newsletter generation is there are no new posts (after the last delivery date). So, if no other posts with tag “1000” are added, the generation should be skipped.
Just pay attention to the right configuration of the posts block. The “skip” options are available only when the block is used to create an Automated template.StefanoKeymasterHi, it’s a bug of the version 1.3.8: please save the Newsletter main options and then you should be able to update to version 1.3.9.
Thank you!
StefanoKeymasterHi, please check on the System panel the mean time to send a single email, could be the mail server is very slow. Could be the link to the stats are wrong, check the System/Status and in particular the “Send details” block of data.
April 21, 2023 at 8:22 am in reply to: After resent advanced import, import no longer available #300255StefanoKeymasterHi, it was a bug on version 1.3.8. Please update to version 1.3.9 (saving the main newsletter options refresh the version cache, if the 1.3.9 is not available).
Thank you!
April 21, 2023 at 7:19 am in reply to: After resent advanced import, import no longer available #300220StefanoKeymasterHi, please check if it is present on the admin menu of Newsletter under Subscribers/Advanced import.
Thank you, Stefano.
StefanoKeymasterHi, it’s not clear what is that snippet, we didn’t change our newsletter format, could you share a screenshot of that snippet?
StefanoKeymasterHi, as far as I know, is not possible, at least we do not provide a public version on packagist of that addon.
April 18, 2023 at 9:09 am in reply to: Delivery Service integrations – Do contact limits apply? #300126StefanoKeymasterHi, we do not store the contact on that service, we just use it to send emails, so only the number of email per month/day should apply. Not sure about that, you should ask them.
April 18, 2023 at 9:06 am in reply to: Amazon SES has denied production promotion – Alternatives? #300125StefanoKeymasterHi, you can try to check sendgrid, mailjet, mailersend, mailgun.
StefanoKeymasterHi, you should ask the theme authors, I don’t know how they integrated it. Probably they have a contact/subscription form that adds subscriber into the Newsletter plugin database.
April 15, 2023 at 3:49 pm in reply to: After updating wordpress and plugin to the latest as of today, I have this error #300042StefanoKeymasterHi, from the error it seems the plugin is missing a lot of files, can you reinstall it or check if the wp-content/plugins/newsletter is present?
Could be the plugin folder has been renamed?StefanoKeymasterHi, if you have a license, please open a ticket so you’ll be addressed to the right support person.
If the job is a custom post type, you should used Automated and compse a newsletter with the CPT block, available with the extended composer blocks.April 11, 2023 at 8:01 am in reply to: Wrong sequence of tags and shortcodes processing in welcome message e-mail tpl #299785StefanoKeymasterSorry, I said the wrong thing: the shortcode should be executed per subscriber, are the shortcodes enabled on Newsletter’s main settings? If so and still they’re not executed, it means they’re not registered in the admin context… they would work on a real delivery since the delivery is executed in the “scheduler” context, but the code sample is even more “secure”.
April 11, 2023 at 7:57 am in reply to: Wrong sequence of tags and shortcodes processing in welcome message e-mail tpl #299784StefanoKeymasterHi, that behavior is correct, shortcodes are executed once not per subscriber. But with this little code sample, you can add a filter to get the code executed per subscriber:
https://github.com/TheNewsletterPlugin/newsletter-codesamples/blob/master/subscriber-coupon.php
StefanoKeymasterHi, it’s actually not possible, I’ve forwarded the request to our devs.
Thank you!April 8, 2023 at 9:48 am in reply to: Automated Newsletter Footer in Composer – Unsubscribe Link does not work #299686StefanoKeymasterHi, the dedicated page for the Newsletter plugin, needs to have only the [newsletter] shortcode it is still not integrated with the form designer.
We should deal with that integration on the next release.StefanoKeymasterHi, if you have no errors in the diagnostic panel, it means emails are moved to the delivery service and there something happens.
See this article that explains how the delivery happens in WP.
https://www.satollo.net/how-email-delivery-works-in-wordpress-and-why-it-can-fail
Are you using an SMTP plugin or a delivery addon?StefanoKeymasterHi, the first line needs to be the labels to identify the columns when mapping the data, and it’s not imported.
April 6, 2023 at 7:04 pm in reply to: Newsletter was sent with wrong Language to some subscribers in some cases #299621StefanoKeymasterHi, the emails generated by a designed newsletter are all identical (apart from the personal link to unsubscribe), the plugin never translates or changes the content. I imagine this is happening elsewhere for example by the delivery system you’re using… really I don’t know. Can you share a couple of examples?
Could they have been translated by GMail (which sometimes offers that option?StefanoKeymasterHi, no we do have not a trial version, but we have a 30 days refund policy, no questions asked. There is even an offer running right now.
StefanoKeymasterHi, thank you for reporting, for sure it is an unwanted defect of the new design, probably we miss to include some style rules.
StefanoKeymasterHi, you can use the shortocdes to build a form directly inside a WP page, and all other elements ca be inserted directly with the WP editor (classic or Gutenberg). See the shortcodes documentation here:
https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/subscription/subscription-form-shortcodes/April 6, 2023 at 6:56 pm in reply to: [[newsletter] shortcode only shows email, how can I get the name field as well? #299616StefanoKeymasterHi, you should open the “subscription form fields” panel and set which fields should be visible. Probably on your staging site, the configuration is different the on production.
StefanoKeymasterHi, all emails are basically delivered, since errors are returned with a special message to the email address used to send (or the one set as “return path” (on the Newsletter main settings, for example).
If you receive those messages, you can use our Bounce addon which is able to analyze them. But to have pro-level management of those “errors”, you should use a delivery service.StefanoKeymasterHi, the SMTP addon can be used to connect to any SMTP service, we do not provide a delivery service. Anyway, you can choose from a big number of services, starting from Amazon SES, Mailgun, Mailersend, Mailjet, Sendgrid, and so on. Every one of those services has usually a basic free plan and you can use them from your blog installing an SMTP plugin, like Fluent SMTP.
StefanoKeymasterYes, they are included.
StefanoKeymasterHi, are they not showing on Apple Mail? If one client shows them, it means they’re correctly referred in the email body: probably the provider is blocking some clients. Try to send a test email using the “System/Delivery” test option and if one of the two included images is shown, it means the provider is blocking the loading of the other one (the one shown should be the one served from our servers).
StefanoKeymasterUhm, usually a cache plugin never blocks the wp-cron.php, so probably the provider has not added the cron call correctly.
March 22, 2023 at 11:16 pm in reply to: Single opt-in for repeated subscriptions not working #298184StefanoKeymasterYes, it’s a bug, it should be fixed in the upcoming release. Thank you for reporting.
StefanoKeymasterHi Ursula, that’s weird we never got problems with Amazon SES (we use it and configure it for many customers). Try to select a new region and ask them to get out of the sandbox for that region. Usually you can select the region you prefer, what do you mean they refused due to the “wrong region”?
StefanoKeymasterHi, if you try to send a test email from the System/Delivery page and no errors are shown but the email is not delivered almost surely it’s a problem with your hosting provider and you should contact them.
Let me know the test results, thank you.StefanoKeymasterThank you very much for sharing all those interesting ideas! We’ll try to include what’s possible in next versions.
March 22, 2023 at 11:08 pm in reply to: Style the “Blog Posts” Block in Automated Newsletter #298179StefanoKeymasterHi, you should code a custom block, duplicating the one provided and changing the layout. See how to code a block (it’s pretty easy) here: https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/developers/dev-composer-blocks/
StefanoKeymasterHi, the opt-in mode is present in the subscribe/subscription configuration page (on Newsletter top menu, under List Building).
StefanoKeymasterCiao, no, non abbiamo un “tag” per estrarre il totale.
StefanoKeymasterHi, we support the direct connection to mailjet with our addon, probably you have the option with your provider to use directly mailjet. In this case, there is nothing the plugin should do, since the “switch” to mailjet is made by your provider.
You can send a test email from our System/Delivery page and verify it is delivered to your inbox. Usually, for example with Gmail, the email header report the delivery provider.If you send a test to test @ thenewsletterplugin . com I can check it.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the plugin feedzy-rss-feeds-pro is including the library guzzle which is even part of the amazon SDK we need to include to use amazon ses. We care to activate the library only when we need to use it, probably the feedzy-rss-feeds-pro plugin loads it every time and the two versions conflict.
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done that not to use one of the plugins.StefanoKeymasterHi, the plugin feedzy-rss-feeds-pro is including the library guzzle which is even part of the amazon SDK we need to include to use amazon ses. We care to activate the library only when we need to use it, probably the feedzy-rss-feeds-pro plugin loads it every time and the two versions conflict.
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done that not to use one of the plugins.StefanoKeymasterHi, the block is shown when data is submitted or directly in the browser email field? The problem is actually the validation of IDN domains: they’re valid but it’s required specific code to correctly manage them (and sometimes email services does not accept them).
StefanoKeymasterHi, thank you for sharing. There is an average speed on System pages (usually when one or more newsletters are going out to get an idea of how long it would take). Actually, we probably have not information on a specific newsletter, anyway I’ll check it.
StefanoKeymasterOk, no problem! 🙂
Have a nice day!StefanoKeymasterWill be added on next release. If you want to manually run a query, just run:
update wp_newsletter set status=’C’ where status=’B’StefanoKeymasterIf you reimported them, they get a new ID, so the autoresponder, when it tries to send the email, won’t find the subscriber and skip it.
StefanoKeymasterHi, I’m sorry, but we do not offer custom implementations right now.
Stefano.StefanoKeymasterHi, if you have a local development env. it depends on how you configured it. For example, XAMPP provides a mailing system. If you have a mail service with an SMTP, you can install an SMTP plugin to connect the site with that service.
There are so many ways to set up a dev. env. that is hard to answer… probably is simpler to get a cheap hosting with a real domain where everything is already working.StefanoKeymasterHi, we never tried that plugin and I suspect that is not possible. When getting a product by ID we simply ask WC to get it and we display what is returned: if nothing is shown it means WC is returning an empty content.
StefanoKeymasterUhm, you gave me the idea to simply add the option to select more than one column to that block, actually… should not be a problem. I’ll talk with devs.
StefanoKeymasterHi, have you created the template for your newsletter? There should be a posts block (at least one) configured to get the latest post (when used in the Automated context it has a few more options).
StefanoKeymasterHi, you’re missing all the newsletter plugin tables. Try to deactivate and reactivate it. If the tables are not created it means the database user set in your wp-config.php file has not the “create” permission.
StefanoKeymasterHi, no, we do not support background images. Usually set one via CSS is not enough, you need to use even a table with an old-style background attribute.
March 9, 2023 at 8:46 am in reply to: Statistics differences between Newsletter “Opens” and Amazon SES “Open Rate” #297443StefanoKeymasterHi, we count one open per subscriber or better, how many subscribers of the contacted ones opened the email.
The opening is tracked with an image and the client could load the amazon one and not ours, for example (different domains). We count as an opening even a click, of course.
Counting how many times an email is opened could have some interest, but…StefanoKeymasterHi, could you give us some values to compare? Just to understand what is measured.
March 5, 2023 at 6:53 pm in reply to: How to cancel or stop sending a newsletter that is in progress #296657StefanoKeymasterHi, edit the newsletter an use the pause button to stop it.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the language shown should be relative to the language of your profile as a subscriber: try to check if you have the English language set.
StefanoKeymasterHi, I’ve created a task for devs, thank you!
Possibly you can add a div with a class around the messages editing them on subscription, profile, and cancellation configuration pages.StefanoKeymasterHi, you need to activate the shortcodes on Newsletter’s main settings but pay attention that banners inserted via javascript and not pure images, won’t work on email clients.
StefanoKeymasterIf it is already sent, you need to change it on the database, table wp_newsletter_emails.
StefanoKeymasterYou can run a query:
update wp_newsletter set status=’C’ where status=’B’
StefanoKeymasterHi, the only solution that comes to my mind, not exactly knowing how the system is working, is to use the newsletter_message filter to change the content of the message when it is sent to each subscriber. See the developer section in the documentation area.
The filter is invoked with the message object and the subscriber object. The message can contain a placeholder that can be replaced in the filter implementation.
About the name of a subscriber, it can be referenced with the {name} tag.
Note: we’re talking about subscribers, not wp users.February 28, 2023 at 2:12 pm in reply to: Call subscriber information in other wordpress functions? #296400StefanoKeymasterHi, if you have a subscriber’s ID you can get the full object (matching the table fields wp_newsletter) using Newsletter::instance()- >get_user(subscriber id)
StefanoKeymasterHi, if you’re using the sendinblue mailing list, you probably do not need the Newsletter plugin, since you then should send emails directly from their console (even the welcome email). Our integration with sendinblue is only to send emails via their delivery service.
StefanoKeymasterHi, saving the Newsletter main settings, you should see an update notice for the Woocommerce Addon: the new block has an improved layout (spacing) and the control of the price font. Some elements are generated by wooc directly we’re looking at how to control them.
StefanoKeymasterHi, if you find out which device but particularly on which email client we can try to check the problem. Some old email clients do not use the responsive rules and try to fit a “large” email zooming out.
gmail when used to read emails from non-gmail accounts can ignore the responsive rules, for example.
The newsletter has been created with the composer?StefanoKeymasterNote: using the free text block you need to set the colors of the link directly in the editor, since the global style are not always applied by email clients (for example by gmail when showing emails for a non-google account).
StefanoKeymasterHi, if you use a free text block, be sure to select the text and set the font using the top selectors. When it starts the editor does not apply correctly the styles.
If possible send a test to test@thenewsletterplugin.com so I can check the email source: every paragraph should have its own inline style.February 23, 2023 at 6:39 pm in reply to: Email received but not visible in subscribers list on wordpress #296174StefanoKeymasterHi, be sure in the subscriber list panel there are no filters active.
StefanoKeymasterHi, to use the SMTP you need an SMTP service. Your provider has this service if it provides event the mailboxes for your domain, or it can be bought from Mailgun, Mailjet, Sendgrid, and so on.
About the speed, probably even the SMTP service of your provider performs better than the “native” email capability provided with the simple hosting, you should just try.
To use an SMTP, install an SMTP plugin, like wp mail SMTP: it is more flexible than our SMTP addon, and ALL emails sent by your site are delivered via the configured SMTP.StefanoKeymasterCould be a bot. If you use the double opt in those entries should remain unconfirmed.
StefanoKeymasterThat is a problem. Reimport the same subscribers in update mode and set a new temporary list to them all so you can easily identify them.
Delete those subscribers using the Subscribers/Maintenance panel, filtering by the new temporary list.
Reimport with the correct list.February 22, 2023 at 9:58 pm in reply to: Newsletter Photos not displaying on mobile version #296109StefanoKeymasterHi, the mobile device is an iphone? Can you send yourself a test from the System/Delivery panel of the Newsletter plugin and check if the images are shown?
StefanoKeymasterCiao, non è possibile che un sottoscrittore in stato “unsubscribed” riceva le email, il sistema di spedizione lo filtra in origine. Da cosa avete dedotto questo comportamento? E’ importante per noi capirlo per trovare eventuali problemi.
February 18, 2023 at 6:36 pm in reply to: My problem with Contact Form 7 and send mail at The Newsletter plugin #295926StefanoKeymasterHi, our CF7 integration addon is installed?
StefanoKeymasterThere is not recommended max, it depends on your contents, font size, and so on.
StefanoKeymasterHi, tracking is connected to the subscriber (by its id), so if you change the lists of that subscriber without deleting it, the tracing continues to work. Lists in the Newsletter plugin are not containers but are more like “options” of the subscribers.
StefanoKeymasterThe native ones can generate complex HTML, without online styles (Gutenberg has tons of styles for its native blocks). I think it would be an incredible effort and, the main problem is the maintenance. 🙁
February 18, 2023 at 6:29 pm in reply to: No Matter what I do I get errors trying to set up google as Bounce #295920StefanoKeymasterHi, Google does not allow anymore the use of POP3. You should use a dedicated mailbox provided by your provider and the best choice is to use a mailbox in the same domain as the sender address.
StefanoKeymasterHi, there is not placeholder for that field. Anyway, note that is an unreliable field: the city is computed from the IP address and mobile IP can result in a city hundreds of kilometers away from the subscriber.
We have an internal discussion about removing it. 🙂StefanoKeymasterHi, the addon has not that specific feature.
February 18, 2023 at 6:24 pm in reply to: Can I send different Welcome Message & Welcome Email based on the LIST? #295916StefanoKeymasterActually not, we’re going to add this feature as part of the Forms Designer Addon. Instead of having a custom message per list (since a form can be connected to more lists), the message can be customized per subscriber flow.
StefanoKeymasterHi, we fixed it changing the way the events are extracted.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the number reported in the lists management panel counts even the unsubscribed, unconfirmed, and so on, probably that list has only 2000+ subscribers which are confirmed.
Yes, the number reported should be more clear in the lists panel. Try to check the number on the “subscriber statistics” panel, so we can see if the problem is the subscribers’ status.StefanoKeymasterHi, thank you for reporting, it’s a bug. Please update the addon to version 1.2.2 (save the Newsletter General settings if you do not see the update notice).
If possible, for issues like that one, open a ticket so we can see it immediately and can solve the problem asap.
🙂StefanoKeymasterHi, we need some more details to try to help. How do you determine only 10% of the contacts are processed? When you prepare the email and set the filters, how many contacts are counted?
StefanoKeymasterHi, no the cron service is reserved for customers, anyway, you can use the corn from the panel of your provider, if available, or other corn services as well. Here you can fine some possible solutions: https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/troubleshooting/newsletter-delivery-engine/
StefanoKeymasterYes, here there is the documentation on field names to collect even extra profile fields. Remember to reference the profile by number and to be sure the profile field is defined as “public” to be collected from a form.
https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/subscription/newsletter-forms/
StefanoKeymasterHi, it’s correct, unconfirmed is when a subscriber subscribes but does not complete the subscription activating it (when the double opt-in is active) while unsubscribed is when it asks to not receive newsletters anymore.
Both the unconfirmed and unsubscribed DO NOT receive the newsletter, there is a main filter to avoid that.
When someone clicks the unsubscribe link, it is directed to the dedicated newsletter page the one configured in the Newsletter main settings,a nd that page needs to contain only the [newsletter] shortcode otherwise the messages are not shown correctly.StefanoKeymasterHi, that is a problem with the German translation directly from translate.wordpress.org. Simply, enter the profile configuration panel of Newsletter and delete the double {profile_form} code you should see.
StefanoKeymasterHi, have you a very big list? Could be the server is not able to process it completely.
February 11, 2023 at 6:36 pm in reply to: My problem with Contact Form 7 and send mail at The Newsletter plugin #295241StefanoKeymasterWe have the Contact Form 7 addon to capture the form submission to register the data as subscribers. Or you can write a bit of code to use the CF7 hooks and get the data to be registered into the Newsletter plugin database.
StefanoKeymasterHi, check if the new addon version resolves the problem, please. To see it, save the Newsletter plugin main options and then you should have an update notice for our addon.
Thank you!
StefanoKeymasterWith the collaboration of another customer using the pro version of Events Calendar, we asked for support directly to Tribe to understand why the same code on the free version is ok and on the pro version it is not.
If you want to send a support request to solicit an answer, open a ticket so I can share it with you the support request to send.StefanoKeymasterHi, probably it’s a spam filter on that domain, you should ask them to check the spam folder to see if, at least, the email is received. If not, it is probably dropped. There is not much you can do if they have your domain or sending IP in their blacklist.
You can try to use an SMTP service if your provider gives you the mailboxes for your domain or a delivery service like SendGrid, Amazon SES, Mailgun, …

StefanoKeymasterA note: it could be possible to use the Gutenberg technology and activate specific customized blocks yo build a newsletter (another known plugin seems to work this way ;-).
StefanoKeymasterHi, we evaluated it initially, but Gutenberg was continuously evolving and changing. Anyway, the real problem is this: blocks designed for web pages do not work on emails. Emails need a lot of tables the keep the formatting on every email client, so using Gutenberg means reprocessing all blocks to make the email-ready (if possible, I don’t know).
Not only: all the custom blocks from themes and plugins won’t work on email clients (structure, missing CSS, and so on)… it would be a disaster 🙂StefanoKeymasterHi, the default should not be that long, usually, 20 words are enough. Probably it is 200 characters, or we made a mistake setting the default values.
StefanoKeymasterAn email address can be part of multiple lists, so yes, it is possible. When someone registers with an already present email address, the profile is updated. Having different forms “connected” to different lists can be a way to proceed.
Of course, multiple subscription option must be enabled on the subscription configuration panel.StefanoKeymasterHi, every Automated channel has a button to see the list of sent newsletter and for each you have the stats panel as for regular emails.
StefanoKeymasterWith release 7.6.0 we addressed that problem and tried to “bypass” that false positive of mod_security.
StefanoKeymasterI can confirm we’re already working on a total redesign of the admin side. I don’t know right now how much time we need to make the new design stable, but I hope in mo more than two months.
StefanoKeymasterIt is not “stored” the addons register themself to be used as mailer. Of course, only one is used by Newsletter.
If you want to enable just one, automatically, the best option is to keep only one active at time, using for example wp-cli to deactivate and activate the respective plugins.StefanoKeymasterThe Reports addon has the option to retarget who clicked a link adding them to a list.
StefanoKeymasterYou can set the max speed on Newsletter main settings. It’s not possible to say the max speed you can reach, it depends on how much time is required to send a single email via PHP.
February 2, 2023 at 11:26 am in reply to: Addons The Events Calendar (by Tribe): No new events by now!. #294705StefanoKeymasterHi, it’s the pro version of tribe calendar, we don’t know why it is happening. A few users opened a ticket with them, but no answers by now.
StefanoKeymasterHi, there is no way to control how gmail decides to classify emails. Probably removing the “bulk” from the header can help, but is a way to be classified as spam when many newsletters are sent.
Try to install our addon for office 365 which removes all the headers, maybe it helps.StefanoKeymasterHi,
no, we haven’t a fine control of the access for authors, sorry.January 31, 2023 at 8:14 am in reply to: Leads extension – how do i exclude one page from showing the POPUP #294559StefanoKeymasterHi, actually we do have not an option to limit the popup on specific pages.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the page reloads with blank content could be due to the “mod_security” component of your hosting space, sometimes we experienced that. The mod_security blocks the saving believing that content is a hack attempt (of course it is not).
This week we release an update to try to address that problem.
A note: the mod_security does not block always the saving, it depends on the newsletter content, so that problem can appear randomly.StefanoKeymasterHi, the main plugin, Newsletter, freely available from wp.org, has no license bindings so you can get updated forever from wp.org when we publish them. Commercial addons can be updated for the time related to your license (we have yearly licenses and three years renewal licenses, right now – but it’s subject to change, of course).
All that is clearly stated on the pricing page where is even specified we do not apply for automatic recurring payments, but for any doubts, we are here to support before the purchase (and after, of course!).That is just a commercial choice: there are marketplaces where you get a license valid forever, there are companies that ask for recurring monthly payments, and so on. Maybe we can change in the future by offering a lifetime license, we’ve already discussed that.
Thank you, Stefano.StefanoKeymasterHi, those “report” is a diagnostic report, probably the data cannot be stored or has been deleted. Try to use the reset button to restore the dataset and then it should start to collect delivery stats once again.
StefanoKeymasterHi, I suppose you’re referring to the Automated addon. I can suggest opening a ticket if you’re using that addon.
Anyway the “posts block” has options to use all the articles it finds without filtering by date: it shows them when used in the Automated template configuration panel.StefanoKeymasterThere is not a specific backup option in the plugin (the dataset could be very very large and involves many tables). Here are some directions: https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/developers/backup-recovery/
StefanoKeymasterHi, no, actually that addon can be used only by an administrator.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the free version can be used where you prefer. The license is useful to update the free addons.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the integrations with wp registration and buddypress do not offer a way to add lists on the registration form, and even if those fields are added they won’t be processed.
StefanoKeymasterHi, the premium version is actually a set of plugins that add new functionalities, so you can activate them just in the subsites of interest.
StefanoKeymasterProbably the provider is forcing it to a specific value OR you have an SMTP plugin changing it on outgoing emails. Newsletter always uses the one set inside the main settings or the one set on the single newsletter configuration.
StefanoKeymasterHi, thank you for reporting and for your willingness to fix the translations. They’re managed by the community at translate.wordpress.org, everyone can participate!
StefanoKeymasterHi, that is not possible due to the limitations of email clients.
StefanoKeymasterHi, actually there is not such a feature, sorry.
StefanoKeymasterIt is correct, email clients do not display embedded images base64 encoded.
January 25, 2023 at 9:31 pm in reply to: Creating newsletters based on posts created with DIVI and DIVI Pixel #294299StefanoKeymasterThat is a problem harder to solve. DIVI registers those shortcodes only under some contexts. When the newsletter is generated, those shortcodes are not registered and WP is not able to clean them up.
If they are present in your excerpt, let me know, since we try to cleanup the excerpt of the “posts block” from those shortcodes (not always that works…).StefanoKeymasterHi, no, there is no way to send a newsletter selecting a single subscriber.
StefanoKeymasterHi, no, we do not change the link or the tracking code and they should work. Probably something else is changing the UTM: are you sure they come from links in newsletters? If someone uses your links adding UTM they can scramble your Analytics data, there is no way to protect yourself from those kinds of bad actions (no one can…).
StefanoKeymasterIf the provider has a copy of your site and database (usually they keep a copy for a while), you can ask them to get it and try to restore elsewhere the database.
StefanoKeymasterThe composer has not a “theme”, just some preset with some blocks and colors. Maybe you’re using the old themes?
StefanoKeymasterThis is a block by your provider caused by a false positive of mod_security.
StefanoKeymasterNon è generalmente un problema di requisiti dell’hosting, ma del servizio di spedizione email. Se si usa direttamente quello di chi ospita il sito, va chiesto quali siano i limiti del servizio (normalmente una servizio base è incluso per le normali email inviate dal blog), ma se si devono spedire parecchie email conviene utilizzare un servizio esterno.
StefanoKeymasterHi, probably it is a layout problem when rendered on those devices. The background has been set for the whole newsletter?
StefanoKeymasterHi, that could be a block by Google on your domain or sending address, there no much you can do. Usually, the best solution is to move to an external mailing system, like an SMTP (your hosting provider probably provides even an SMTP server for the email address connected to your domain).
You can connect your blog to that SMTP service using, for example, wp mail smtp, a free plugin.StefanoKeymasterYes, with our wooCommerce addon: https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/woocommerce
StefanoKeymasterAbbiamo una integrazione con the events calendar e events manager che sono due plugin sia in versione free che pro. Per ognuno serve un addon in grado di estrarre gli eventi.
StefanoKeymasterHi,
that kind of alignment (CSS float) does not work on email clients (not in everyone at least) so it should not be used. -
