Hi, we can add an option to hide the message, but you cannot send a newsletter manually, the scheduler is needed.
Stefano.
When you’re in the detail panel where you have the targeting options there is the send button on top of the page. Edit the newsletter to enter the details panel.
Stefano.
Yes, set it on the newsletter targeting panel.

Stefano.
Hi, probably is a conflict with a new or updated plugin or theme installed in your blog. The only way to discover the problem is with a debugger. I can check it for you, just contact me privately at stefano@thenewsletterplugin.com.
Stefano.
Hi, what’s the content of this page when opened in the WP editor?
http://poznajpana.pl/newsletter/?nm=profile&nk=250-d8ac8a55eb
Does it contains the [newsletter] shortcode (exactly [newsletter])?
Stefano.
Hi, no we have not an url for that. But if a logged in user enter a page with the [newsletter_profile] shortcode, if he’s a subscriber, he should see the profile and hence the export link.
But no other data can be exported than the one of the subscriber.WP has a new export tool for regular users, I don’t know if there is a link on their profile page we’ll start the integration work on next weeks.
Stefano.
Yes, that is exactly the process. Newsletter subscribes the contact just before CF7 sends the contact email. The subscription is the regular subscription process of Newsletter.
For each CF7 form you can configure how Newsletter should intercept and manage the collected data. The only modification required, if desired, is to add the subscription checkbox in the CF7 form (see the documentation on this site for more details).
Stefano.
The sender address and name are configured on Newsletter main settings, may be you need to change them there. But it’s correct what google shows, that means you provider did not setup the reverse DNS entry for your domain.
Stefano.
Can you copy here a link to a subscriber profile? Just to check if the URL is formally correct.
Stefano.
Trigger is externally. Check our documentation page about the delivery engine and ask support to your provider to setup an external trigger. Probably your blog has not much traffic, or the cache is blocking the scheduler or the provider does not allow “autocalls”.
Our documentation has few examples you can bring to your provider attention to solve that problem.
Stefano.
No, it’s a DNS problem. Your new server is still resolving your domain to the old server. Forget the status panel for a couple of days and probably everything will be fine after 48 hours. If the problem persists you should ask the provider is the server is using an update DNS server.
Stefano.
Ok, save Newsletter main option to refresh the version cache and then you should have an updated notice on your plugin panel.
Stefano.
No, my tip won’t work, there is an error in the code (or better the code generates a warning if you have the wordpress debug mode active). I’ll fix it and publish an updated version.
Stefano.
Hi try to save the leads options I’m checking while there is not a check on that possible missing setting.
Stefano.
Export and import are not designed for backup. To migrate your subscriber you need to migrate the whole wp_newsletter table.
Stefano.
Hi I don’t understand what you mean with gaps… can you explain me better your issue?
Thank you, Stefano.
This is for sure a theme filter which changed the_excerpt() function. We try to not use anymore the native wp functions because they too often are manipulated by themes, but we have not completed that migration on all our newsletter themes.
Stefano.
That is a plugin which inject the menu on content generated by newsletter, is not out plugin adding that menu. Try to find which is the plugin doing that (could be the theme as well).
Let me know which is causing that problem, we can try to find fix or help the author to fix that behavior.
Stefano.
Probably you have a 403 and this is the mod_security of apache (or a security plugin) which sees you’re save a full html and blocks that operation. Ask the provider to disable mod_security for the wp-admin folder.
Stefano.
The check on status panel? Or the notification you see on top on admin pages?
If you see the notification it means the external trigger is not working correctly.Stefano.
Hi, the confirmation is automatic of course. have you the latest version of Newsletter installed? Just to know where to look for possible problems.
Stefano.
Maybe the rest api can be useful, it depends on your specific needs.
https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/developers/dev-newsletter-api
Stefano.
You get failed but the email is delivered? Failed comes from the mail function on wordpress, it’s strange to have that result if the email is actually delivered.
Are you using an SMTP plugin?
Stefano.
On subscriber management panel you can delete inactive subscribers. Pay attention that GDPR ask to determine the time spam OR the rules you put in place to decide the data retention. If a subscriber continues to interact with you, deleting his data after 3 years, could not be the best choice for your business.
More here: https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/gdpr-deleting-obsolete-subscribers
Stefano.
Hi, it’s a warning that will be fixed on next release. Check if your blog is in debug mode on wp-config.php and set it not to be in debug mode:
define (‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
Stefano.
They are used when you have more than one list and you want display them as a drop down control instead of a group of checkboxes.
Stefano.
Hi, could you check what’s inside your newsletter dedicated page (see the plugin main settings) and if there you can see only the shortcode [newsletter]?
Thank you, Stefano.
Hi, an error 500 is logged in your server error log. If you can get it we can find which could be the problem.
Thank you, Stefano.
Hi, that is really strange since the newsletter plugin DOES not change the behavior of wordpress mailing at all.
We try to check. Is that plugin free?
Stefano.
You can try to use our free extension “wp users integration”, probably it will work out-of-box in your case.
See the extension panel of The Newsletter plugin.
Stefano.
The “forbidden message” if from a security plugin or setting of your webserver. Those services detects the content of a newsletter as malicious code.
You should ask the provider about mod_security and how you can disable it on admin side of the blog.
Stefano.
Can you explain me better which errors you have and which modifications you made?
Thank you, Stefano.
Hi, we have not a cancellation form, your subscriber can write to you to check if they’re subscribed (never happened to me in 10 years…) and you can add an unsubscription url even on welcome email so they can keep those message to unsubscribe.
But, just an opinion: if someone subscribes the only reason to cancel is when you send him a newsletter (which has the cancellation link)… hence I won’t worry too much to have an unsubscription form on your site.
Stefano.
Actually not, we cannot differentiate the email address, you should able to differentiate the welcome pages anyway passing the hidden field named “ncu” with the url.
We have in our plans the idea to build a subscription flow manager, hope we can have a version in the summer.
Stefano.
Hi it sounds like the default settings has not been applied on first installation. Enter the subscription fields config. panel and save those warning should get off.
Stefano.
Hi, the link you reported is a tracked link and it can be found only in a newsletter when read from a mail client. That link is unique per subscriber. You can disable the tracking option in your newsletter if you want to have plain links (of course statistics will be always zero).
If you have a link like that in your newsletter editor, it means you copied it from an email in your email client. Is this your case?
Stefano.
Hi, wait the today update there are case on first installation with that problem (since the friday release).
Thank you for your patience, Stefano.
No, we have not an autoremove option right now, you can always enter the maintenance panel and remove them massively.
Stefano.
Hi, that box is a defect, it is there to contain the captcha when active, I’m removing it. About the page or box to show the service messages, today we release an update and you can find updated documentation information on general setting documentation page on this site.
Stefano.
If you have a paid account you can find the license key in the account page (see the top menu of this site). If you have not a paid account, probably there is something set in the license key field inside the main settings of Newsletter: just empty the field.
Stefano.
Hi, yes, we do not store the IP address on changes, and I think it is not a GDPR requirement. Anyway that could be a good idea.
Stefano.
Hi, the plain url is not always converted in an url by email client, you should always add a regular link made with the A html tag and then you can add the plain text version asking the user to copy ans paste it if the previous one does not work.
Stefano
Yes, cause you trashed the newsletter dedicated page, as can be seen from the url. Restore that page or select a different page in the main options.
Stefano.
Hi, the error 500 is in the whole blog? Error 500 is logged in the webserver error log, since the error 500 is returned by your webserver. Can you ask the provider that log?
Stefano.
Try to save again the widget options, I check if it missing a check on that field (which probably is).
Stefano.
The profile editing is not connected with shortcodes you used, there could be a bug of the new profile panel. I’ll check it.
You shortcodes are used to subscribe not to edit the profile.Stefano.
You should update your privacy policy about your newsletter service. For example stating you collect statistical data about user interaction with your emails. Or how long you keep the contact (or how you decide when a contact is no more relevant).
Stefano.
Hi thank you for reporting. Try to save the lists setting panel to solve the problem and be sure to run the version 5.4.4. What’s strange, the init should have initialized the lists, we’re going to check that case.
Stefano.
Hi, try to save the company info in the settings menu, we’re checking if there is an error somewhere.
Stefano.
Of course you’ll loose the stats, anyway you can empty them. Consider at least to keep a backup.
Stefano.
Hi thank you for reporting the error. Those values have not been initialized on installation we need to fix them. Enter the company info panel and just save that solves the problem.
Stefano.
Argh! Can you check if the profile page configuration has two {profile_form} tags? Find it under “subscribers”.
Hi, since no data can be stored if they don’t tick the box, if the data is stored it means they ticked the box.
Stefano.
No, the status, once reset, looses the progress information and cannot recover them.
Add a line of “excuses” and resend again. Even google or facebook sometimes resend newsletters ’cause they make mistakes, don’t worry!
Stefano.
Please update to 5.4.4.
GDPR is killing us, too… but to the end I think it will produce better data processing behaviors.Hi, we have not change the subscribe label extraction code, are you sure it was not customized for you and the updated deleted the customization?
Stefano.
Probably it is hidden by theme style rules, let me know which is the page where I can check the problem.
Stefano.
You can delete old newsletters and the table should reduce in size, but wait the next week update.
Stefano.
For a specific newsletter you need the reports extension which has the retargeting feature, otherwise you can use the general maintenance option to set in a list who do not interact with the plugin since a period of time.
Hi, url not verified means the url signature is not correct. Can you send me at stefano@thenewsletterplugin.com the not working link?
Stefano.
Hi, we’re not data processor for you, we only provide a pieace of software with no data exchange with us. So you don’t need a contract with us.
Stefano.
Hi, sorry but I cannot read english, can you repost your request in englisj, please?
Thank you, Stefano.
Hi, the cookie is, as you noted, a tech cookie. Anyway after the next release where we made some important changes in the cire, we want to release even more features, like the conrol over the cookie and the ip address.
Stay tuned, I think that will be available shortly. We’re doing our best!
Stefano.
There is not a cancellation form, just add always the link to cancel in your communications.
Stefano.
If the ultimate member fire the standard registration event and you can add a checkbox in the registration form of ultimate member it should work.
Or force the subscription on registration.Stefano.
Hi, can you share a screenshot? It sounds like an image which is not loaded bu the email client and the alt text shown.
Hi, of which theme or functionality are you talking about? The automated? Can you kindly open a ticket for commercial extension so you can be addresses to the right support team member?
Stefano.
The fact that a user checked the privacy checkbox is the subscription record itself with the creation date! 🙂 And the GDPR does NOT require anymore an explicit checkbox for privacy acceptance: the submit button is the “active action” which is required.
Stefano.
Hi, emails sent and in the subscriber mailboxes cannot be changed of course. You can pause a newsletter and modify it to continue sending the corrected version.
Stefano.
Hi, here you can find few ideas, not sure they cover your case.
https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/reasking-subscription-confirmation-to-your-subscribers
Stefano.
Hi, we plan to have the WPML support in a month, if you’re using WPML that should solve the problem. If you have any other plugin for multilanguage blog, let me know.
Stefano.
Hi, is that newsletter created with the drag and drop composer? Try to upload a logo image with lower size, like a 200 px width image.
Let me know, Stefano.
You’re offering in you blog the option to subscribe to your newsletter. If the checkboxes are options regarding the contents one prefer, they’re like options while purchasing a product and so they’re not different personal data processing options. So, yes, they can stay prechecked.
If a checkbox regards the possibility to share the personal data with a third party, that is a different use of data and it cannot be prechecked (just an example).
Be clear in your form what you’re going to do with data and if you’re not bundling really different things (like a newsletter, an ebook and the consent to share the data with others) you don’t need to have specific opt-in checkboxes.
You’ll note a change in the offering from now on. For example who were asking for data to send and ebook and then filled your mailbox with marketing message, now ask for separate consent to send those message.
Shortly they could change the form saying: subscribe our newsletter and you’ll get a free ebook. That make clear you’re subscribing a newsletter and not giving your data only to get an ebook. That is not a trick, is a way to be clear.
Just my opinion.
Stefano.
Shortly there will be an update where we’ll integrate the upcoming privacy features of wordpress. Of course the plugin stores the ip address (we’re going to add an option to remove that or to anonymize) and stores opening and clicks for statistics. All that should be stated on your privacy notice.
Stefano.
Hi, if you bought the license it should be shown in your account page. If not, please open a support ticket there could be a problem in your account: the admin will look at it and fix it asap.
Stefano.
Hi, what do you mean when you say “adapt the template”. Which kind of modifications? Are you creating a custom theme? From the screenshot I can deduce there is broken HTML in that theme.
Stefano.
Hi, that code is using a global variable which probably is replaced by another plugin. I’ll change the code to protect the widget from such kind of events (we forgot to change it, that “protection” is already in place on other functions).
Thank you for your report, Stefano.
Hi, please open a support ticket for professional extensions. You can find the ticket page on top menu.
Probably in automated you set it to ignore the last sent day and process all the posts. Pay attention: the theme preview is just a preview and uses even old posts, you should look at the newsletter preview.
Stefano.
Out of the box Newsletter uses the wp_mail() which can use the hosting mailing system or a service if you have a plugin installed to connect WP with an external service.
Check the speed on main configuration and set it respecting the service you’re using to send emails. For example ask your provider which are their limits.
Stefano.
It is enough to show a privacy notice link in the comment area if the reader explicitly activate the newsletter subscription flagging the checkbox.
I’ll check if we can easily add an option to the extension to add such a notice.
Stefano.
Hi check your installation you have the plugin in the wrong path:
/wp-content/plugins/newsletter1/plugin.php
Stefano.
Hi, you have a folder named “newsletter” in your blog space which conflicts with a page defined in your blog with url /newsletter. Just change the permalink of that page to something different.
Stefano.
Hi, the plugin already generate a form in the dedicated page, if you followed the wizard and set it up. Otherwise you can use one of the available shortcodes.
Stefano.
Hi the tag is {profile_export_url}. Note that we’re revisiting some tags anyway, but that one should work. Where did you find the one you cited in your post? Maybe we wrongly reported it in a documentation page.
Stefano.
Hi, the visual editor based on tiny MCE? I don’t know whu it is adding that paragraph, try to check the theme to see if there are extra blank lines at the end which could be transformed in paragraphs.
It means the plugin has the tools that help the blog owner to comply with the GDPR requirements, of course only for the data the plugin manage. As you know, there is not a plugin that makes the blog (or better the business) GDPR compliant, but every plugin should provide the tools needed.
We’re releasing some articles and a documentation page, and I think they’ll be updated to answer all the possible questions.
More, WP is working on a set of core tools to better manage the privacy and when available we’ll integrate Newsletter with them.
Stefano.
Hi, if you drag and drop a new posts block, does the problem persist or is it only there when you use a duplicated newsletter?
Stefano.
Hi check with your tech support how the email is not showing correctly in lotus note, the email are composed with HMTL following the mime standards.
Stefano.
No email is sent, it’s only a status change. The double opt in can be change in the subscription configuration panel.
Stefano.
You can use the timestamp in the table and run a delete query conditioned on that columns. The timestamp is the unix time, so your condition could me
field < unix_timestamp()-2*365*24*3600 Stefano.
Hi, probably they didn’t transfer all the database table or content. Most things are stored in the wp_options table while subscribers and newsletter are stored in specific tables.
You can dump out all the old options starting with newsletter* from the old site wp_options table in the new one. Check even for specific wp_newsletter* tables.
Stefano.
Hi, there is not a pro plugin replacement, our are pro extensions which add features to the Newsletter plugin. So nothing changes in your installation.
Stefano.
Hi, WP delete the whole plugin folder on each update. Put your themes on wp-content/extensions/newsletter-followup/themes.
Stefano.
if the database is utf-8 almost surely the file is not utf-8. Check it with an editor which lets you to switch between utf-8 and iso charsets.
Stefano.
Hi I don’t know how that modal popup is integrated with Newsletter, you should ask who did that integration.
Stefano.
Hi, it’s a style problem of the hidden middle step that’s anyway present. Thank you for reporting, we’ll fix on next release.
Stefano.
Hi, just check the scoial block in the visual coposer and it works on my blog, could you check again the company info configuration?
Stefano.
If you create a custom theme is will be available when you create a new newsletter. Updates of the plugin does not break old newsletters, once create thaye are saved definitively into the database.
Stefano.
Hi, for pro extensions, please open a support ticket to have right people getting back with an answer. Anyway the automated channel starts from the older posts in the number specified as max post to include. The starting date can even be set on the channel moving it back and forward.
Stefano.
Hi, see the page https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation, every extension, free and pro, is documented. Le me know if you need more details or a better overview for a specific extension. We appreciate the feedback to improve the documentation.
Stefano.
Hi, actually there is no way to use only the HTML editor, but those blocks are common to all messages? If is you could add those blocks in the messages template.
I’ll look at how we can give an option to use only an HTML editor (the editor is actually the WP editor and does not preserve the latest editing mode).
Stefano.
Hi, the mobile version is probably below the desktop version. Could you check it? About tabs that sounds like there is a javascript error, maybe due to another plugin (tested on a clean wp installation the tabs are there).
Can you contact me privately for a check? stefano @ thenewsletterplugin.com
Hi, the [newsletter_form] is only the subscription form, you probably should use the [newsletter] shortcode.
Stefano.
The subscriber should be redirected to the confirmation or welcome page where the message configured in the subscription configuration panel.
Stefano.
Hi, customer support is offered via ticket, see the support entry in this site. To segment your subscribers you can use the lists. The follow up extension is used to plan a series of emails that starts when a reader become a subscriber.
Stefano.
Hi, you can find the lists management in the list building panel. Read more on list in the dedicated page in this site documentation area to an overview on how the lists are managed.
Stefano.
Hi, the antibot feature already does few things to block the bots, but they execute even javascript. Blacklist their ip address is a viable solution.

Stefano.
Hi, you can use the autoresponder extension, probably it suits your needs. It’s beta and still not fully documented, find it in your extension panels.
Automated is not the right tool to send that kind of planned emails.
Stefano.
The SMTP settings should be provided by who setup your SMTP settings. We cannot know which is your username, password and host. They should give you exaclty what’s required in the SMTP panel.
Stefano.
Hi, create a newsletter using the drag and drop composer. In the footer the is the “profile”. Send a test and use the link in the newsletter you receive: the profile page opens with the unsubscription link, if you are using the default settings for the progile page.
Or, change the profile link to be {unsubscription_confirm_url} (as is). Send a test and click the link in the newsletter you receive. You should see the goodbye message.
If not let me know what is actually appearing, since the defaults in your bog has been changed.
Stefano.
The export is not compatible with the input format (see the documentation). Input format examples are specified in the import panel and extra profile fields are actually not supported.
Bye, Stefano.
There is not an unsubscribe shortcode. The tag {unsubscribe_url} can be added in each newsletter you created to generate a personal link that start the cancellation process.
Which shortcode are you using and where?
Stefano.
Ask the provider to block their IP address and rise the antflood time in the subscription settings.
Stefano.
No we have not such kind of feature. There are mass mail plugins which are made to send a one shot email to all the WP registered users in a blog.
Stefano.
Be sure there’s an image set as featured image or there is at least one image in the post media gallery.
Stefano.
Hi, a test from the newsletter you’re composing does not work, or the regular newsletter delivery? Check if you have problem to the wordpress cron in the status panel.
Stefano.
Actually not, it’s not possible. We need to rework the targeting part to manage even those profile fields (they can vary from short string to a long text, so filtering by those field is not immediate to do and to present to the user in the target section).
Bye, Stefano.
Questo è un bel blocco del provider di posta, meglio se chiedi conferma dei limiti ed eventualmente usa un provider esterno specializzato in invio email (sì, ovviamente sono a pagamento, ma Amazon SES per fare un esempio è estremamente economico).
Stefano.
Actually not, you can resynch the wp users from time to time. That would be a good option to add to the wp users integration, anyway.
Thnak you, Stefano.
Thank you, will check that. The escape is there for a good reason: basic users which are not aware of HTML entity encoding can break the button adding unescaped characters.
Bye, Stefano.
You should try to hack the CSS of your site to force a white background… try to ask for support on a design forum, showing the the page so they can find out the html structure and the correct rule to add to your CSS.
Bye, Stefano.
Hi, for automated extension could you open a ticket? Anyway you should code a very custom automated theme for that, not so immediate.
Bye, Stefano.
Hi, the best size is 600px wide. Anyway we’re releasing a new version which is able to resize your images to the right size for minimum weight and always a perfect pixel size.
Bye, Stefano.
Hi, I can see instagram and pinterest, how they’re missing in your installation? Have you the latest plugin version?
Bye, Stefano.
Hi the notification email cannot be changed. About the checkbox, there is no need to send a checkbox which is required to proceed with the subscription. The subscription takes place only if the checkbox has been checked, hence…
Bye, Stefano.
Hi the number of subscribers is not a problem, the lists are. Since every list is a column in the subscriber table, you can try to set the NEWSLETTER_LISTS_MAX define (see the documentation) and reactivate the plugin to have all that lists.
Stefano.
Hi, we have not a demo of Automated, you can check all the features in the documentation section. The welcome email can be disabled on subscription configuration panel, there is not a call back available or you should change the subscription form to do an ajax post and manage the 200 ok response.
Stefano.
No, nessuna interruzione a patto che il cron di wordpress stia funzionando (e funziona se hai traffico nel sito), altrimenti devi utilizzare un “trigger” esterno, vedi la pagina di documentazione nell’area documentazione di questo sito dove è spiegato come fare.

Stefano.
That is the HTML code of the email. It seems the content type of your email is stripped off and so the email client believe it to be pure text and not html.
Stefano.
No subscriber found means there is not subscriber for that unsubscription link, probably it has been deleted or already unsubscribed. If that is not the case, could be a problem of the blog removing the url parameters.
About the newsletter not showing correctly we need a screenshot and the email client you’re using.
Stefano.
Hi, check if you activated the SMTP. Failed means the mail service in your server is not available, even if usually the error is “cannot instantiate the mail() function).
Stefano.
Hi, most of the GDPR requirements are implemented, the double opt in is not a requirement of the GDPR, but as you already know Newsletter supports it. The subscription timestamp is already stored and that can be considered when the privacy rules have been accepted.
We’re completing our GDPR full complaint version, will be released shortly.
Stefano.
Hi, the delivery speed can be set on main settings. Check the status panel if the wordpress scheduler is working correctly, you could see a notice there.
Stefano.
If you use an SMTP plugin, do not set the SMTP on Newsletter and Newsletter will send email using your plugin. Be sure the “direct” sending is not set on main settings as well.
Stefano.
Hi, please open a ticket with this request and start it with “attn: Stefano” so it will be routed to me. We have a non public extension, seen its low interest by the public, that can slow down the delivery speed for a specific newsletter and set a time window during the day. It was used to send to a big list in a log time (three months), maybe it could help you.
Stefano.
Hi, if you have those extension you should have a license (see the account page in this site) and you can renew directly from the account page.
Let me know, Stefano.
