Version 4.6 of the Plugin is now available for download.

Version 4.6 is for WordPress 2.3.x and 2.5.x users only! This version has been tested on WordPress 2.5.

Known Issues in Subscribe2 4.5

Well, it seems that WordPress 2.5 and Subscribe2 4.5 are being used massively judging by the rapid number of comments on the release of the latest version of this plugin

There appear to be 4 major problems people are running into:

1. Fatal Errors
2. Missing Profile Page
3. Missing Emails
4. Altered Page Titles

Fatal Errors:

This is most likely being caused by conflicts with other plugins that use buttonsnap.php. To fix this look at around line 50 in subscribe2.php for the following code:

require(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/subscribe2/include/buttonsnap.php');

And replace it with:

if (!function_exists(buttonsnap_textbutton)) {
	require(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/subscribe2/include/buttonsnap.php');
}

Missing Profile Page:

This is a bug introduced by the new menu system in WordPress 2.5. Either use a Drop Down Menu Plugin or apply the fix I submitted to the trac.

Missing Emails:

I’ve gone back to using wp_mail() in this release and it’s working fine for me. If you are having problems go back to mail() by replacing instances of @wp_mail( with @mail( in the subscribe2.php file. Also, read this post and contact your site host about email restrictions and ask them to look at the server logs.

Altered Page Titles:

Again, this is a bug in the WordPress code files. See here for the fix.

Subscribe2 4.5

Version 4.5 of the Plugin is now available for download. (A little earlier than I’d hoped but WordPress 2.5 is out!)

Version 4.5 is for WordPress 2.3.x and 2.5.x users only! This version has been tested on WordPress 2.3.3 and 2.5RC2.

Users of WordPress 2.0.x should download Version 2.22 of Subscribe2. Users of WordPress 2.1.x and 2.2.x should download Version 3.8.

Next Version

I’m hoping to release a new version of Subscribe2 in the coming week but I would like a few volunteers to test the new version first.

In this latest version I have:

• Changed the Manage->Subscribers screen to show subscribers in batches of 50
• Updated the QuickTag button code to work with WordPress 2.5
• Added an option to not send a notification on a per-post basis

The last of these involves using a custom field of “s2mail” set to “No” (case insensitive).

All of these features need a little testing in a wider audience before being released in the wild so if you are interested and comfortable testing code and debugging please post a comment below.

Known Issues and Fixes

There are currently two known issues with Subscribe2 and it’s features that are being caused by the core WordPress files. If you feel comfortable editing PHP code here are the fixes:

Issue 1: Upon activating the plugin you may get an error regarding openbase_dir

Issue 1 has been fixed by an update to the WordPress core files.

To resolve this issue locate the file install-helper.php in wp-admin. On line 2 you’ll find the following
require_once ('../wp-config.php');

Change this to:
require_once (dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/wp-config.php');


Issue 2: When a Subscriber confirms a subscribption the webpage shown will replace the names of all your pages with “Subscription Confirmed”

To resolve this issue you have two options:

Option 1: Comment out line 2183 in Subscribe2.php.

Change it from:
add_filter('the_title', array(&$this, 'title_filter'));

To:
//add_filter('the_title', array(&$this, 'title_filter'));

Option 2: Locate classes.php in wp-includes and edit line 521.

Change it from:
$output .= $indent . '<li class="' . $css_class . '"><a>ID) . '" title="' . attribute_escape(apply_filters('the_title', $page->post_title)) . '">' . apply_filters('the_title', $page->post_title) . '</a>';

To:
$output .= $indent . '<li class="' . $css_class . '"><a>ID) . '" title="' . attribute_escape($page->post_title) . '">' . $page->post_title . '</a>';
