This version contains the following bug fixes and improvements:

• Fixed a bunch of PHP messages – should not show anyway unless WP_DEBUG is true or PHP error reporting is on a high setting
• Fixed bulk category management so it applies to all users and not just the first record
• Update ‘autosub’ to no on one-click unsubscribe instead of erasing the value
• Return empty string is get_tracking_link() is passed and empty variable
• Fixed some typographical errors
• Fixed profile page to obey ‘one click’ display setting
• Fixed implode error seen when sending preview emails on some configurations
• Fixed a error in the admin user dropdown on installs (particularly Multisite) where there may be no administrator level users
• Added a button text filter for the Subscribe and Unsubscribe buttons – proposed by casben79
• Use wp_hash in place of MD5 to further obfuscate confirmation links – thanks to Charlie Eriksen, Otto and Ipstenu

Version 8.2 of the Plugin will hopefully be available for download soon. This version has been tested on WordPress 3.3.1. It requires at least WordPress 3.1.

Update: After a terse apology for the delay but no explanation why it’s taken them so long my plugin is finally re-listed on WordPress.org. Given the fact it contains a trivial security update it would be wise to upgrade, especially if you have several authors or administrators on your blog.

Version 8.2 contains the enhancements and bug fixes listed below include fixes for a minor security vulnerability (see below for more details).

Filtering the opt-out Authors

Version 7.0 of Subscribe2 introduced a new feature where Registered Subscribers could opt-out of receiving notifications from specific authors on multi-author sites.

Version 8.0 has improved on this a little by allowing site administrators to use a filter to trim down the list so unused author accounts can be removed from the list. To do this you simply code a small plugin extension something like this:

// 's2_authors' is the names of the new filter
add_filter('s2_authors', 'remove_author');
function remove_author($authors) {
	// our function takes an array of author objects as the input
	// you can then cycle through the array and remove any that you like on either 'ID' or 'display_name'
	$i = 0;
	foreach ( $authors as $author ) {
		// example use an if statement to check if author ID should be removed compared to a known ID
		if ( $author->ID == 1 ) {
			unset($authors[$i]);
		}
		$i++;
	}
	return $authors;
}

Themed User Subscriptions

One of the things I get asked about reasonably frequently is theming the “Your Subscriptions” page for end users.

If someone registers with your blog they can get additional control over their subscription by selecting which categories on your site they want notifications for and also the format of the email notification. It seems that some of you are not happy that this requires access to the WordPress administration menu area and you want to deploy the subscriptions form on the front of your site.

Well, there is good news. A developer has picked up on this request and is offering an extension for Subscribe2 that delivers exactly this functionality. And all they are asking for it is $2!

If this is something you want, go grab it here.
