Version 4.17 is for 2.6.x, 2.7.x and 2.8.x users. (Although it should work with WordPress 2.5 too!) This version has been tested on WordPress 2.8 and 2.8.1beta2.

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.

Error Messages

Subscribe2 attempts to check that emails have been successfully sent by reporting the callback returned by the WordPress wp_mail() function.

In your server or WordPress install are not correctly configured this can result in error message despite successful sending of emails.

To overcome these issues access the PHPMailer files directly, locate a language error file and uploaded to your WordPress site (wp-content/languages/ for example).

Next, get yourself a Mailer plugin like the one suggested here and put the following line in the code.

$phpmailer->setLanguage( 'en', '../wp-content/languages/' );

This will ensure that you don’t get:

Language string failed to load: instantiate

Mail Debug

Ben Forchhammer has just released a new plugin called Mail Debug.

This plugin could be of great assistance in finding out why emails are not being sent when using Subscribe2. The documentation states:

This plugin when activated automatically redirects all email sent through wp_mail/phpmailer to the user currently logged in.

The redirected email contains information about where the original email would have been sent to.

Use this plugin if you want to test email-sending features without actually sending emails our to anyone but yourself. I wrote this plugin to ease debugging with subscribe2.

So, if you are having problems with Subscribe2 then give this plugin a try.

Next Version – the votes are in

The poll for how the form should look in the next version has been up for just over 2 weeks now so time to count those votes!

• 5% of the votes asked for a totally different look without bothering to post a comment telling me what they had in mind!

So, the clear winner is the two-button form! Look for it in the next version due soon… And thanks to all who voted.

Next Version – you decide!

The next version of Subscribe 2 is coming along nicely. There are no massive changes in the function of the plugin but briefly these are the improvements so far:

• Much improved compatibility with WordPress MU (thanks to Ben)
• Use of <label> tags throughout the admin menus so you can now click on text too!
• Maybe – a slight redesign of the Subscriptions form

That last point there is a maybe – because now is your chance to decide how the plugin moves forward in terms of the form. Get voting below for your favoured choice of form. (And I bet some of you want to know what it looks like so see below the poll!)
