Hi! I have some questions about this plug-in. I’m using feedburner for mail subscription, can I use the DB of feedburner or use the input from feedburner for your plugin?
Thank you in advance. I just don’t want to add more input to my temple and make them work together.
Hi Mike,
You can add the list if you can retrieve the email from DB of feedburner into text files or csv.
No matter what version of wordpress I use the newsletter plugin doesn’t show in the plugins list. I’ve testing with 2.6.5 and 2.7.1. Any thoughts?
Is it possible to add a sign form for the newsletter in the side bar of a site how is this done.
@Anthony That is strange, maybe you did not get all the files. @Deonya Yes, you can put wpnewsletter_show_optin_form(); to your sidebar.php
hi there
i don’t see the security code?
thanks.
Hi baa, try update the plugin http://smallwebsitehost.com/doc/wordpress-newsletter.zip
i managed to almost make it work but i see another problem when the user wants to unsubscribe, it still doesn’t work.
i think it is beacause of the line 326 :
$url .= “kei=”.md5($user->email.$user->name);
the value is always the same.
i think u can’t use $user->name (name is restricted, i think)
firstly, it wasn’t working cause of:
1 $dbprefix is not always use (sometimes u use $wpdb = “wp_”; )
2 u use wp_options (as if we didn’t have chosen another $dbprefix)
3 on lines 606, 654, 704, u forgot wordpress- in the href
—–
i really am not able to fix the problem of the line 326.
if u fix those errors (especially line 326, for me)
i will be able to use ur toBeFantastic plugin,
thanks,
baa
I just installed this, and everything working and displaying, except when I hit the submit button, nothing happens. I took a look at the code, and there is no action specified upon submit. Am I missing something?
@baa what is line 326 error? Could you IM me at very underscore bright at hotmail dot com? @Jeff That is strange. What is your blog? Could you IM me at very underscore bright at hotmail dot com?
@admin
Thanks for helpgin! I just sent you an IM, but you were offline. I can give you the blog address over IM.
Hi. Is there a way to add the form to a page? I’ve tried a few ways and I can’t get it to work. Any help would be appreciated
@mark have you add to your theme file? You can IM me at very underscore bright at hotmail dot com if you have trouble?
when doing a test subscribe and confirm email, I get this error message every time
Thank you. You are subscribed now!

@Stephen, I think the problem is wordpress prefix, I use "Wp_" as prefix. What prefix did you use?
Hi,
I’m fairly new to wp and php, but are you referring to line 236 in newsletter.php?
$wpdb = “wp_”;
I’m not sure what my prefix is, but I did change the dbprefix in setting.php to ivbt_
Thanks in advance for your help
@Stephen, yes try changing $wpdb = “wp_”; to $wpdb = “ivbt_ ”;
Thanks, but that did not work
Also, I wanted to point out that in the lines 615+, there are several calls for
…href=”options-general.php?page=newsletter/newsletter.php”>
I had to change those to
…href=”options-general.php?page=wordpress-newsletter/newsletter.php”>
in order to be able to delete users. Notice the added “wordpress-”
@Stephen . Thanks for the update. I got messed up, because in my local file, I use newsletter folder. I've updated the plugin. You said it still didn't work. Any error?
I still get the error listed above for mysql_fetch_assoc after I changed to $wpdb= “ivbt_”
Everything else seems to work.
hi there
i don’t see the security code?
I have updated the plugin more than one?
what to do?
thanks.
Hi,
everything is working great. I found 2 issues though.
1. the unsubscribe link is not working, the error is: “Failed to verify your email. There is no such user.”
2. when I enter an incorrect email format, at least 30 lines of “Email format is incorrect” shows up.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Thanks for the plugin!
I’ve installed it and am trying to get all the website subscribers as newsletter subscribers too. When I try to look at the list, I get this error: Cannot load newsletter/newsletter.php. However, I can get to that page.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
K
I went in and changed all instances of newsletter/newsletter.php to wordpress-newsletter/newsletter.php and it works now.
Thanks!
ya I also have the same problem with kappaluppa, How do I cope
How can I see my subscribers? I can’t see them… Where should I go in the backend?
Hi Bob, You can see your subscribers on Admin Panel > Settings > Newsletter. Below Export/Import fields, you will see the list of your subscribers. Thanks :)
I need help! The security code isn’t showing up and it is not allowing visitors to sign up. I have an event tonight and we were planning on having users sign up at the event.
Please help me fix this.
Thanks!
Anthony, I guess you downloaded the plugin from the old link (my bad!) - Please try to reinstall the plugin found on this link: http://smallwebsitehost.com/doc/wordpress-newsletter.zip
I’d like to use it as a shortcode in a page… how can I do this?
Rina, Unfortunately it's not supported... Maybe in the next release?
It works great with my WP, thank you very much!
Cheers!
Hi, I installed the newsletter plugin on my blog (http://www.tatesjourney.com) but when I test it to see if it works and when I log in to my email to verify the email I get this message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) in /hermes/bosweb/web281/b2810/sl.moses3815/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-newsletter/newsletter.php on line 238

please help.
thanks
I think you need to reactivate the plugin and/or check whether you have conflicting plugins. Thanks :)
When subscribers link is click “You can verify your email” I get this error:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/e/r/n/ernestlynn/html/rochelletire.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-newsletter/newsletter.php on line 238

I will donate if I get this awesome plugin working.
Sorry, same problem as posted above me by

Thanks you problem solved it was error in setup.php file. Will donate when ppl pay me. thx again!
Thanks all the same, Ernie :)
can you plz tell me where the newsletter code is located so I can shrink table width? I can’t see it in index php file where does newsletter point to? Sorry I just learning all this.
sorry to be a bother again… Is there a way to import csv file into newsletter db? Best plugin I have found so far
Fine plugin , installation is a breeze but I can’t get captcha to show any ideas why ? so cannot validate subscription not even for test purposes.
Thanks in advance
I am answering my previous question: why I can’t get captcha picture to show.
The answer is :
you need to have :GD & FreeType enable on your server ( my local server had only GD enabled and no Free Type enabled this is why captcha picture didn’t show.
Hope this will help other users of this very nice plug-in.
Can somebody explain me how some subscribers are classified in opt-in yes or opt-no categories ???
Thanks
How do I import my list of subscribers? I see the file format (which I’ve done) but how do I select the file for upload? This is not clear at all!
Hi there – grreat plugin – I will certainly donate – but I kind have to get this one solved:
When a user try to unsubscribe, the message in the browser is: “Failed to verify your email. There is no such user.”
What to do?
Thanks for a nice plugin
I can’t get captcha to show and GD & FreeType are already enabled on my server. Please help.
I love the plug-in it is exactly what I’m looking for, however…..
I’m having a problem with my users not being able to verify their email. no mater what they try they get “Failed to verify your email.” It sends out the emails perfectly. Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated.
You guys having troubles with “Failed to verify your email.” – check your setting.php of the plugin. MAKE SURE you put the details right.
Nice plugin but can we email the subscribers?
I like this plugin very much. But how can i export mail addresses ?
please help me.
Try running things in a different browser – that usually fixes issues for me!
Great article. Thanks a bunch for the information. This would surely be part of my blog with the new additions. Appreciate the effort taken. Cheers
Hi
I am getting this error message on a new site I am developing:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to send mail. (Failed to resolve host address.) in /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-newsletter/newsletter.php on line 198
Any ideas what is the problem
Regards
Jean
User can not unsubscribe. It gives me message
“Failed to verify your email. There is no such user.”
I have found all the link has same md5 code “d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e”
and this code is generated for empty string
Please help i can not solve this problem
*“Failed to verify your email.”* — checked my setting.php, still can’t verify my email, what’s wrong here???
need help please, my client is not really happy….
To remove the failure in lin 296, and so on…
just edit:
$result = mysql_query(“select * from wp_options where option_name =’wpnewsletter_email_from’”);
to:
$result = mysql_query(“select * from wpYOURWORDPRESSPREFIX_options where option_name =’wpnewsletter_email_from’”);
For example:
$result = mysql_query(“select * from wp219_options where option_name =’wpnewsletter_email_from’”);
This works
.. this is needed when your database prefix isn’t wp_ and it is addtional needed to the edit of line 236: $wpdb = “wp219_”;
There you also must edit the wp_ to wp_yourprefix…
