WordPress Email Notification Plugin v2.3.0

I’m having trouble with your plugin. I followed the instructions that came with the plugin, and I added the extra line in the header. I also changed line 19 for line 22, and I subscribed a user to test the plugin.

I encountered 2 problems:

PROBLEM ONE: ERROR IN HEADER
I have the following errors in the header of my page

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-email-notification/email_notification_2.3.php on line 369
Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-email-notification/email_notification_2.3.php on line 372

Both of these errors dissappear if I take out the extra line in the header

PROBLEM TWO: INCOMPLETE WRITE POST/PAGE
When I try to create or edit an existing post/page I get an incomplete version of it. I don’t get to see anything below the Save/Post buttons. If I disable the plugin it then renders the page completely

has anyone experienced this?

yep. same problem here. ??

Hi,
I have the same problem, I don’t see the post page completely.
I look inside the code and I don’t know where is the error

Thanks

everything seemd fine but confirm email is not being sent out. after several test subscriptions i went to check my subscribers list and it says this:
“Could not successfully run query (SELECT * FROM wp_email_list) from DB: No Database Selected”

i checked my config in maillist folder and settings are fine. please help.

This is the oddest thing. I have several WP sites scattered over different web hosts.

1. My blog (https://babygotblog.com) is hosted at DreamHost, and I installed this plugin and it performs FLAWLESSLY. No errors whatsoever, and test subscriptions went through without a hitch.

2. Feeling quite lucky, I then dared to install the plugin at a WPMU site, https://petdiaries.net. (It’s hosted at SurpassHosting.com, a cPanel type account). It’s a bit tricky working with WPMU, somethings are the same and some things are different. When WPMU started throwing out Fatal errors, I decided the plugin wasn’t compatible with WPMU and scrapped it.

3. I then moved on to my web design site (https://webjones.org). Thought for sure this would go without a hitch, as it’s hosted at Global Internet (cPanel type hosting). Noooo. I got the same errors I got with my WPMU site! I did nothing different whatsoever. So now I’m thinking, if I can solve this problem, there might still be hope for my WPMU site.

Why is it working on one site and not the others?

Here is the error webjones.org is throwing out:


Warning: main(/maillist/wpemn_config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/webjones/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-email-notification/index.php on line 19
Warning: main(/maillist/wpemn_config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/webjones/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-email-notification/index.php on line 19

Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/webjones/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-email-notification/index.php on line 45

Update: Not all web hosts are alike, so it seems. I had to go in and edit the wp-content/plugins/email-notification/index.php file. The default is this:


/* If maillist isn't located at your web root this will need to be changed */
include ("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/maillist/wpemn_config.php");

/* If your maillist directory is located in your wordpress directory, you can use this instead of line 19 */
// include (ABSPATH."/maillist/wpemn_config.php");
?>

Notice that the DOCUMENT_ROOT line is uncommented (operative) and the ABSPATH line is disabled. To get rid of my errors, I had to flip-flop them, like this:


/* If maillist isn't located at your web root this will need to be changed */
// include ("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/maillist/wpemn_config.php");

/* If your maillist directory is located in your wordpress directory, you can use this instead of line 19 */
include (ABSPATH."/maillist/wpemn_config.php");
?>

Hope this helps someone else. I think this is a great plugin and am off to add it to my “Plugins Used” pages.

So… is there a way to have the “thanks for subscribing page” within your theme or must it be on the blank page?

Or rather… I’m sure there is a way… but is it something that could be relatively easily accomplished by someone who is willing to take some time to figure simple stuff out, but isn’t a coder by nature/profession?

No point in trying something that’s going to be way beyond me anyway…

Can you do anything about giving it a Sender ID, so it won’t be filtered as spam?

I’m getting the same error as nuessly (the no database selected error)… i don’t have time to investigate (since I am travelling so much) so i unfortunately had to deactivate the plug in and take the subscribe form off of my index page ??

i’ve installed the plugin, and I dont receive any errors. Confirmations emails are being sent out, and people are able to sign up. But when posting an entry no emails are sent out. what am I missing?

cocababy541: are you just publishing the posts, or saving as drafts first then publishing. I’ve been trying it out and for me at least, if I save as draft first, then publish, it won’t send the email, and I can’t figure out why

I am having the same problem with getting the notification when a post is published (not saved as draft, just directly published). Confirmation emails go out, and I can email the list directly, but no one is getting messages stating that there is a new post. Anyone figured this out?

From the plugin’s Wishlist (upcoming plans), I see this

To Do & Wishlist
* Add digest option (send once a day or week)

For me, I will be able to use this plugin when the digest option is implemented! Right now I cannot use it because I often see a typo, mis-spelling, or I decide to make Edits on my post after I have already pressed “Publish”! I do not want to email my users with a typo!

I really wish I could email members just once with a new post. I guess although it seems to be a common problem (not getting email notifications after a post, but everything else functioning), no one has figured it out or cares to share their solutions.

I am having a few minor issues with this plugin.

Problem 1

Back link is https:///mydomain.com not https://mydomain.com, where do I go to remove the extra /

Problem 2

The activation link being emailed out is missing the / between https://mydomain.com and maillist

Im sure this is easily solved but I don’t want to make it any worse!

Thanks in advance

I have solved the problem above but;

I have recently installed the latest WP and email notification, everything now works ok except that I am not receiving email notification! It appears that it may have something to do with times – nothing is being put in the fufure table though. The box that needs to have yes in it does. My WP Blog is set for UK time and the server is in the US somewhere. I have tried changing the code mentioned before but I am unable to find the exact code that needs to be changed. I have changed a similar piece of code and get an error message so have had to revert back.

Thanks in advance
