Stop email notifications for old posts being updtated

    Hello there.

    I’m doing some updating on my website, changing photos for the thumbnails, adding some bits and bobs on my old posts and for each update i make on old posts, an email is sent to my followers.
    As a result, last night about 100 emails were sent for each post I was updating.
    Which is annoying for the readers kind enough to follow me and embarrassing for me.`

    So… how to prevent or disable the emails notifications to be sent when it’s an old post being updated (not a new one being posted).
    A plugin, codex or something else to add to stop being annoying to my readers? Or do I have just have to disable the option notification on jetpack?

    I don’t dare updating my posts anymore in case a new wave of emails is sent.

    Thank you!

  • Hello murielleb, I replied in the another thread.
    Please add the below code to your functions.php file to add a checkbox option to every post of whether or not to email the post to subscribers.
    add_filter( 'jetpack_allow_per_post_subscriptions', '__return_true' );

    Let us know the results.

    OK. So I have added the code to the functions.php file, but there’s no change on my wp. I have checked on several posts, no checkbox option on the page.
    The checkbox is present when I want to add a new article.

    My problem is for old articles already online which I update with thumbnail photos. A notification email is then sent to the subscribers as if it is a new post.

    I don’t know whether I’m clear.

    Jetpack Mechanic ??

    I’m sorry to hear you’ve run into issues. That definitely should not happen, as Jetpack Subscriptions should only be triggered the first time a post is published.

    Could you try to update to the most recent version of Jetpack, 4.3.1? We indeed solved a similar problem in that last Jetpack release.

    Let me know how it goes!

    @lopwalj That filter won’t help, I’m afraid. It only adds a checkbox to the post editor, for posts that haven’t been published yet.
