Confirmation landing page

@dcneuro,

Have you got your preferred landing page specified in the settings at Subscribe2->Settings in the Appearance tab?

I did. I am not sure with which version that changed. I looked into this more after my post. I noticed that the subscription confirmation email default had for the link simply [Link]. Somehow this picks up a nonexistent page designated by a bunch of letters in the URL. It simply is a page with a thank you. How does that come from the designation [Link]?

@dcneuro,

The link contains a $_GET request that is identified by the code and then several filters are applied. On re-directs to the preferred page and over rides the content.

I don’t see any such setting in the appearance tab. I did change the [Link] code in the confirmation subscription to the actual URL for my confirmation landing page. This seems to work. Is there anything I should be concerned about using this method?

@dcneuro,

If you have taken the {LINK} keyword out of the second email template and replaced it with a direct link to your page then that is totally going to stop anyone singing up as a public subscribers as the generated link contains a hash based on their email.

It worked when I tested it, but I will take your word for it and change it back. So I am not sure now how to get it to go the landing page of my choice.

So I changed it back to {Link}. So what exactly do I do to make it go to my confirmation landing page?

@dcneuro,

Having reviewed the most recent set of code the landing page on clicking the confirmation link will be a plain and simple confirmation message with all other content cleared.

I’ll have to look back through previous revisions to see if this has been different in the past.

This is my landing page now using the {Link} code, (which was there before I changed it and then changed it back):

Not sure where that is coming from. It use to be:

https://www.dcneuro.net/vertigo/confirmation

You are saying if I simply change the URL manually it wont work properly?

@dcneuro,

The confirmation process needs the “?s2=1b1834390c08b6c308181403efa6d2d571394” part of the URL link in order to work so if you want to use the new page it would need to be like this:

https://www.dcneuro.net/vertigo/confirmation/?s2=1b1834390c08b6c308181403efa6d2d571394

Even then the content is going to be overwritten, you confirmation page is where you want to direct the form submission from the Widget and shortcode but it’s is pointed at https://www.dcneuro.net/vertigo/.

You need to change this in the Appearance tab of the Subscribe2->Settings page in the dropdown.
