How To Turn Off Post Notifications

    I am trying to stop notifications of new posts to my users when they are published. I use a newsletter sending program and do not want to trickle out posts when they are published.

    I found a plugin to turn-off all emails, but this site is an ecommerce site that we need order notices and other communication to continue.

    i am sort of blown away that there does not seem to be a solution to this. Am I missing something.

    I am okay with snipet code, but would love, love, love to see a plugin.

    How do you / did you have your users subscribe to notifications in the first place?

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

    The site is a woocommerce wp site. It is for wholesale customers. When they signup/register, they are assigned the role of customer. We then change that role to wholesale when they are approved. It seems that any role is treated as a subscriber and when we publish a ‘post.’ they get this funky email saying that “we” just published a new post on https://www.xxx.com and to click through to read it.

    I want to stop these notification emails so we can aggregate three-four posts into one newsletter.

    I have figured out how to stop it with “Stop Emails” By Sal Ferrarello plugin, but it stops all emails. I still need all my notices, invoices and other emails to keep going out. Now, I have to disable Sal’s plugin to let emails out and re-enable it to stop post emails. That is a pain especially when I have orders coming in at the same time as the plugin is enabled.

    Hi Steve,

    Yes, Jetpack is enabled on that site. I must admit that i am not well versed on all of its features. Just have never taken the time to come up to speed on it.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for this. I cannot confirm, but it does seem to turn off both the ability to subscribe and pushing new post notices. Thant actually may be okay because I use “Newsletter” as my news outlet and it has a separate subscription module.

    What I cannot figure out or find is whether the user role of “Subscriber” is the only role that gets the new post push notifications. When I play around with new posts, my subscribers all get notices which irritate them. So, I have to be careful.

    This post push feature goes back before Jetpack, so I am not totally sure all of the implications. There does not seem like a lot of documentation.
