    Hi,

    excellent plugin.

    I’ve an issue about Post Notif configuration: due to wordpress security, i’ve had copied wordpress folder to a subdirectory, except index.php. My .htaccess file don’t have write permissions.

    So, i used this code in .htaccess

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    but subscribers don’t are notified.

    Hi maamaral,

    I appreciate you giving Post Notif a try but I’m sorry you’re running into issues.

    Your .htaccess definition looks good but would you please provide a little more detail about the steps you’ve taken between moving your wordpress directory and determining that subscribers are not being notified?

    Specifically:

    1) Have you defined a sending email address (which your server recognizes as valid) in the Post Notif settings?
    2) Are subscribers receiving confirmation emails?
    3) If so, then I assume you are pressing the “Send Notif” button from each post you wish to send notifications for?

    Thanks,
    Devon

    Hi Devon,

    sorry for the inconvenience, but i’ve failed last step: press “send notif” button!!

    I understand that option ( “send notif” button), but in other plugins notifications are automatically send…

    Another question: why do you not recommend this plugin when we have 10000 or more subscribers? Cause mail server?!… or another reason?

    Thanks.
    Marco

    Hi Marco,

    No need to apologize – I am glad to hear that not knowing you had to press the “Send Notif” button was the problem! ??

    The reason you have to manually trigger the post notification is because I wanted to make things as simple as possible (less moving parts, less chance of things breaking). As I’ve mentioned in the FAQ, I chose not to implement scheduling because of my concerns with WP Cron, but I am planning, in a not-too-distant future release, to revisit scheduling notifications so that you don’t have to trigger them manually.

    As for your question about Post Notif not being the best solution for people with a large number of subscribers, it is due to the (current) lack of batching of notification email sends. Again, this is something I need to add, and have intended to get to, but just haven’t yet. If you are running into send problems in the meantime, I believe there are other post notification plugins that do integrate with things like MailChimp and AWeber.

    Thanks,
    Devon
