    Morning all,

    I’m new here; have searched google and the forum and cannot find an answer to my question:

    There are lots and lots of plugins and hacks out there showing how to do user registration and password, extra fields, fewer fields, whatever you want!! I don’t want users, I just want people to subscribe to a list to be informed that a new post has been written.

    They do not have to have a login, there is nothing for them to do on our site, it is a small site promoting our vacation spot.

    Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

    Thanks in advance

    do u mean like a news letter subscription? what your saying is 2 things. you don’t want users to register, but you want them to subscribe so that you can send them a mail & notify them about new posts?

    look at email subscribe / newsletter plugins.

    Hello Anandaxp,

    thanks for your quick response.
    No, I do not mean a newsletter subscription. I have one on our other site, that news letter gets sent to the people registered to get the newsletter.

    What I want is simply allowing people to register, and when there is a new post published an (automatic perhaps) email gets sent to the people who have registered saying that there is a new post. The post itself does not get sent out to subscribers. People have to come to the site to read it.

    I hope that this is a bit clearer.

    Co.

    Ps, thanks, moderator, for transferring it to the correct forum ??

    Doesn’t anybody have any ideas? This can’t be too difficult.
