subscription for new static pages

  • My wordpress site uses static pages instead of posts. I wish to send email newsletters for every new page published, but unable to find out how. Is there anyway I can change it in the scripts or settings to make this work?

    I guess I need to set the category also working. I added another plugin which sets category to the pages, but still the email subscription is not working for new pages published.

    Any help would be great!

  • Hi,

    Sorry. At this moment, Email Subscribers doesn’t work with Pages.

    Hey Malay, thanks for a quick response. I understand that the plugin doesn’t support Pages out of the box. But do you think there is an easy hack which I can do in the scripts?

    Okay, I found a way out. I see that there were many here who are looking for a working subscription for new “pages” published. Here you go:

    Go to /email-subscribers/includes/db/class-es-db-notifications.php in the plugin folder.

    Comment the lines for the following IF LOOP. Currently, this is lines 31-52
    if ( $post_type == "post" ) { }

    This takes care of the post_type(page) and also the category factor (pages don’t have categories). I was almost moving into a different plugin, but this hack fixes it.

    —————-
    The above hack will remove the option for selecting categories. If you want that to work, you can add the “Add Pages to Categories” plugin and then simply change the post_type to “page” in the above line (or include both page and post with a boolean operator). When you publish a new page, you need to remember to select the category though.

    Will be great to have this option in a future release. Plugin Contributors? @malayladu ?
