Trouble with Unsubscribe

    Hi, I used to use Subscribe2 to send emails to subscribers when there was a new post. I have decided to use Newsletter instead, and I’ve been able to set up the subscribers and the Subscribe page OK (I haven’t styled them properly yet). But I don’t seem to be able to get any Unsubscribe function working. I have the following issues:

    1. Ideally, I’d like to have the subscribe and unsubscribe buttons together, in the footer of every blog page, and on the Subscribe page. But while the {newsletter} shortcode for subscribing works, the only unsubscibe shortcode I can find is {unsubscription_confirm_url} which doesn’t seem to do anything. What am I misunderstanding?

    2. If I use the Single Step Version cancellation/unsubscription, there seems to be nothing to stop someone malicious enetering other subscribers’ emails and cancelling them. Is that so? I guess that’s why you have Double Step?

    Thanks for any advice. I’m sure this is a simple matter and I’m just missing something.

    Hi, I’ve resolved #2, but still struggling with #1. I can see how people can unsubscribe in one step using the link in their welcome email, but how can someone unsubscribe years later when they no longer have that email? There are some unsubscribe shortcodes, but I can’t get any ofhtem to work.

    Really appreciate your help thanks.

    I think I can now be more specific in my question.

    I can see how I can put a one step opt out in the email notifications – but that isn’t what I want.

    I want to have two step unsubscribe, and I want people to be able to do this from the website, not just from the email. Is that possible please?

    I can’t find any shortcode that allows it.

    Thanks.

    I realise Newsletter wasn’t designed to do what I wanted. I will try another plugin. Please disregard this thread. Thanks.
