Unsubscribe does not work when email contains a + symbol

    Hi,

    when a subscriber email does contain a + symbol, the unsubscribe function (e.g. link: …?bbp_anonymous_unsubscribe&[email protected]&topic_id=123456) does not work. I need to edit the email address in the wordpress database to make the link work.

    Can we expect a fix for that?

    Ah, the emails should be urlencoded. I’ve fixed that but not yet released it as a public update — is it possible for you to test if it works as expected for you? The updated version is here https://github.com/TheCrowned/bbPress—Anonymous-Subscriptions

    Hi,

    no – it’s not. The URL now looks like:

    ?bbp_anonymous_unsubscribe&user_email=name%2Btoengel%40gmail.com&topic_id=123456

    The look of it shouldn’t be a problem, as the email is decoded back when it’s read, unless there’s some other bug somewhere. Does the link not work to unsubscribe?

    Hi,

    normally when clicking an unsubscribe link, a white page is opened and it’s written, that the user with email xyz has been unsubscribed.

    Now when clicking, the corresponding bbpress thread is opened and nothing happens. I also don’t see anything in the server logs…

    Maybe the comparisson with the (old) DB is not working with the URL encoding?

    Hi,

    one addition. Unsubscribing of “normal” email address is working with the URL encoding…. e.g. [email protected]

    Hi,

    unsubscribing does now work! Great!

    As far as I can see, you are using the “WP error display function” to display a white box, but “Unsubscribing successfully” was written in that white box ?? (maybe you can adapt the page title to remove the “WordPress > Error” message – but this is not that important – functionality works great now)

    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for the feedback, I’ve addressed that as well. I will release this as a public update at some point, but feel free to go ahead and take the latest commit from the repo already! ??
