Does it ring a bell?

I mean it was very odd solution to clear all the mails in queue in postfix. That cannot be the solution if plugin is deactivated or deleted.

Is the plugin queuing mails like that? Beyond the WordPress activation?

It was an Automated Email to WC customers based on their purchase patterns. The campaign showed Pause button when it was running, however in 24hrs it showed the status complete (or done).

In spite of that, it was sending emails. So we did not have the option to “pause”.
Hence, to fix this issue, we deleted the campaign. Assuming there would be glitch in the coding, deletion seemed sensible.

Anyway, like mentioned we tried many things. Ultimately what worked was clearing the mail queue.
Issue was self fixed, however we would not be using the mailer again for sure.

Maybe you can find and fix the issue that much have caused this. Because without CRON or Action Scheduler job – to queue so many mails and most of them repeats is a bug for sure.

Guys, please tell me how to stop this email.
I have tried everything and it is still going on and on since 3 days.

I cannot believe the fact, we still have this plugin sending emails.

There is no hook: noptin_noptin_bg_mailer_cron

Yes, we use WP SMTP plugin and send mails via Sendgrid.

Issue was supposedly with W3TC plugin or transients – it is unclear.

What I tried to solve the issue?
1. Deleted the campaign directly. Didn’t work.
2. Deleted noptin options from database. Didn’t work.
3. Deactivated plugins (free or pro) for 24hrs. Didn’t work.
4. Restarted services on my server – Redis, Nginx etc. Didn’t work.
5. Checked for Cron in Wp_Cron, Action Scheduler. Found nothing related to noptin.
6. Decreased sending capacity in the plugin to 0 mails per hour. Didn’t work.
7. Tried to find and delete the email data from wp_posts or postmeta table – nothing there.

Finally, I digged into the code – because my Spam Score was going off the charts and nothing was stopping the emails – not even deletion of plugins.

wp-content/plugins/newsletter-optin-box/includes/class-noptin-mailer.php
Commented line 59.

Please let me know if this is correct or else I will dig further.

It is a nightmare frankly. May I know how is this plugin sending mails without cron?!

I said W3TC or Transients because I took the extreme steps to disable Object Caching and Clear transients to stop this email. I am not sure if that worked, because it was only 30 mins back I have had no spam reports.

How is this plugin sending emails?! We cannot find the cron or the action_schedule.

Let’s resolve this. Our backend is acting really nasty at times. And it took hours (4 to be precise) to peg it on Caching plugin. Normally, the immediate culprits are the poorly coded plugins or bugs; however it is not so this time.

Done.

Provide email address for me to mail the updated version. Consider applying it with the next update.

It is not Theme related as I have checked on staging server with the theme. The theme in use is Flatsome, which is compatible.

The issue is with the checkout141.min.js file.

I have modified it to disable Place Order button after a click and issue is resolved.

True, indeed the bug is not present on your setup.

My issue is:

After clicking the place order button, there is a mask that covers the whole page.
In our case, the mask disappears after 3 seconds – which allows the user to click the button again.

Please suggest something.

There is no OTP plugin in use anymore. OTP plugin is disabled.

Which OTP plugin I was using?
Digits.

Registration form.

The checkout form is beautifully mapped. Good job on that!

PS: Noptin on my setup is on premium add-ons.

What about users who are already registered?!

Do you have integration with any other OTP plugin?
We are disappointed with Digits plugin ourselves. The developers are average-minded.
