We switched hosting to a VPS server and that fixed the issue of having only 1400 emails sent to SendGrid. I now have another issue though. When I publish a post it errors out and I get this error:

“Connection lost. Saving has been disabled until you’re reconnected. We’re backing up this post in your browser, just in case.”

The post does publish, but my dashboard forever spins and does nothing. After a few minutes I am finally able to access my dashboard and I see that the post is published, the emails send out as well.

It seems like the task of sending all of the emails to sendgrid is causing the issue. When I disable the Subscribe2 plugin so no emails are sent and publish a post it publishes just fine.

I really like SendGrid because it shows stats like opens and clicks, etc. but unfortunately it doesn’t play nice with the WPMQ mail throttling plugin as we discovered already. Seems like I need to somehow tell Subscribe2 only to send out so many emails at a time.

I suppose one option is to not use sendgrid at all but my client really likes SendGrid.

Do you think that is the issue as well?

Do you know of a way to solve the Connection lost error and still use SendGrid and Subscribe2?

Thanks!

I am not sure how to check that. I have looked at the site error_log in the root directory and don’t see anything. I can try calling SendGrid to see if they have a way. Any ideas how to do this other than that?

One other question would it be helpful to use some plugin to only send a certain number of emails to SendGrid every hour? Is it possible that it is hitting some sort of limit on how many it can send to SendGrid at once and then just errorring out?

I am running out of ideas and the frustrating thing is I can only test this when the client makes a new post because I don’t want to deluge their users with test emails.

I really appreciate your help on this!
Thanks!

I put max_execution_time = 900 in the php.ini file and posted another post but only 1422 of the 3877 subscribers were sent email notifications. Are there any other settings I need to change related to this? Can you think of any other reasons why it doesn’t send all 3877 subscribers an email when there is a new post?

Thanks!

Could that amount of subscribers cause the Subscribe2 plugin to timeout and cause only 1573 emails to be sent to SendGrid?

Thanks!

I just checked and it shows all Registered subscribers in all categories. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

All but 2 of the subscribers are Registered. I assume all Registered users are subscribed to all categories but I haven’t checked. I don’t really want to manually check each of the 3875 subscribers to see if they are subscribed to all categories. Is there a way to check that in bulk?

None of the subscribers have a password so they can’t change their subscription. This is a site we moved over from Drupal so I added them manually by uploading csv files of 500 users at a time. When you add them in that way does it automatically subscribe them to all categories? Or do you think they aren’t subscribed to all categories?

Thanks!

I have integrated SendGrid to help with the limit our host has on the hosting account but noticed that when I posted a new post only 1579 emails were sent to SendGrid to deliver. Is there a limit on how many subscribers there can be? Any idea why only 1579 of 3877 emails were sent when I posted a new post?

Thanks!

I was able to make the plugin apply to a specific post type by editing the code. The plugin looks for an id to check if anything is checked. I just changed the id and it made the user select a Taxonomy term from only that custom post type.

What I did was find the div containing my custom post type taxonomy terms when viewing the post in the dashboard. In the source code it looked like this:

<div class=”inside”>
<div id=”taxonomy-resourcetype” class=”categorydiv”>

In the plugin code (force-post-category-selection.php) there were two lines that I changed.

This line: var cats = jQuery(‘[id^=\”taxonomy\”]’)
I changed to: var cats = jQuery(‘[id^=\”taxonomy-resourcetype\”]’)

and near the end of the code I changed:
jQuery(‘[id^=\”taxonomy\”]’).find(‘.tabs-panel’).css(‘background’, ‘#F96’);

to

jQuery(‘[id^=\”taxonomy-resourcetype\”]’).find(‘.tabs-panel’).css(‘background’, ‘#F96’);

Hope this helps!

Could I then input that information into each event (class) in EE and then access it and pull it into the proper spots in my template?

So currently I have already created a custom post type called “Classes” that is used to collect the following information about each class that is created: Class Name, Date of Class, start time, end time, maximum class size, class description and the type of class. With EE 4 Decaf would I be able to collect all of the same data and then access it in my template using EE template tags?

Or could I use my “Classes” custom post type in conjuction with EE 4 Decaf to allow registrations?

Thanks!

Thanks! I look forward to seeing what you have in store for it! I will keep it in mind for future projects.

I just tried that but still got the same error.

Sure. Here is a link to it: screenshot

I am using ACF version 4.3.9

I ended up finding another solution for that project and have since updated the wordpress version. I believe it was something like version 3.8. I would still be very interested in making it work. I just tried to activate FooThumbnail Gallery on a WordPress 4.0.1 installation and received the following error when trying to activate the plugin:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/hfatzing/public_html/wp-content/plugins/foothumbnails-for-galleries/includes/ftg-metaboxes.php on line 458

Thanks!
