Closing this one, as solved.

Hi valeriuc,

that’s an interesting use-case I did not think of. Thanks for bringing this up. As of now the plugin does not support your use-case.

For a quick fix, you could modify one line of code yourself. The Job that sends the mails, always sends a batch of mails in one request. The size of this batch is configurable by setting the “Number of emails to be send per request”. When this number of mails was send, the job will be rescheduled to send the next batch at least to seconds later. This interval can be changed manually by editing the following line of code to “add” more than two seconds, e.g. 600 seconds to send the next batch after 10 minutes:

https://github.com/nstaeger/wp-post-email-notification/blob/master/src/Model/JobModel.php#L126

If you do not want to do this on your own, you will need to wait for a future release. I put it on the todo list:

Hit Mike,

sorry for being a little late with the reply. I am very busy at the moment…

I am using the plugin myself and have over 30 subscribers as well and did not experience any problems. I am sending 8 emails per request.

To further understand your problem: can you tell me, if you are using SMTP for sending emails? I myself use the plugin WP-Mail-SMTP for sending emails and configured it to use a hosted mailbox for sending the emails. If you do not have any plugin for that installed, emails are being send via WordPress’ default method, which is PHP and might result in the problems you are experiencing. So this would be interesting to know.

Best

Hi Valeriu,

thanks for that information. It was what I expected: the plugin requires a PHP version greater than or equal to 5.5.0. As you have version 5.4.25, the plugin can not be activated, as it uses PHP features that came to PHP with version 5.5.

I am sorry, that this is not mentioned as requirement somewhere in the description. I will add this with the next release.

However, I am not planning to make the plugin compatible with any older PHP version, because 5.5 has already entered the end of life phase and 5.6 also just gets security fixes. I highly recommend to ask you ISP to upgrade your server to the latest PHP version. The supported PHP versions can be found here: https://php.net/supported-versions.php

I hope I could help you.

Thanks for you considerations, I will look into this. The plugin currently uses the default email address for sending emails configured in WordPress.

Can you tell me, which PHP version you are using?

Marked as resolve due to no answer…

Hi there,

Looks like you are using another plugin, not the “WP Post Email Notification”-Plugin. I would suggest you are using this plugin: https://de.www.ads-software.com/plugins/email-posts-to-subscribers/ . Is that right?

Best.

Hi,

Thanks for you question!

Your described scenario is currently not possible with my plugin. I am also not planning to make this a feature in the next months. I would suggest looking for another plugin.

Best.

Hi there,

The plugin can also handle scheduled posts. That means, when you schedule a post to be published later, the plugin will automatically send an email, when the post is automatically published by WordPress. It will not send the email, when you plan the post.
