Hi Mailpoet,

If it wasn’t sending duplicates with Mailpoet 2, is there a way for me to use Mailpoet 2 instead of 3?

Hi there,

To be honest, no it doesn’t make sense. You would just have to check if the subscriber has already received a post notifivation for that specific post id. No? Send. Yes? Don’t send.

A developer could do this for me (quite easily if I am to believe them) if you could just provide a hook they can use.

You say it’s just a choiche Mailpoet has made, but in other topics Mailpoet says something different.

‘Good extensions, but low priority’ https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/good-plugin-but-with-a-few-issues/

‘Discussing if go back to Mailpoet 2 when it was only one e-mail send’ https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/duplicated-post-notifications-with-multiple-sign-up-categories/

If Mailpoet 2 had different behaviour and a hook isn’t possible. Would it be possible for me to use Mailpoet 2 instead? Or would that create other problems?

Thanks for the reponse.

I get what you are saying about everyone thinking their feature is a priority. But I don’t really see this as a feature, but a bug or short coming of a feature (new post notification). There is a difference in wanting something extra and wanting an existing feature to work properly.

I only figured out this wasn’t working after months of use. There are probably a lot of users out there that are using the plugin in the way I am, oblivious to the fact that they are sending some of their subscribers multiple e-mails about the same posts. You don’t warn people about this either.

I don’t really see how your hack would work. Someone is subscribed to cat1, cat2 and cat3. The post has cat1, cat,2 and cat3. He is in three lists and will receive three e-mails about his one post. How does your hack prevent this?

Thanks for your response.

I don’t understand the low priority though, I think it’s a core feature and most users won’t even notice they are sending out duplicate post notifications.

I’m going to see if I can have a developer take a look at it and otherwise I have to study alternatives for Mailpoet although I’m really dreading the idea of changing systems.

If I find a alternate solution I will let you know.

Did it with the plugin, thanks for your help!

Yes, i think that may be better. I just wanted to solve it without a plugin. Do you know if there is anything I should think of when switching to the plugin and turning of the one I made with code?

To be honest, I’m totally lost. If you have the time and patience, could you tell me which code to use where? This is the code for my plugin now:

function custom_post_type() {
	$labels = array(
		'name'  => _x( 'Blog', 'Blogpost General Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'singular_name'  => _x( 'Blog', 'Blogpost Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'menu_name'  => __( 'Blog post', 'text_domain' ),
		'parent_item_colon'  => __( 'Parent Item:', 'text_domain' ),
		'all_items'  => __( 'Alle posts', 'text_domain' ),
		'view_item'  => __( 'View Item', 'text_domain' ),
		'add_new_item'  => __( 'Add New Item', 'text_domain' ),
		'add_new'  => __( 'Nieuwe post', 'text_domain' ),
		'edit_item'  => __( 'Edit Item', 'text_domain' ),
		'update_item'  => __( 'Update Item', 'text_domain' ),
		'search_items'  => __( 'Search Item', 'text_domain' ),
		'not_found'  => __( 'Not found', 'text_domain' ),
		'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'text_domain' ),
	);
	$args = array(
		'label'  => __( 'blog', 'text_domain' ),
		'description'  => __( 'Post Type voor blogs', 'text_domain' ),
		'labels'  => $labels,
		'supports'  => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'custom-fields', ),
		'taxonomies'  => array( 'onderwerpen', ),
		'hierarchical'  => false,
		'public'  => true,
		'show_ui'  => true,
		'show_in_menu'  => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'  => true,
		'show_in_admin_bar'  => true,
		'menu_position'  => 5,
		'menu_icon'  => '',
		'can_export'  => true,
		'has_archive'  => true,
		'exclude_from_search' => false,
		'publicly_queryable'  => true,
		'capability_type'  => 'post',

	);
	register_post_type( 'blog', $args );
}
// Hook into the 'init' action
add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_type', 0 );
?>

Is this code correct? What do I still need to add to my functions.php?

Yes, I think I understood it wrongly. The taxonomies I listed in the code were the categories i wanted to use for the CPT.

Basically I want to use cat1, cat2, cat3 and cat4 for this new post type. How do I do it?

I’ve changed the capability type to post and I’ve removed the different taxonomies and made one called ‘subjects’. But I’m not sure what to do next.

Hi Joy,

Thanks for your response. That’s odd indeed. I got the code of a tutorial a while ago. This is not something I do daily. So what would I need to change in order for this to work?

Do I set the capability type to post? Is that enough or do I need to alter the code some more?

Okay, thanks for your response. I will keep an eye out.

Got it, thanks!

@amboutwe, Hi,

I do see more then one og:image. But it is not clear to me where it comes from. Maybe it is the theme because it uses a background image? Could you have a look? https://bit.ly/2uRtiYw

The dimensions off all the images are the same, 2:1. But there is still a small white space underneath the images. That’s what I would like to get rid of. https://bit.ly/2rD5IOW

@sharpscore

That did it! Thanks a lot!

@ultimatemembersupport

Have tried some more, also searched the theme’s translation file, but I still can’t fix it.
