Note to readers: It has come to my attention that at least one reader who wished to be removed from the notification list for my blog when a new post was posted *couldn’t* get taken off the list by using the Subscribe2 app’s ‘Unsubscribe’ feature and repeatedly got an error message whenever he tried to unsubscribe. At the time the subscriber contacted me, I was unable to delete his email from the list. This was either a problem with the app or with Word Press, I was unsure. Well, months passed with no solution I could find online. I told him what he could do at his end but for whatever reason he didn’t do. And that was, because he uses gmail, to just click on the ! at the top of his incoming mail page and show the email from my site as being spam. Problem solved as that email app would automatically place any emails from my system into the spam folder. That would work for any email service.
Just recently he contacted me again mentioning he was still getting the notifications from my blog so I had reason to check online for a solution again and this time I found something! A thread about the problem and one of the code authors offering a code change to the internal program of the Subscribe2 app. I’m not much of a coder these days due to lack of practice but eventually, I did find where to insert the repair code and that did the trick. I’m now able to remove subscriber’s email addresses that the app was preventing. One thing about his address is that it was in the form *****.****@gmail.com. So it had a period between his first and last names and that seemed to trip up Subscribe2 so it wouldn’t allow me to delete it as it didn’t recognize it as a true email address. Other subscribers didn’t seem to have a problem like this.
But, to shorten this story, if you’ve tried unsuccessfully to unsubscribe from my Blog, I (probably) won’t send any ruffians to rough you up to help you change your mind, so try again if you wish. Should work now.
And now…on with the blog!
