Frontend subscription options

    Hi there,

    I’m looking to replace ‘Subscribe To Category’ plugin (on a well-established 2 year old site) and have just discovered Subscribe2. So far it’s looking great! One question though:

    The [subscribe2] shortcode produces this text on the frontend:

    “You may manage your subscription options from your profile”
    (where ‘profile’ links to the backend subscription options page)

    I’m reading through the support questions to see if anyone else has asked this but so far only on about page 10 out of 140. Is there a way to display the subscription options on a frontend page?

    Thanks!

    To see the form on the front end you need to log out.

    If you want to see the category form unfortunately this isn’t possible – there did use to be an extension plugin to Subscribe2 that did that but the last time I looked it seems to have been discontinued.

    OK, thanks for the response. This isn’t great news but I’ll see if we can make it work somehow.

    We really don’t want the punters to see a WordPress backend, especially confusing WordPress nags like “WordPress 4.6.1 is available! Please inform the site administrator now”. I can’t think of a single good reason to show this to our readers.

    WordPress sometimes really don’t think things through do they? Hiding the update nags is relatively easy though with the following code added to a custom plugin on your site.

    /**
Hide the WordPress update nag for all but admin level users
*/
function hide_wp_update_notice() {
	if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
		remove_action( 'admin_notices', 'update_nag', 3 );
	}
} // end hide_wp_update_notice()
add_action( 'admin_menu','hide_wp_update_notice' );
