# Multiple Subscriber Groups?

 * I am still trying to figure out how to provide users 2 options for how often 
   they receive notifications – either daily or weekly.
 * Is the following S2 configuration possible?
 * 1. Create 2 classes of registrants.
    2. Ask registrants once they register which
   they prefer – if this cannot be done via the user profile I could senf them a
   separate email. 3. Manually send notifications to each group separately. 4. Everyone
   who selects weekly notification would receive the notification at the same time.
 * Your thoughts please?
 * Thanks!

 * This is not possible to configure easily and automatically in Subscribe2. The
   plugin operates in one mode or the other. It can be hacked to operate in both
   mode simultaneously but this isn’t really what you described as users would then
   get a daily summary AND a notification for each new post.
 * I guess you could create 2 new categories but never use these on a post; let’s
   say for example ‘daily’ and ‘weekly’. Users could assign themselves or be assigned
   by admin to their preferred category and then the email could be sent to all 
   subscribers in that group manually by an admin level user from Subscribe2->Send
   Email. So, possible to do but a bit clunky.

 * I would be willing to try this “manual approach” on an expeimental basis.
 * How would I create 2 categories and assign users to them?

 * You create categories in WordPress at Posts->Categories.
 * Assigning user to categories is going to be manual (and probably labour intensive);
   you would need to go to Subsicrb2->Subscribers and then the Registered Subscribers
   tab. By default you should be filtered on “All Registered Users”, for each one
   that you want to assign click on ‘edit’ below their email address (opening a 
   new tab in your browser would be useful here), this will open a page at Subscribe2-
   >Your Subscriptions but in red text near the top you will be told you are editing
   for another user. Then check the ‘category’ you want them subscribed to and update
   this settings.
 * After creating the 2 new categories you should also see them in the filter dropdown–
   initially with 0 subscribers. this will increase with each new subscriber you
   add to that category.
