“Send Email” subject overridden

    Using subscribe2 for years …a great plugin.

    For the first time, I selected “send email” to send a special email to my subscribers, outside the normal weekly notices. In the screen “send email to subscribers” I inserted a *special subject* –however, when all the emails were sent (hit SEND key) the *special subject* was overridden by *subject* used by weekly emails.

    Is there a fix?

    BTW just purchased WPMQ for throttling emails..a perfect solution, working very well.

    This may be the problem…found code added to functions.php:

    /**
    * Subscribe2 – to change email subject line
    */

    function s2_subject_changes($subject) {
    return “Upper Saddle River Town Square’s Weekly Newsletter”;
    }

    add_filter(‘s2_email_subject’, ‘s2_subject_changes’);

    Not sure what it does (???) . Looks like “Upper Saddle River Town Square’s Weekly Newsletter’ overrides subject line….ALL the time. Is that correct ?

    Good work finding that function.php code, that is what is causing you the issue.

    If can be fixed by making the functions.php code a little more cautious. At the moment, the function is replacing the subject line in all cases without any checks.

    You could amend the function to check the passes subject line for the word ‘digest’ and only replace if that word is present.

    function s2_subject_changes( $subject ) {
	if ( stristr( $subject, 'digest' ) ) {
		$subject = "Upper Saddle River Town Square’s Weekly Newsletter";
	}
	return $subject;
}

add_filter( 's2_email_subject', 's2_subject_changes' );
