@mpromp2,
Are you running any caching plugins on your blog?
Have you tried from another browser or computer? If so, do you see the same number?
Also, are these 50 new subscribers per day all confirming too or are they unconfirmed public subscribers?
No caching plugins. I have 19,000+ subscribers now and it still shows I only have 13,000+. This si the same numer I had when I put the widget up about two weeks ago. As for confirmed, unconfirmed or public, I don’t see either of those as options. I only see subscribers (19,018) and administrator (1).
@mpromp2,
Okay, it sounds like you have only Registered Users then. It also sounds like you are looking at WordPress users who are registered at the lowest level – ‘Subscribers’. This is not quite the same as a Subscribe2 active Subscription.
Have a look in Subscribe2->Subscribers, under the Registered Subscribers tab. The number of ‘Registered Users’ there should match your total number of users – so 19,000+. You should also see ‘Registered Subscribers’ and that will be the 13,000+ number. The difference is the number of people who are registered to your blog but who have no active subscription, so they have no checked categories or have opted out of the digest email at Subscribe->Your Subscriptions.
When I initially added the widget, the number matched the number of subscribers I had 13,419. The widget still says the same number, but when I click on subscribers, that number no longer applies to anything. Now it says registered users 19,025. Plus, why do they have to check a category? Seems if they don’t select one category, it should default to subscribing to all or all emails. Is this choice clear?
@mpromp2,
but when I click on subscribers, that number no longer applies to anything.
I don’t know what you mean by this. I explained above that there are ‘subscribers’ in terms of WordPress User accounts and ‘subscribers’ in term of Subscribe2. In the above sentence I don’t know which you are talking about.
Plus, why do they have to check a category?
So that they uncheck categories so unsubscribe. There is no way for a user in WordPress to delete their own account so any user on your site who wanted to unsubscribe would need their account erasing if Subscribe2 worked in the way you propose. If they uncheck all categories they remain a WordPress level user but are unsubscribed in Subscribe2 – without any intervention from you. They can also visit again later and re-subscribe – again without any intervention from you.
