Hi Boas,

Thank you for trying out Post Notif and for the kind words; I appreciate it!

The categories are not presently visible on the subscription widget simply as a design decision to keep the widget small and minimize the work for the subscriber to complete the form.

With regards to the post categories being available for the subscriber to select on the confirmation page, that is existing functionality. Have you confirmed, in your settings (Settings >> Post Notif) that you are making categories available to subscribers? If so, they should be visible and selectable, by the subscriber when they confirm their subscription.

Thanks,
Devon

Hi Dan,

I did some experimenting and was able to include an image tag (including height and width properties), referencing an image in my Media Library, in the post notification email body, so I’m curious why it wasn’t working for you, prior to my suggestion to consider using @@featuredimage .

Post Notif’s emails are all HTML format as currently implemented (because I wanted to ensure that URLs came through, email clients permitting), so I am crossing my fingers that with some fiddling with your template you’d be able to avoid using both @@featuredimage and the additional plugin you installed.

Or perhaps you’re satisfied with the solution you’ve come up with, which is fine too. 🙂

Thanks,
Devon

Hi Dan,

Thanks for posting the details of the workaround you put in place for this situation.

If you feel this could be handled better directly in Post Notif I am open to it; I just need to figure out how best to implement it to provide sufficient flexibility without introducing any security issues. Let’s keep discussing this.

Thanks,
Devon

Hi Dan,

I released Post Notif 1.1.3 this morning, which should get you off the beta version of the plugin once you have a chance to apply the update.

Thank you for all the time you devoted to testing the various iterations of the new functionality; your feedback was exceptionally helpful and I sincerely appreciate it!

Thanks,
Devon

Hi Jeff,

I hope you’ve been able to get Post Notif to work for you or have found another plugin that works better for your site. Since I have not heard from you in several months, I’m marking this as resolved.

Thanks,
Devon

Hi oekoplatt,

Thanks for your help with testing Post Notif 1.1.3. I hope you’ll be willing to do some additional testing of 1.1.4, specifically in the area of batching.

Thanks,
Devon

Hi oekoplatt,

I have to apologize; as I mentioned via email, as Post Notif v1.1.3 (released this morning), containing the oft-requested addition of “auto-send” functionality, took much longer than I anticipated, so I made the decision to push consideration of shortcode functionality and bolstering of widget configuration to the next release (along with email batching, which I know is near and dear to your heart 🙂 . I’ll be getting rolling on this very soon.

Thanks for your patience,
Devon
