   to just beating my head against my keyboard, which is pretty much where I’m at

 * Yeah I think this is just an honest to god bug, I can get it to happen on my 
   testing server too. Unfortunately the original author of AutoChimp isn’t supporting
   it anymore, but I’ll see if I can come up with a fix.

 * Is it the campaign email, or the opt-in email that’s getting sent multiple times?
 * If it’s the campaign email you can try disabling the option to immediately send
   the campaign. That will let you review each email as it goes out. Also make sure‘
   Create a campaign only once.’ is checked.

 * Theonion – How many users do you have? I find that if I have more than a few 
   hundred users the sync times out. I’m working on a fix but your best option right
   now might be to export a list of user email addresses and manually import it 
   into mail chimp.
 * quantumvirtual – by default MailChimp sends a confirmation email to people who
   sign up for your mailing list (including through WordPress). If you don’t want
   this confirmation sent out you’ll need to check the box that says ‘Bypass the
   MailChimp double opt-in’
 * In order to get the plugin to email posts to your subscribers you’ll need to 
   set up at least a default category mapping on the campaigns tab. Click “Add new
   post category mapping” and select a template (which you’ll also need to create
   over on the MailChimp side of things).

 * After looking at a bunch of other options I decided that Autochimp is still the
   right tool for my use case, and I’m sad that it’s fallen out of development.
 * It actually is still working for my needs (sync a small list of users to mailchimp
   and notify them when new posts go up) but could definitely use some love. I extended
   it to limit signups to specific user roles (something I needed) and I’m going
   to spend some time with it and see if I can duplicate / resolve some of the issues
   other folks are having.
 * I’m working on setting up php unit tests for autochimp, if anyone is interested
   it’s up on github (not that there’s much to see yet): [https://github.com/offbeat-empire/autochimp](https://github.com/offbeat-empire/autochimp)

 * I’ve been following this thread with great interest. This plugin is the only 
   one that has provided a rational solution to the onslaught of spammer registrations
   we get. Unfortunately we’ve been getting a ton of “Spoofed IP” false positives
   lately, and the captcha page doesn’t play nice with one of our plugins (CiviCRM
   specifcally).
 * I had to disable the plugin as a workaround, and I’m super bummed because until
   now it has been a lifesaver for us. I know you’re stopping development on this
   in favor of other projects, but the option to disable the “Spoofed IP” check 
   would be a much appreciated work around until we can find another solution.

 * (@kellbot)
 * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filtering-post-types/#post-4693918)
 * I managed to add filters for my custom post types with a few tweaks to the plugin
   code.
    The basic process, for anyone who wants to do it on their own:
 * Modify sphinx.conf to include a new attribute, isForum (or whatever post type)
   and edit all four sql statements to query this post type.
 * Edit /wordpress-sphinx-plugin/php/sphinxsearch_frontend.php and mimic the structures
   used for comment/post/page/tag filtering. There are a handful of places this 
   needs to be done.
 * Edit the widget/panel template files to include the appropriate checkboxes.
 * Obviously these changes will be lost on update, so right now I’ll have to hand-
   merge updates. I’m going to try to write a few hooks that would make this a more
   generic process for others, if you’re accepting mods to the plugin.

 * I managed to filter out the stuff I didn’t want by adding a link to the sphinx
   config explicitly including only the ones I did.
 *     ```
       p.post_status = 'publish' \
               group by p.ID

       p.post_status = 'publish' and \
       	p.post_type IN ('post', 'topic', 'reply', 'page') \
               group by p.ID
       ```
   
 * Since I don’t see any filters / hooks in the plugin I guess I’ll have to fork
   it to support selectors for custom post types.

 *  Thread Starter [kellbot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kellbot/)
 * (@kellbot)
 * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-and-filters/#post-4184145)
 * Thanks for the quick response. To clarify: the filters don’t appear to be applied
   to the rest of the_content if I use the shortcode. The shortcode looks great.
   What’s really weird is that the rest of the content isn’t getting its curly quotes
   filtered out. I did a ton of testing, and the only difference between posts which
   appear correct (straight quotes) and incorrect (curly quotes) is the presence
   of my shortcode. If I comment out the call to yarpp_related() in the shortcode,
   quotes are once again straight as intended.
 * The filter we’re using to remove curly quotes is [Unfancy Quote](http://wordpress.org/plugins/sem-unfancy-quote/).
   It’s dead simple.
 * I know this is an off-label use, but I’m totally baffled by this behavior.

 * (@kellbot)
 * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-expiring-on-wrong-date/#post-3997642)
 * I figured out why this is happening:
 * We’ve been using Post Expirator for a long time. We used to expire our posts 
   a year from creation, but then switched to expiring all of them at the end of
   the month.
 * It looks like at some point, the arguments stored in wp cron changed from being
   stored as a string to an integer. So the post ID argument went from being “1776”
   to just 1776. WordPress apparently considers these two different values, and 
   as a result wasn’t deleting the old cron item when we updated our expiration 
   dates.
 * It would be great if the plugin could be updated to double check for the older
   style entries when updating, just so those get cleared too. Meanwhile I’m hand
   cleaning the cron tasks of errant items.

 * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-expiring-on-wrong-date/#post-3997641)
 * Some more background on this problem: looking at the Cron schedule there are 
   two expiration events: one set for a year after the publication date, and also
   the correct one. We don’t have any default date set in the Post Expirator settings.
 * The edit post page shows the correct date.
    If I update or change the expiration
   date, the date which was correct before will change, but the first incorrect 
   date still persists. It’s like it isn’t clearing all of them out or something.

 * You can make an event span multiple days (long events), but so far I’ve not seen
   a way to make a single event have multiple non-consecutive days.
 * It’s functionality I’m interested in myself, so I might take a stab at writing
   an add-on to do so if it’s not a feature that’s already supported.
