Unsubscribing Registered users fails

    Running Subscribe2 9.0.

    In our setup all new wp-users are auto-subscribed to all posts on the WordPress blog. A have a few registered users, who have left our organization, and we would like to keep their accounts in wordpress for historic reasons, but unsubscribe them from subscribe2 mails.

    It ought to be possible to unsubscribe them from the page “/wp-admin/admin.php?page=s2_tools&tab=registered”, but when I select a user, choose delete in the bulk actions drop down and press Apply it fails.

    The wording seems to suggest I’m trying to delete the user account, not the subscribtion, and the emailaddress I tried to unsubscribe is still on the page when the page has reloaded.

    Am I off on a wrong path or should this be the way to unsubscribe users from notifications?

    @mahler,

    There is a bug in 9.0 whereby the delete operation fails. It will completely delete the user account though which is not what you want in your description.

    You would be better server clicking the word ‘edit’ below their email address and uncheck all categories to disable emails to their address.

    Is the User Account deletion the intended effect, if the bug didn’t exist?

    – Somehow I would find it illogical, that a plugin such as Subscribe2, would completely delete the user account. Deleting settings limited to the scope of the plugin (- the subscriptions) would be much more logical in my mind.

    @mahler,

    Yes. To ‘delete’ setting you need to unsubscribe as suggested above. If it only deleted Subscribe2 settings I would be more specific than just ‘Delete’ in the drop down.

    The Edit option only works if there’s no “Compulsory categories”. If you have any of those active, it seems you can’t unsubscribe the user.

    I would prefer to find a way to do it by the book, but it seems that the only option (if compulsolry categories exist), would be a hack something like this:

    @mahler,

    Subscribe2 takes the compulsory categories to be exactly that – compulsory. Users cannot opt out if those categories unless they are deleted from the database unless you hack the plugin through its API.

    Your hack looks good to me to deliver what your are describing.
