I’m not familiar with this conflict, and couldn’t find any info about it on the plugin’s support forums, or on the plugin’s GitHub repository. Did you read about the conflict somewhere, or experience issues on your own site? If I have more information about the conflict, I’d be happy to take a look!
Thanks for the reply!
I found it in an old list from Jetpack.me: https://jetpack.me/support/getting-started-with-jetpack/known-issues/ I had a hard time finding anything relevant, as well, and that was many pages deep in one of my Google searches…
I have experienced it on my own site. Take a look at http://schneidan.com/subscribe
Edit: To clarify, if you attempt to subscribe via the Jetpack subscribe widget in the center of the page, you get redirected to email the page to a friend. My suspicion is bad-behavior in the way WP-Email decides whether to run? Really not clear to me, though.
Thanks!
Thank you! I must admit I had completely forgotten about this.
That’s something we’ll need to address with the WP-EMail author. I opened an issue here to keep track of the problem.
I’ll post again here as soon as I have news about this!
Thanks, Jeremy!
It’s worth noting that the Jetpack Subscription widget in my footer sidebar seems to work on my homepage (which is a templated page rather than the blog listing), but not other pages. WP-Email most be checking is_home() or is_frontpage(), so wherever it’s doing that it could probably checking some other condition that only its widget should be creating rather than just co-opting any kind of $_POST. Interestingly, though, it does not interfere with the Jetpack Contact Form I’m using on schneidan.com/contact. I have no idea what all this means, but maybe it will help find the problem!
Thanks,
Dan
Poking around, I noticed that WP-Email redirects to its email template if ’email’ has a value in POST. According to the notes, they added a filter to disable that. I’m not sure where you would filter that to allow both plugins to work (i.e., if I wanted users to be able to share my subscribe page by email)…
= 2.64 =
* NEW: Added in <code>wp_email_template_redirect</code> filter to allow other plugins disable template redirect when query var contains 'email'
