# WP-Email compatibility with Subscriptions

 * There was a Known Issue with the WP-Email plugin and the Jetpack Subscriptions
   widget listed in November, 2013. It does not appear to have been resolved. Is
   it an issue with the other plugin? Does anyone know what the issue actually is?
   I’m not above modifying WP-Email if that can fix it, but I can’t find an adequate
   replacement for it. I can’t find anyone who explains what the conflict is and
   it’s not at all obvious to me.
 * Thanks.

 * 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/](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](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](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/3486) 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'
       ```
