    hi @guicmazeredo!

    So I installed this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-memory/ and after some trial and error I was able to get the memory limits set to:

    “WordPress Memory Limit (*): 128MB | Your usage now: 37MB | Total Php Server Memory (**): 256MB”

    originally, my WordPress Memory Limit was stuck at 40MB – which as you can see from my usage is borderline.

    I’m not sure what is causing the sudden uptick in memory usage, but since I now consistently have 70% available memory I am under no immediate pressure to fix this problem.

    I will take your recommendation under advisement and reinstall the plugin when time allows, and see if that reduces the memory usage.

    Thanks!

    I’m sure it’s related to that, judging from the error message. but this has never been a problem until now; and I’ve got the PHP memory limit set to 512mb (the max my webhost allows).

    hi!

    This plugin is not able to integrate into other forms. It simply adds a widget to anywhere on the site that can display a widget.

    Perhaps a way this could work for your users, is that they must fill out 2 separate forms: 1 Gravity form and 1 Sendy widget/form. You could add a required checkbox to your gravity form that says something like “I have subscribed to the mailing list via the subscribe form on the right”? this would be similar to the idea of requiring someone to check a box indicating they agree to the Terms of Service.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi!

    Have you added a Sendy Campaign Template to your WordPress site, for each Sendy list ID that you want users to subscribe to?

    The WordPress doesn’t know about your lists unless they have a Sendy Campaign Template associated with them and the Sendy Campaign Template(s) are set to “Active” (in the Edit screen for each template).

    It’s a little confusing, I know.

    First, add a widget and specify the Installation URL and API Key of your Sendy Install.
    Second, add all your Sendy Campaign Templates.
    Third, go back to the Widget settings, and select the checkbox next to each list you want to allow the user to subscribe to.

    Hope this helps!

    hi Tom,

    Can you explain what you mean by “editing a text page from the external view”?

    Once you’re logged into the WordPress admin, what are you clicking to get to the view where this bug is happening?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    hi Tom,

    That looks to be a separate error than the one I fixed in 1.6.0. I will take a look at this different error and push an update to the plugin when I have a fix.

    Thank you for your patience on this, and your willingness to report errors. The fix will help others who use the plugin in the future as well.

    Hi Tom,

    Though I was not able to reproduce the error on my test site, I was able to research the error and pinpoint the line of code that seems to cause your issue in some cases.

    You should be able to use the plugin without a critical error if you update to the latest version.

    If you are still seeing a critical error please let me know so I can dig further into the issue.

    Thank you for checking out my plug-in, I hope it meets your needs for your website!

    hi Tom,

    thank you for your feedback! I have not seen this error in the plugin before so thank you for reporting it. I will take a look at it this week and see if I can push an fix out for you.

    Thank you!

    no, currently there is no widget shortcode, though that is a great idea!

    As for the Sendy list IDs, each list ID would be added in a Sendy Campaign via this plugin. There is no other way, via this plugin, to include Sendy lists for the users to select.

    Sorry for the “no” answers, but hopefully this is helpful information for you.

    Thanks!

    Hi Hasse,

    There is currently no way in this plugin to send custom fields to Sendy.co, and I am not aware of there being any custom field functionality in Sendy’s API either.

    The best work flow with the current plugin is:
    1) Create a Sendy list (name it whatever you want). You could create 1 list for all petitions, or a separate list for each petition.
    2) Create a custom post type for each petition (ex: petition1, petition2, etc…)
    3) Create a Sendy Campaign Template, in this plugin, for each custom post type
    4) When a blog post author wants to send an update to his unique subscribers, he can just create a new petition using _his_ custom post type.

    Concerning hidden fields for custom data, as I said there is no way to transmit custom data between wordpress and the Sendy API at this time. If that functionality is added to the Sendy API in the future, that would be really powerful though!

    Hopefully this info gives you some guidance on how you can “get by” with this plugin. Best of luck!

    Hi Hasse,

    I do not have an ETA on the next plugin release yet. Unfortunately there is no way to create a new list through the Sendy API – which this plugin used to interface with Sendy. But if you already have the list created, you could assign that listID to a template in this plugin and specify a custom post type of β€œpetition”.

    Anyone on your petition list would get an email whenever a new petition is created.

    If you want each petition to have its own list with this plugin, you would have to have a separate custom post type for each petition. I know that not ideal, but perhaps segmentation would make this easier in the next version of the plugin.

    Hope this helps!

    thanks for the info, Menathor! that is all very helpful to know πŸ™‚

    Hi Menathor!

    Thank you, I’m glad this is such a useful plugin for you!

    Sendy does not give a way to pull a list of brands, or lists, via their API. So the list ID needs to be retrieved manually from Sendy to add it to this plugin.

    But each Sendy List ID’s is unique – across brands. So you can just pull the list ID for the specific list within a brand and that will give you what you need. If your brands are specific to your clients, you can give each client a login for just their brand and they will have no knowledge of the other brands that you have setup in your Sendy installation.

    As for more a more advanced editor, I agree the existing one is not the greatest. But it was a great first start! I have been researching ways to improve the editor, and will definitely take your specific feedback into consideration! thank you SO much for sharing your ideas! For what it’s worth, The current editor *does* handle any WP shortcodes you have setup on your blog – and there are several plugins that allow you to create/customize shortcodes. I like the idea of saving the Sendy template back to the Sendy installation too! That could be really useful.

    Hopefully this is helpful information. Thank you, again, for your kind words and helpful feedback!
