Hey There,
Thanks again for the information. You are correct. My last post was sent to subscribers. Yay! The only change that I made to this WordPress site was to actually check the “Follow Blog” checkbox under the “Discussion Settings” menu.
I did think of something else, though. Last week I deactivated Jetpack on my other WordPress site. If the “Follow” checkbox wasn’t what solved the problem, perhaps it was a conflict between having Jetpack setup on two sites using the same WordPress account.
Maybe when I post my next post, I’ll do a test post with the box unchecked and see if it sends the notification.At any rate, thanks again for all your help.
Thanks for checking on that stuff, Jeremy. I appreciate it.
I noticed that under “Discussion Settings” that I had unchecked the “Follow Blog” button, thinking that I didn’t want there to be a “Follow Blog” button in the comment form. Now I wonder if that is the source of my problem. Is that possible? With that box unchecked, I still was able to get subscribers, so I’m not sure if that had an effect or not.
In answer to your question, when I post, I do not use a plugin, but my theme has some unusual posting features. I’m using Solar v1.0 from Progression Studios. Here’s how posting works: 1. I choose “Post”, “Add New”. I have an option on the right for “Post Format” I can choose from “Standard” “Gallery” “Video” “Audio” “Link”. I choose “Video” because the site is designed as a web series. If I select “Video” I then select a category for my post. Next, I add a video embed code in field inside a special “Post Formats” box. I then add relevant tags, a featured image, and then I publish. My posts are set to show up on my “Episodes” page, rather than the front page of my website.
Thanks again for your help.mtblack: Thank you for the helpful suggestions. Sadly, I didn’t find any of the emails in my spam folder. After installing the check-email plugin, the test email came right to my inbox. Unfortunately, notifications of new posts do not. I even retested by making my current post a draft and republishing with new content.
