It was actually a design decision to keep user registration and subscriptions seperated. * I look forward to seeing some of your custom created plugins, and maybe some of them will end up in the plugin 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SubMe] Questions about this plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/questions-about-this-plugin-1/) * [SubMe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supongo/) * (@supongo) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/questions-about-this-plugin-1/#post-5497049) * Sorry for the late reply, but sadly I wasn’t able to reply sooner. * 1. Although I don’t think performance should not be too much of an issue, I haven’t tested it with 50,000 email addresses. When a new post is published and the cron functionality is used, then an email is prepared for each subscriber and it will be stored in the database. I can image that this may take a few seconds with large amount of subscribers. However, this also depends on the web/database server configuration. * 2. At this stage there are no plans for managing bounce messages. This requires extra features, such as reading out a bounce mailbox via pop3 or imap. There may already be plugins that can handle this, but I’m not sure. I also do not know how easily you can configure them to work the SubMe database schema. * 3. At the moment no, but this is something that might be added later on. * 4. Honestly, there are no plans for implementing this feature in the near future. Before such a feature will be implemented, there needs to be decided on how settings can be managed by subscribers. Another feature we’ve been asked about before is the option to subscribe to a specific category or author. We like to organize these features first, before we jump into things. Another issue is time, but this is probably something you are very familiar with yourself. * I’m sorry if this plugin doesn’t meet all your needs, but thank you very much for all the thoughts you have put into this and help improve the quality of this plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SubMe] Questions about this plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/questions-about-this-plugin-1/) * [SubMe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supongo/) * (@supongo) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/questions-about-this-plugin-1/#post-5496868) * [@iamonlythird](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamonlythird/), * Thank you for your remarks and suggestions. Hopefully, my answers to your questions are of any use to you. * 1. This is a good question which has been asked before. In the [FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/subme/faq/) you can find the solution. Eventually, this will be updated in a manner that is more suitable for everybody and should solve this problem. * 2. By the default the settings are only available to the admin of your site. However, in some situations you may want other WordPress users of your site to be able to configure certain parts of this plugin. Therefore, you can delegate some of these rights to them. * 3. By default, WordPress uses the following email address: [wordpress@yoursite.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supongo/replies/wordpress@yoursite.com?output_format=md). This setting allows you to override the default value. * 4. The WP-cron feature does indeed depent on visitors, or the hoster of your website may have configured something on the system that triggers the WP-cron. The number of subscribers should not be an issue. If the ‘Cron jobs enabled’ option is set to ‘yes’, then an email is prepared for every subscriber and placed in queue. Later, when the WP-cron kicks in it will check if the number of minutes configured in ‘How often does the cron jon run’ has passed. When it has, the number of ‘Maximum number of emails allowed to send per burst’ are sent from the queue. * It is important to think of how long it may take to send all emails in the queue. For example, if your hoster only allows you to send 1,000 emails per hour, then it will take at least 50 hours to send all 50,000 emails. * 5. The Return-Path is a more advanced setting. To keep things simple, the Return- Path is used to send bounce messages to (e.g. when a mail is not accepted by a mail server). This is not always the same as the From address. Not all hosters allow you to change this setting, but if you are allowed to do so, then it is best to set the Return-Path address to the same value as that of the From address. Some mail providers or mail clients use the Return-Path value to guess if an email is spam. * 6. When the widget is enabled in the plugin, it still needs to be moved to a location on your website. WordPress allows you to do this by going to Appearance- > Widgets. When the widget is enabled in the SubMe plugin, then you should see it between the other widgets. * 7. Good suggestion. Currently, there are no plans on making larger changes, but this is a feature I would consider for future work. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SubMe] Can't activate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-activate-18/) * [SubMe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supongo/) * (@supongo) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-activate-18/#post-5320683) * [@lweedman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lweedman/), * Are you using PHP version >= 5.3.0? * I think the error message may be related to the namespace introduction in PHP 5.3.0.
