WP Autoresponder http://www.wpresponder.com Email Newsletter and Follow Up Autoresponder Plugin For Wordpress Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:26:59 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 WP Autoresponder v5.2.6 Released! http://www.wpresponder.com/wp-autoresponder-v5-2-6-released/ http://www.wpresponder.com/wp-autoresponder-v5-2-6-released/#comments Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:03:29 +0000 Rajasekharan http://www.wpresponder.com/?p=69977 A new version of WP Autoresponder has been released. Version 5.2.6 is available for  download here.

What’s new in this release?

  • Developers’ API: Some developer API actions have been added so that other WordPress developers can write plugins that work with or extend WP Autoresponder. Some actions and filters have been added to the plugin. They will be documented on this site shortly.
  • Multiple Deliveries Fixed: Having more than 2000-4000 blog subscribers caused the plugin to start sending repeated copies of the same email again and again. This issue has been fixed.
  • Blog categories subscriptions separated : A separate background process has been created that will deliver blog categories. There were major issues in previous versions wherein blog deliveries will not happen without atleast one subscriber to receive all posts published on the blog.
  • Deleted emails will not be delivered: Previous versions suffered the problem of having deleted emails continue to deliver to subscribers after they were placed in queue.
  • Deletion of Newsletters - Now you can delete newsletters using the delete button placed against the Newsletter name in the Newsletters section.
  • Revamped Export Feature - The previous versions’ export feature had a tendency to crash the database server or hang up indefinitely when an export is performed on a newsletter with more than 5-6 custom fields. This version introduces an export feature that will work regardless of the number of custom fields.
This plugin still has a LONG way to go. Please keep updating the plugin and consider supporting development by making a donation!

WordPress.org at one time provided free hosting and Trac access to all plugins. But that was a long time ago. The plugin repository’s Trac used for issue tracking is now defunct.

New accounts are no longer being issued. It is also incredibly hard to create an account there – you have to first create a WordPress.org account and then use the same credential to log in again just to post an issue at the plugin repository.

Subversion – the source code management system used by WordPress.org, I find, is very difficult to use. There is also this huge mental block surrounding using the repository given one mistake could mean tens of thousands of websites using WP Autoresponder will be affected.

GitHub was perfect for these needs. It has a central issue tracking and source code repository. Anyone can fork, view and open issues all at the same place.

If you face any issue with WP Autoresponder. Please feel free to report an issue in at this page.

Developer Contributions Are Welcome

If you have found an issue, please feel free to fork it and go to work on the issue. I am open to bug fixes and am very much able to take patches. If your fork fixes a major issue in the plugin, I will gladly merge it into the main source.
