Are you pasting your content in from Word or some similar application?

Hi – great plugin! Does exactly what I needed, but… seems to sometimes substitute quote characters for question marks in the email of my post. Is that a known issue? Where do I start trying to troubleshoot it?

Hi Brian,

Its me again, I have moved by wp blog from windows base to linux, everything seems to be working perfectly except for the email notifications. When I make posting on my blog all users are notified of the same but when I comment on a posting only the admin gets the notification but not the other registered mailing ids. I do not think it can be with regarding the mailing ids cos they seem to be getting the posting mail. Can you please help as to how I can get this issue sorted out.

Thank you in advance,

Kiran

Brian, I logged into my database… you have mentioned “if they’re being placed in the future dated table”… how to know that? if they are being placed there, how to rectify it? or should i delete the file wp_email_list_future.php?

Sorry, I am new to all this. I have access to MySQL. Where do I look to see what’s being placed in the future dated table?
Many thanks,
Quakerkat (I’m another Kate, but did not want to cause confusion!)

Bug fix for this is posted in a comment below. (I think)

Bug Found which is causing DB errors after upgrading to wp 1.5.2:

Line 19 of index.php currently reads:
include (“$DOCUMENT_ROOT/maillist/wpemn_config.php”);
But Should read:
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . “/maillist/wpemn_config.php”);

I am getting the same types of error messages. This happened after I upgraded from WP to 1.5.2.

All errors are referring to “DB: No Database Selected”

Go into your database and take a look and see if they’re being placed in the future dated table.

Go into your database and take a look and see if they’re being placed in the future dated table. It sounds like it may be the time zone issue other people are having above.

Also, your site must be visited for the future notification check to be triggered, so that probably accounts for the time lag and why some people opt to configure a cron job.

Hi Brian/Kate,
I solved one problem.

Kate: Follow this.
I installed the maillist inside the wordpress and had the link in index.php as
include (ABSPATH.”maillist/wpemn_config.php”);

and everything looked fine and even mails sent from inside email notification under Manage is working fine.

Brian:
THe problem now is: if i post an article, it is not being sent automatically to the subscribers. I followed the above thread and still its not working. am in India, Chennai. so anything to do with timing? if so how to go about it?

Thanks in Advance
regards
Krishna

No Brian, It is in the root only. am confused about the line 19 thing. and no other errors except. If it gets solved then I can go ahead to check whether the post are being sent or not.

I guess Kate also faces the same problem. Can you help us out? Thank so much and waiting for your reply.
regards
Krishna

Hi,

I am having a problem with a time delay in email notifications. We are running email notification 2.3.0, WordPress 1.5.2. Notify set to “Yes”, post status set to “Publish” and are posts are not future dated. But there is a time lag of anywhere from 3 hours to 2 days from the time the post is made, until the email notification comes.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Many thanks!

Are the e-mail notification tables in the same database as WordPress?

Are you getting any other errors?

By: Kate

Kate — Fri, 02 Dec 2005 23:43:58 +0000

Krishna, I’m getting the same error: Could not successfully run query (SELECT * FROM wp_email_list) from DB: No Database Selected

I’ve read most comments; there is (I think) a solution but I couldn’t figure it out to save my life. Help!

Since the mailing happens server side, I don’t know why your browser would make a difference.

What is your server set up, which version of WP & which version of the plugin?

Also, do you have any other plugins installed that might be conflicting?

Or…. could this have something to do with FireFox/Safari versus IE?
Seems that with IE the e-mails do get out…
