We’ve been having some problems with the ‘Subscribe 2′ subscribe by email plugin in terms of people receiving updates to blogs they haven’t subscribed to and being unable to unsubscribe… consequently I’ve turned it off and will be testing for a solution in the near future. Apologies for any inconvenience.
In the meantime you could always try Feedblitz.

Hi James,
(Thanks for dropping by Sarsaparilla the other day BTW.) I have had a look in my blog and I had 12 subscribers - I was going to send them a message to let them know about this, but they seem to have disappeared! Where could they have got to?
If there’s anywhere I am not looking, please advise.
likewise, i had about 20 subscribers, all now disappeared. have tried using feedblitz but i’m concerned that many of my subscribers not being as tech-savvy as you or i, may be put off from subscribing again, would like to keep them informed as to what is happening…is there a subscriber list/file available?
Hmmm… I’ve reinstalled it so if you turn it on again you should get a list of subscribers to backup - will leave it on to see if this might have bumped the problem (I doubt if it has) but keep a copy of subscribers offline just in case.
Thanks James,
I’ve yet to receive a complaint from my subscribers about aught, will send them a message to check.
Recovery complete - hooray.
backed up now, many thanks
problems with feedblitz, perhaps you can help.
i signed up and when i set the initial feed to my correct homepage and then use their dashboard to ‘preview the generated email’ the feed it comes up with contain the wrong posts.
this is the feed that i’ve put in as my main syndication
http://woodchurchscience.edublogs.org/feed/rss
and yet when previewed in the feedblitz dashboard it comes up with whatever’s in http://edublogs.org/feed/rss
i’ve contacted phil@feedblitz.com who says that it looks like the edublogs site is redirecting the feed for the FeedBlitz user agent, because it works for them manually but inside FeedBlitz it doesn’t. it means that i have to contact edublogs support; they are happy to work with you to resolve the issue but from their end it looks like something edublogs are doing in response to their requests.
hope this makes sense: the bottom line is that feedblitz isn’t pointing at the right feed even when it says it is…they’ve checked and it doesn’t appear to be their problem, maybe its an edublogs issue, can you work with them to fix as presently neither subscribe 2 nor feedblitz work, sorry.
I’ve reinstalled another version of Subscribe2.. it’s not as funky as the one we were using but it looks like it might get over some of the problems it was causing. Please let me know any problems / how it goes.
For feedblitz just use http://woodchurchscience.edublogs.org/feed/
If they can’t recognise that then it could be there problem.
Cheers, James
thanks for that james, i tried all sorts of combinations of feed in feedblitz and all failed…
there alos appears to be a bug in new subscribe2
see below
it won’t let you submit any changes to subscrbe settings and the subscribe button to put it on a page is missing
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/edublogs/public_html/wp-inst/wp-content/plugins/subscribe2.php on line 382
Sigh, back to the old version… am going to need to make some time for this but could be hard at the moment: http://incsub.org/blog/2006/on-retraining-at-30
Hmmm… any way of incorporating a feed feature into our blogs yet? I’ve scoured the wp-admin options, but alas! I can’t see any way of adding automated subscriptions to my blog… :(
