I understand the standard Subscription plugin, however I also have an Auto-Subscription plugin that I really want to have working… but I have no idea how to use it. Also its documentation is rather vague.
Can anyone walk me through how to properly enable the Auto-Subscription (or member subscriptions, whatever its called idr) plugin? I have both the standard subscription, AND the auto-subscription plugins enabled… I just don’t know how to enable it for certain user groups.
Hey Bluedrake42,
Membership Subscribe can only be used when setting up a usergroup with permissions on a forum, not for forums that already have usergroup and permission sets set up.
For example once the plugin is enabled – When you create a forum, after selecting usergroup and the chosen permission set you should then have another panel sub section ‘Auto Subscribe Membership to Forum’ where you can check the button and save.
Hope that helps!
Hm I still don’t see anything, could you possibly show me a screenshot? I must not be understanding this properly. I think if I can navigate to the right place where this is enabled I should be able to figure out everything from there, but I don’t know where to go in the first place =/
And I do have it installed, I see it says Membership Subscribe with an installed check next to it in my plugins forum menu
So it’s installed and also activated?
Then the first thing to check would be that the permission set you are trying to use has the ‘Can subscribe to forums (if enabled) and topics’ permission enabled. You can check this in Forum > Permissions > Manage Permission Sets >. Find the permission set, edit, and look under the ‘General’ panel.
Yeah installed and activated =/ and I also already had the “can subscribe to forums” permission enabled. Technically I have all the prereqs enabled =/ not sure why its not showing correctly
Nor me but it is the second item you have said is not displaying itself as expected. How about caching? I am unaware of any actual data caching tools for the WP admin but maybe you have one you are using I have not encountered before? Is that possible?
Not that I know of, my entire WP plugin list is as follows:
|
||
| Birds Custom Login | ||
| Crystal Skull types | ||
| DM Confirm Email | ||
| LayerSlider WP (shared on wplocker.com) | ||
|
|
||
| Members | ||
| Multiple Post Thumbnails | ||
| Peter’s Login Redirect | ||
| Simple Members Only | ||
| Simple:Press | ||
| UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore | ||
| User Profile Picture | ||
| Wise Chat | ||
| WP Google Fonts | ||
| Wp Mail Bank | ||
| WPBakery Visual Composer | ||
Sorry those had links too, I guess I’m not allowed to have more than 10 links in a post.
Let me know if anything looks suspicious though and I’ll link you the plugin profile for it.
Tried tinkering around more, still can’t get the member subscriptions to show =/ perhaps there’s a different version I should have installed?
confused…are we talking subscriptions or membership subscribe (is that what you mean by auto subscribe)?? two different plugins…
in post #8 you showed a permission set but not clear which users groups (and thus which users) it applies too… you have to take a permission set and combine it with a usergoup and assign then to forums to actually have the permissions applied… is that what you have done? or are you looking for subscriptions as admin?
might be easier if we could actually see the admin… can you provide us a temp account to play with?
Yes sorry, I’m having trouble with Membership Subscribe, but the dependent subscription plugin is installed as well.
I have all permissions enabled for it, so there isn’t a permission without it enabled, and all users have those permissions.
Yup! I’ll private message you the login details!
if you send us info, please send to all of us – Mr Papa, Yellow Swordfish, and Ike… and please link back to this topic so we know what it is regrading… and we will take a look…
