Postalion – Newsletters and Email Subscribers

ບັນທຶກການປ່ຽນແປງ

1.7.4

• The Mobile preview (Logs, composer, templates) now shows an email the way a phone mail app does: a card laid out for a desktop width shrinks to the screen and long links wrap, so emails sent before 1.7.3 no longer look cut off there.

1.7.3

• Fixed: the confirmation email (and the “already on the list” note) had a fixed width and was cut off on phones and in the Mobile preview in Logs. They now fit any screen.
• Templates: a long link pasted into a newsletter wraps on phones instead of widening the email.

1.7.2

• Fixed: the form’s hidden anti-spam field was only moved off screen, so browser autofill could fill it in and a real sign-up was quietly dropped while the form said “check your inbox”. The field is now not rendered at all (bots still see it in the page source).
• A sign-up stopped by the anti-spam field is now written to Logs > System with its address (at most once an hour per visitor), so you can see it.
• Fixed: behind Cloudflare, the sign-up limit (10 an hour per visitor) counted Cloudflare’s addresses, so many visitors could share one limit. Postalion now uses the visitor’s address that Cloudflare passes on, only when the request really comes from Cloudflare. A postalion_client_ip filter covers other proxies.

1.7.1

• Fixed: a user of the site who signed up through a form (for example one with list=”…”) was told to check their inbox, but was not put on the list and received nothing. They now get a confirmation email and join the form’s list, tags and fields like any other visitor; the answer on the form is the same for everyone, so it does not reveal who has an account.
• Someone already subscribed who signs up again receives a short “you are already on the list” email (at most once an hour) instead of nothing, and the Activity log shows it.
• Unsubscribing a site user now also takes them off the lists they joined through a form; confirming a new sign-up turns newsletters back on for their account.
• The form’s hidden anti-spam field has a name that browser autofill and password managers leave alone (an autofilled field made real sign-ups look like spam).

1.7.0

• Three more templates: Programme (venues, festivals, courses), Shop (products and prices) and School (schools, parishes, associations). Eight in all, picked per newsletter.
• The digest and the new-post notification accept an add-on’s audience type (Postalion Pro’s segments), through the postalion_settings_audience action and the *_audience_ids options; a postalion_dashboard_cards action on the dashboard. No change for sites without the add-on.

1.6.0

• Preferences page: every email now carries a “Your preferences” link next to Unsubscribe, where a reader changes their name, their details and which lists they are on, instead of leaving altogether.
• Resend to people who did not open: on a sent newsletter with statistics on, a new action makes a draft addressed only to the people who did not open it; change the subject line and send.
• Hooks for add-ons: audience types (postalion_audience_types, postalion_audience_emails, postalion_describe_audience, postalion_compose_audience) and email links (postalion_email_action). They are what Postalion Pro uses; nothing changes for sites without it.

1.5.0

• Romanian translation shipped with the plugin (language packs from translate.wordpress.org take over when they exist).
• Import from Newsletter (The Newsletter Plugin): subscribers, statuses, lists and custom fields come over in batches, like the MailPoet import, under Settings.
• Digests and new-post notifications can be limited to categories (a “Culture” digest from a magazine’s culture section, subcategories included) and sent to everyone with a tag, not only to lists.
• The sign-up form as a native element in Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and Divi: drop it in, set the texts, the list, the tags and the custom fields, like the block. Other builders use their shortcode element with [postalion_form].

1.4.0

• Tags: labels on subscribers (“customer”, “webinar 2026”, “VIP”). Put them on by hand or in bulk on the Subscribers screen, from a form ([postalion_form tags=”webinar”] or the block’s Tags setting), from a “tags” column in a CSV import, or from code. Filter subscribers by tag, and send a newsletter to everyone who carries a tag.
• Custom fields: company, city, birthday, plan, anything you need to keep about a subscriber. Text, number, date or a choice from a list. Ask for them in a form (fields=”company, city”), import them from CSV columns, see them in the export, and use them in emails as {company}.
• New email variables: {first_name}, {last_name} and one per custom field; an unknown value is left empty instead of showing the variable.
• WooCommerce: with “Keep track of customers” on (Settings → Shop), a paid order tags the buyer “Customer” and keeps two fields, “Last order” and “Orders”, if they are a subscriber. Write to customers only, or mention {last_order} in an email. Nobody is subscribed by a purchase.
• The personal data export and erasure cover tags and custom fields. Lists, tags and fields are managed on one screen, Postalion → Lists & tags.

1.3.0

• Sign-up checkboxes for WPForms and Fluent Forms, and for Elementor Pro forms (beta): a ticked box subscribes the address from the form, with double opt-in if it is on.
• Web version of every newsletter: a “View in browser” link in the footer opens it on your site, addressed to “there” and counting nothing. It can be turned off in Settings.
• Public archive: the [postalion_archive] shortcode lists the newsletters sent to everyone (or to the lists you name), newest first.
• Digest of new posts: every day, week or month, at the hour you choose, the posts published since the last digest go out as one newsletter, to everyone or to chosen lists. Nothing is sent when there is nothing new. A button sends you a test digest first.

1.2.2

• Fix: some unsubscribe links answered “This link does not work” (site users with a one-digit ID, subscribers with ID 1–9 or 1000–9999, and some addresses). The links now work, including the ones in emails that already went out.
• Someone who unsubscribes while a newsletter is still going out no longer gets it from the batches that follow.

1.2.1

• A note on the dashboard asks for a review on WordPress.org once the first newsletter has gone out. It appears only on Postalion’s screens, and one answer makes it go away.

1.2.0

• Sending method: an SMTP server or a sending service can be set up in Settings, with a test button that tries the values before they are saved; the password is stored encrypted. Optionally the same server carries all the mail of the site.
• Import from MailPoet: subscribers, lists, statuses and sign-up dates come over in batches, without changing anything in MailPoet.
• After activation the dashboard opens and the first step sends the test email right there.
• The dashboard shows the sending method and links to the changelog.

1.1.0

• Lists: group subscribers, fill a list from a form, send to chosen lists or to site users only.
• Statistics, off by default: opens and clicks per newsletter, with the links clicked, counted on your own site.
• Welcome email and new post notification, both optional.
• The sign-up form as a block, with a live preview in the editor.
• An optional sign-up popup.
• Sign-up checkboxes for the registration form, comments, the WooCommerce checkout and Contact Form 7.
• postalion_subscribe() for developers; new filters for the popup and the post notification.

1.0.0

• First release.
