I only intend to share the content with those who choose to subscribe (anyone who stumbles on to the content via a Search is welcome to view it). I prefer word-of-mouth referrals vs a wide broadcast - so that I'm not having to manage people looking for an argument. OK, so it's a matter of filtering ...

OK, thanks - I thought that I'd disabled them, incoming and outgoing, at the same time. So, that additional plugin would prevent Serendipity from alerting the source URL that I cited their URL? Since Trackbacks are discouraged, due to a reported pattern of abuse, wouldn't they have incoming Trackbac...

I just observed something else I hadn't previously noticed ... When a New Entry is Saved - there are popups that seek and fail to find Trackbacks. I presume that this showed up now because I just included some quoted text with several embedded URLS, and included an additional URL. I'd not previously...

The theme seems to be doing just what it should - a popup at the top notifying that the email notifications are being sent. There must already be a trigger - because it causes that popup. So, capturing that trigger then sending the emails from the subscription file seems to be the only missing piece...

Do I correctly presume that this piece of Configuration is embedded in the Theme? Update notification Show the update notification in the Dashboard, and for which channel? (Choices are Stable, Beta, and No) - so, it can be toggled off. Is it fair to presume that nothing happens if Beta is selected? ...

Understood. I sure hope someone doesn't just remove the message and abandon the feature. I wish I had the skills to fix this myself. Is it possible that code from another open source project could be modified for the purpose, rather than building something from scratch? Lots of other blogs have emai...

Just checking-in.
Has there been any response to your email notification "bug" report, please?

Oh, right. That's a mistake. Why it happened: A dev wanted to implement a subscription feature, but we couldn't agree on the implementation. It seems like the language constant changes were added anyway. I'll open a bug - though maybe this can be used as an occasion to just implement the subscripti...

BTW: When I click on SAVE after adding a new post - there's a pop-up that says it is sending notifications. Why would it say that if it's not actually doing that? Serendipity is now saving your entry, sending emails to subscribers, creating trackbacks and performing possible XML-RPC calls. This may ...

Bluehost uses smtp.oxcs.bluehost.com as the SMTP server for sending emails. When setting up the SMTP server, you should use the following details: SMTP Host: smtp.oxcs.bluehost.com SMTP Port: 465 (for SSL/TLS) SMTP Username: Your full email address (name@domain.com) SMTP Password: Your mailbox pass...

Wow, I didn't know that any blog lacked that feature. I'm surprised that no one has created a plugin for it. I'd rather the blog not be dependent on another provider https://blogtrottr.com/ or https://www.mailerlite.com/features/rss-to-email for this functionality. I'll look at what Bluehost offers ...

I see this plugin, but it doesn't sound like what you're referring to:

Announce entries
serendipity_event_weblogping
version 1.10.1 (GPL, Last Updated 2025-03-01)
Serendipity Team
Serendipity >= 2.4
Send notification of new entries to online services

I'm not sure where else to look ...

I just observed that the subscribed user is not receiving email notifications when a new post is made to the blog.
Where should I begin looking for that, please?
Thanks!

Done.

I'll report back if we see any more of them.

Thanks.

From what I'm reading about Trackbacks - it would seem best to just disable them for now.

I'm not aware of one to which I'd immediately choose to 'link'.

Am I understanding Trackbacks correctly, please?
