### Read what clients have to say:

> As many of my subscribers won't be too technical with computers, or use facebook/twitter etc., I was looking for a plug in that would be easy to use from a subscribers point of view. This works very well - the subscriber doesn't have to mess about with member settings and completing a profile etc, or have to opt out of categories, tags and such...they only have to enter their name and email address in a widget or page where the shortcode has been placed, then later click a link in a confirmatory email, and they're all set up to receive new posts updates. SIMPLE and effective. Well done to the developer, this is great as it's flexible and easy for the webmaster to set up and customise, but more importantly it's end user friendly.
> - [RegTheDonk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-1139)

And here's another customer's review:

> I have tried quite a few subscribe by email type plugins and this by far blows them all out of the water. Beautiful emails and and great backend design for the admin. This works so nice and works well with SMTP solutions
> - [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-email-subscriber-plugin)

And one more:

> This works very well indeed... It does all the necessary things for a newsletter/email list(s)... It is simple, clean, easy to engage, and looks good... I was also easily able to do some styling on the input forms by adding its widget css into my child's style.css file and add and/or change some properties and values... Thanks much for making this available and staying on top of it... :-)

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= 1. Notification Emails are not being received by Subscribers? =

Plugin Settings:

* Make sure you are using latest version of Email Subscribers.
* Then make sure that you have followed all the steps listed here : [Configure notification email to subscribers when new posts are published](http://www.gopiplus.com/work/2014/05/06/email-subscribers-wordpress-plugin-notifications-settings/).
* Also check that the new post that you are publishing, that category is checked under the Notification tab. Because if that category is not checked, then post published to that category won't be send to subscribers.
* Also, just for testing, create one sample notification and try sending it to 1 or 2 subscribers (including yourself) and then check if you are receiving the emails or not.
* If you are sending emails using Cron, then in Cron, initially you can send only 50 emails per hour and this value can be changed from WordPress Dashboard -> Email Subscribers -> Cron Mail -> Cron Count.
* You can also ask your Subscriber's to check in their SPAM/JUNK folder as the emails might be ending up there.

Host/Server End Settings:

Sometimes, there is a delay of sending emails from the server due to excess number of emails being send. Have a check with your Host Provider / System Administrator if
* the emails are being send, by checking in the email log file
* the emails are getting bounced back from the server
* your host provider has not blocked email domains to whom you are sending notifications

If your Host Provider is blocking the emails that you are sending, then try sending emails in Plain Text format instead of HTML format (setting available inside plugin) and check.
If your Host Provider is not blocking the emails that you are sending and you are getting emails successfully send notice and record of emails send in email log file also, then there is a possibility that your Subscriber's Host Provider is blocking the emails.
