Hi! I’ve started a new blog through WordPress and although I haven’t fully “launched” it, I’ve shared it with a couple friends to make sure the email subscription option works. With the first friend, it didn’t initially until we realized that it requires the subscriber to “confirm” the subscription. With the second, they entered their email on the website and then… nothing. It says “subscribed” to them, but they received no email and don’t show up in my subscriber/follow list nor did I get an email notification of their subscription like I did with the other friend. And because this friend already put in their email address in, they can’t re-enter it.
Any idea how to fix this or what’s even going on? I’m more familiar with Substack, which I already use for other purposes, and this process is way more streamlined from the user experience. I went with WordPress because for the focus of this particular work, I preferred the options and layouts WordPress provided and now I’ve already sunk a bunch of work into making the blog look the way I want to. I could start over and just make a secondary Substack, but I’d really rather not, however I don’t want to launch the blog fully and have a bunch of problems for subscribers.
