202501331-1149. And to my prolific commenter, whom I almost forgot, I might have the following answers to your last few comments.
But because I was too caught-up with designing my weblog and did yet another all-nighter, I did NOT have the time to find out WTF is going on/wrong!
To probably answer your “comments”, there is a feature for users of Business plan upgrades that “Allows readers to subscribe to your posts or comments, and receive notifications of new content by email. Learn more – Privacy Information“.
So when I clicked the “View and Add Subscribers” link, there is a banner on the top of the page that says: “Add subscribers to your site and send them a free or paid newsletter.”
This page is located under the Dashboard > Settings > Discussion Settings where we could: “Control how people interact with your site through comments. Learn more.”
The current time is 20250131-1202 PST.
I just reviewed the Subscribers to my site and deleted/removed ALL visitors to new posts and comments via email!
By default Jetpack Newsletter is deactivated!
But I wanted to “test” this feature out and saw that most subscribers/visitors have “gulag” email accounts!
At least one subscriber/visitor is in marketing and I have a deep aversion to advertising and marketing, because I’m “that” gullible.
I just “deactivated” this paid upgrade feature and it’s back to “default”.
Nobody should be receiving emails of NEWSLETTERS, which I think is really meant for businesses.
(I recall MM long ago mentioned how my content edits are showing up in her emails. So that’s why I should NOT have allowed sending out emails!)
I hope this a possible reason as to why John Jr saw a “form” for registered members.
It’s strange because I saw a “form” while tweaking my Read Blog page. This “form” appeared after I tried to “load more posts”. Only the first full-content (and NOT excerpt) post was fine until the succeeding posts had these “forms”!
I still do NOT know how this could happen.
But because I have my alternate WordPress account with everything still set to “default”, I could always clone/mirror the Discussion Settings back to “default”!
The only three items in the Discussion Settings that are different between Business plans and Free plans are:
- Enable pop-up business cards over commenters’ Gravatars
- Enable comment likes
- E-mail me whenever
- Anyone posts a comment
- A comment is held for moderation
- Someone likes one of my posts
- Someone follows my blog
All else, like I said, are already set to “default”. I’ll have to investigate what else going on, if any.
But I have to break for another late lunch. Toodles! End of status report 1414 PST. Edited 1443 PST.
