I regularly receive support questions about misunderstandings about the setting
“Manage subscription from” that is available in Settings>MailPress>General.
Here is a reminder of how it works :
- Subscriber receives a mail from your blog in his mailbox with, at least, a link interacting with your blog (subscription confirmation, management, preview mail …).
- From his mailbox, Subscriber clicks on the link.
- When the MailPress General settings “Manage subscription from” has the following value, here is how it works :
- Default : MailPress generates a page including the current WordPress theme header and footer.
- Page template: Before choosing this option, you have to :
- Copy the page template
mailpress/mp-content/xtras/pt_MailPress.phpinto your current WordPress theme folder. - Create a page [Admin>Pages>Add new], select ‘MailPress’ as page template ["Page attributes" box], give a title and no content, save and publish .
- In settings, set the page id as the page id.
- Copy the page template
- Category template: Before choosing this option, you have to :
- Copy the category template
mailpress/mp-content/xtras/category-xx.phpinto your current WordPress theme folder. - Rename category template file
category-xx.phptocategory-99999.php[category 99999 does not need to be an existing category]. - In settings, set 99999 as the category id.
- Copy the category template
Once these settings are set or anytime you will change it, only new mails will be compatible with the new settings.

I copied the file into my WordPress theme folder and I am not seeing the theme come up as a choice. File permissions are 644. I copied the file to /wp-content/themes/. Any thoughts?
wp-content/themes/ is not your current WordPress theme folder !
thanks for the post…the premise is that i’m not an expert, of course
my problem is: the subscription managing works only if I, the administrator, have the site administration open…
like a subscriber, I don’t have any option, both in the widget box and in page form, if is the site is running normally…
any solutions?
@pluka works only if “visitor” is identified on your blog. Otherwise see appropriate link(s) in sent mails.
yes, ok
thanks a lot!
I have tried the page template step by step and nothing changes. Could you please offer some help?
1 copy mailpress\mp-content\xtras\pt_MailPress.php inside your WordPress theme folder
2 create a page with template “MailPress”
3 go to Settings => MailPress => General in Sparm “Manage subscriptions from” choose “Page Template” and give the page id, save
4 send a new mail and check the link : Manage your subscriptions
