Frequently asked questions
Can I create a newsletter subscriber in the backend of the site?
Yes. You just need to create a new user with the role of “Mail Subscriber” in Users > Add New.
How can the user unsubscribe from the newsletter?
1) The user should go to your site, enter his/her e-mail in the Subscribe Form, mark the “unsubscribe” checkbox and click the “Submit” button. 2) If everything has been done correctly, he/she will recieve a mail with a link for unsubscription. 3) If the user follows that link, he/she will be automatically unsubscribed from the newsletters.

The previously registered users can subscribe for the newsletter exactly as any other site visitor through the Subscribe Form or mark the “Subscribe for newsletters” checkbox on their Profile editing page.
