Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview
About this plugin

Let readers subscribe to get email updates whenever you publish new content.
This IS NOT a marketing plugin.
This is purely a utility plugin, allowing your readers to get simple email updates in a more privacy-respecting way. It does not create an email list that you can export in plain text or use for any purpose other than sending notifications from your site. If you’re looking for a more traditional email subscriber plugin, I recommend Subscribe2, and if you’re looking for a full-blown newsletter service, I recommend Mailchimp.
How it Works
You install and activate the plugin.
You place the [subby] shortcode somewhere on your website and invite users to subscribe/unsubscribe for updates. You can optionally customize the button label: [subby submit="Get Updates"].
When someone subscribes or unsubscribes via the form, they receive a confirmation email with a link to complete the action.
When you publish new content, confirmed subscribers receive a notification email with a link to the new post.
Subscriber emails are encrypted at rest and only shown partially in the admin ( Tools > Subscribers ).
The encryption key is derived from your existing AUTH_KEY found in your wp-config.php file.
In your admin ( Tools > Subscribers ), you can manage subscribers and configure the from name and email, which post types trigger notifications, and which categories to exclude.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
