I will try the private/public switching suggested previously.
I'm glad I found this forum lest I continued to chase this problem.
Thank you,

I can only say that it seemed to work for me...I stand to be corrected.

I would like the same functionality - to occasionally make a new post but not auto-trigger my subscribers. But in my tests, subscribers are emailed as soon as you go back into the post and change the settings from "private" to public. It may work if you mark the ENTIRE SITE private (as the hyperlinked forum indicates) but that seems like a lot of trouble ...

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but simple page updates don't trigger subscription alerts. Only newly published posts ...

An ingenious way to figure it out, raincoaster, even though it's not a basic function.

I'm so happy to hear that it works on Pages too. Thanks for returning and sharing that news with us. Bookmarking this thread too. :)

I tried one page as a test, and one for real - worked both times.

Many thanks.

What you can do is rather involved, but it does work: make those posts as Private, then after they've gone life, edit and set them as Public.

My blog features a main post each day (which all the subscribers want) but also often features a number of smaller posts afterward (which many subscribers do not want, since it fills up their email boxes).

How do I allow for email subscriptions, but designate a post to NOT get sent to subscribers? It seems like a pretty basic functionality, but for the life of me I can't figure how to do it.

Thanks!!!
