Is there a way to stop new blog post notifications?

Thanks for the reply Mario.

I can’t express how disappointing this is. I’ve been a huge cheerleader for Wix over WordPress BUT this is where we have a problem. You have made an assumption (email all members every time a new blog post is made) and we literally have no way to stop it from happening. I don’t understand why you provide something as powerful as Corvid but even that can’t change this behavior. Even if the answer was a programmatic solution, that’s fine - not everything needs to be part of the Wix Admin UI.

Unfortunately we’re now potentially forced to go back to WP because your blog has become unusable for us.

Please consider one of the following:

  1. Blog settings: extend the “do not email subscribers” option to members. Members are technically subscribers.
  2. Blog settings: add a separate “do not email members” option.
  3. Give us programmatic access to unsubscribe a member from blog notifications.

I’m sure Wix has evolved and maybe this was just overlooked as part of the evolution but you can’t hope to become a true replacement for WordPress when you make assumptions about how people will use the platform AND NOT provide us with a way to override your assumption.

We can not email members every time we post to the blog.
