what more info do you need.

What version for Zen Cart? What version Newsletter-only you are trying? Was the query backup before the error?

I think I was working on a higher version before my mind block... both are the installer versions and template changes..

Designed for ZC1.5.7 and tested only with php7.4 and with Newsletter-only v3.1 [https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=29

not sure what you mean by backup.. i have about 5 or 6 databases in my cpanel. when I upgrade my store..I just fill in the new database.. less errors that way for me anyway.
(You are presently using: v1.5.7c) zencart'

and the newsletter plugin is the latest on in the plugins.

Dave, are you still engaged with Zen Cart? There are a bunch of issues with the new version as have been noted here; not sure if we need to recommend the use of the prior version or not.

Here are a couple of logs:

Also the images in admin are not found when running the subscription_manager.php page.

For those using the prior version, there's a bug - if you had the plugin installed from before, the NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_HEADER config had the values 'on' and 'off' (not 'true' or 'false') so you'd have to update the code or update the database. The code checks for this value are inconsistent - ./includes/modules/bootstrap/subscribe_header.php checks for 'on' and the others check true/false so check carefully.

I'll also note that One-Page Checkout's "registered customers" feature provides a similar (and supported) means for customers to 'register' without providing address details ... at least until their first order.
