"Want less email? Modify your . " at bottom of wordpress reminder emails
-
I see “Want less email? Modify your . ” at bottom of wordpress reminder emails, is that meant to say your… account, profile .. something that is actually linked somewhere where I can unsubscribe??
Must be a bug?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That shouldn’t be a blank link. I will investigate.
In the mean time, you can manage subscriptions, including unsubscribing, by going to https://subscribe.wordpress.com/ and entering your email address. It should email you a properly formatted link.

Hang on just a second though, did you say reminder emails? What kind exactly? (WordPress.com sends all sorts of different types of email, including subscriptions which I thought you were talking about before but now I’m not so sure.)
Can you reply back with the subject line for the email where you saw the problem?

The first email I got was
“Keep it up! It’s time for your next post”
the second one was
“A lot has happened. It’s time to write about it.”
the body content is like –
“Express yourself. (And meet your goal!)
Howdy! It’s been a couple of weeks since your last post – We’re sure a lot has happened. Why don’t you write about it? It’s a great way to get back into one of the best habits you’ll ever have. Looking for inspiration? Here are some great posts by bloggers just like you: “
Nowhere can I find how to unsubscribe to these, not on https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/ or https://subscribe.wordpress.com/ so I wonder if there was a linked word at the end of the sentance, where would it send me?

Aha, yes, those are indeed different emails compared to what I was thinking of when I first replied. Sorry about that! The two links timethief and I mentioned before were for blog subscriptions, but now that you’ve posted the subject lines I can see that the emails you’re referring to are not blog subscriptions they are user goals reminders, so the links we first thought of weren’t the right ones.
I’m investigating the missing unsubscribe link for the user goals / writing prompt emails.
If possible, it would also help a ton if you could copy and paste the entire original email message for one of the messages into a http://pastebin.com/ example so I can see all the details. Your email program should have an option to see the original message, I use gmail and I know you can click the “more” arrow at the top right of messages and select the “show original” to see all the email details.

I think I found it.
1. Go to https://wordpress.com/settings/account/ and find the “Posting Goal” option.
2. Select “No goal”
3. Click the “Save Changes” buttonSorry I didn’t know about that setting before. We’re always adding new things, and I should have looked more closely!
It would still help to have a full copy of your email though. It will help me investigate why a link was missing for you in the email footer.

Thanks designsimply!
I’ve managed to change the goal to stop the emails, woop woop!
The raw email can be found at http://pastebin.com/wL8edNgc I replaced my email with (email visible only to moderators and staff) (or user=email.com) for privacy.
The bit that seems missing is
<strong>Want less email?</strong>= Modify your <a style=3D"text-decoration: underline; color: #2585B2;" href= =3D""></a>.Thanks
