I was getting an error 405 using IIS (v5 on win2k) along with Subscribe2. Specifically this occurred only on the widget, but not other aspects of the plugin. I could add new emails, and even send them out from the admin panel.

Only thing I could find related to this was a post about making sure PHP was set to allow POST actions. Doing that, I still had the same problem.

I fixed it by editing line 85 in the subscribe2.php in the the portion where it had the action of blank. I fixed it, by hard coding it to “index.php?page=subscribe2/subscribe2.php” which then allowed it to submit fine from the widget.

This seems to work, which is great But I was wondering if there’s something incorrect about my WP install that caused this problem to crop up. Or is it simply an issue specific to IIS? If it is an IIS issue, perhaps have it documented somewhere. I know I was racking my brains against this problem for a few days before getting it working, it may help some others out there.
