Pingbacks are automatic notifications added (as a kind of comment) to posts you link to in your articles. Whether a visitor is reading something way back in your archives or your most recent post, the pingbacks makes sure she can easily find any follow ups.
This is great for keeping related articles together, but private blogs are forced to disable Pingbacks to avoid notifying other sites when linking to them!
“Only Self Pings” solves this by only allowing pings to your own site (and whatever URLs you add to the whitelist).

Let readers subscribe to get email updates whenever you publish new content.
This IS NOT a marketing plugin.
This is purely a utility plugin, allowing your readers to get simple email updates in a more privacy-respecting way. It does not create an email list that you can export in plain text or use for any purpose other than sending notifications from your site. If you’re looking for a more traditional email subscriber plugin, I recommend <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/subscribe2/" rel="ugc">Subscribe2</a>, and if you’re looking for a full-blown newsletter service, I recommend <a href="https://mailchimp.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Mailchimp</a>.
<h4>How it Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>You install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>You place the <code>[subby]</code> shortcode somewhere on your website and invite users to subscribe/unsubscribe for updates. You can optionally customize the button label: <code>[subby submit="Get Updates"]</code>.</li>
<li>When someone subscribes or unsubscribes via the form, they receive a confirmation email with a link to complete the action.</li>
<li>When you publish new content, confirmed subscribers receive a notification email with a link to the new post.</li>
<li>Subscriber emails are encrypted at rest and only shown partially in the admin (Tools > Subscribers).</li>
<li>The encryption key is derived from your existing <code>AUTH_KEY</code> found in your wp-config.php file.</li>
<li>In your admin (Tools > Subscribers), you can manage subscribers and configure the from name and email, which post types trigger notifications, and which categories to exclude.</li>
</ol>
