AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP-EMail is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Mail category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 11 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How WP-EMail works
General Usage
Under E-Mail Settings, modify the setting Method Used To Send E-Mail accordingly. If the method is wrong, no email will get sent.
You Need To Re-Generate The Permalink (WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes)
Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php (You may place it in single.php, post.php, page.php, etc also)
Find: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
Simply add this code inside the loop where you want the email link to display: if(function_exists('email_link')) { email_link(); }
If you DO NOT want the email link to appear in every post/page, DO NOT use the code above. Just use the shortcode by typing [email_link] into the selected post/page content and it will embed the email link into that post/page only.
