EMAIL SENDING OPTIONS The biggest issue users have are: Email Spammers make successful email delivery a very complicated and specialized function. WordPress by default uses your web hosts local mail server to send all WordPress and plugin generated emails. Emails sent from a web host local mail server have poor delivery rates because they have very little or no reputation. Configuring any type of email delivery provider will improve email delivery rates. Every different Email Provider requires another plugin to configure. For example here are just a few of the available choices. Send Email via SMTP – WP SMTP Mail, WP SMPT, Easy WP SMTP Send Email via Gmail SMTP – SendPress Lite and any SMTP plugin if you know what you are doing. Send Email via Mandrill – wpMandrill Send Email via SparkPost – SparkPost Send via WordPress default ‘local mail server’ if using GoDaddy Hosting – Auto Config WordPress default Email Sending – SendPress Lite At a3rev we want users to be able to Create a Beautiful / Professional HTML Email template. Auto apply that template to all emails sent from WordPress and installed plugins. Easily configure a sending provider to get those emails delivered. Do it all with one plugin, quickly and easily. That is why we have added the Email Sending Provider Configuration Options so you can do all of that with just one plugin – WP Email Template. EMAIL FROM PLUGINS WP Email Template will not work with any plugin that: Applies it’s own HTML Email Template (WP Email Template is still applied but the 2 together will look bad). Send it’s emails via the php() function. WP Email Template is applied to all mail that goes through wp_mail() Some of the better known plugins of the 1,000’s of plugins that WP Email Template works beautifully with. Gravity Forms – see the screen shots – looks sensational with the default Gravity style. Contact Form 7 – see the screenshots Formidable Forms – both Lite and Pro Versions of that plugin WooCommerce – Version 2.3.9 and backward compatible to version 2.1.0. By default the plugin ignores WooCommerce email output – but you can choose to apply your WordPress Email Template to all Woocomerce emails to give you consistent branding across your entire site. WP e-Commerce – applies the template to every store generated email to customers and admins WP Mail SMPT – WP Email Template does not interfere with the way any WordPress or any plugin handles email output – it just applies the template to any output content. BackupBuddy – I love it when even my admin emails are branded – see the screenshots Wordfence – Branded security emails – nice.
