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.

WP Mail Logging is the most popular plugin for logging emails sent from your WordPress site. Simply activate it and it will work immediately, no extra configuration is needed. Are your WordPress emails not being sent or delivered? Use this plugin to log all outgoing emails from your WordPress site. If there are any errors when sending the email from your site, our email logs will catch that error and display it to you. This will allow you to debug and fix your email sending issue. Did a client not receive your email? Our email logs allow you to resend any email that was sent from your site. No more lost emails! Do you just want to keep a record of all emails sent from your site? By default, WordPress and your web host do not log, store or keep track of emails sent from your website. This plugin will allow you to do just that. Our email logs will store every email that is sent from your WordPress site. You can search and view a particular email log, inspect its content or attachments, and even resend that email. What email information is logged? All emails sent from your WordPress site are logged. And here is the information that is stored: Email Subject Email Content (HTML or text) Email Attachments Email Headers (to, from, reply-to, cc, bcc, …) Error Message (in case there was an error while attempting to send the email) IP Address of originating server (can be enabled in the settings) Date and Time of the email Receiver (the TO email address) Why are my logged emails still not delivered to the inbox? There are a lot of steps that emails have to make in order to be delivered to the recipient’s inbox. When your WordPress site sends an email, there’s no guarantee it will be delivered. This is what the email’s journey looks like: WordPress creates an email WordPress passes the email to your website host and that email gets logged by our plugin The host server takes the email and sends it (SMTP or Mail Transfer Agent) Recipient server receives or blocks the email If the email is accepted, the spam filter decides if it goes to the inbox or the spam folder Recipients see the email and might open it. This plugin does not track delivery after step 2. If you have deliverability issues, we suggest installing the WP Mail SMTP plugin. WP Mail SMTP fixes WordPress email deliverability problems, you can choose between 12 email providers (Gmail, Outlook, SendLayer, Mailgun, …) to resolve your email sending issue and it’s super easy to set up. WP Mail SMTP is trusted by more than 3 million websites. Credits The plugin was created and launched in 2014 by Christian Zöller.
