WP-EMail vs WP JV Custom

WP-EMail puts an “Email This Post” link on your posts and pages. A visitor clicking it gets a small form, fills in their name, their friend’s name and address and an optional remark, and the article goes out through wp_mail() — so it uses whatever WordPress itself is set up to send with. Every message is logged, so you can see what was sent, to whom, from which address and whether it arrived. The page title, the subject line, the HTML body, the plain text body and every message the visitor sees are templates you can edit, each with its own list of variables and a button to put the original back. Features An “Email This Post” link built from an HTML template you edit, with the envelope glyph, the wording and the post type as variables A standalone e-mail page or a popup window HTML or plain text messages, with the article whole or cut to a word count Image verification, and a minimum interval between sends, to keep the form off spammers’ lists A sortable, paginated log of every message, with totals and a one-click purge A widget and template tags for the most emailed posts and pages A block on the WP-Stats page, if you have WP-Stats installed Donations I spent most of my free time creating, updating, maintaining and supporting these plugins, if you really love my plugins and could spare me a couple of bucks, I will really appreciate it. If not feel free to use it without any obligations. Usage The plugin works as soon as it is activated. All you have to decide is where the e-mail link appears. On selected posts and pages, type the shortcode into the content: [email_link] This works in both block and classic themes, and puts the link exactly where you want it rather than on everything. On every post and page, call the template tag from your theme instead. In a classic theme, open wp-content/themes/ /index.php — or single.php, page.php, and so on — find: and add this inside the loop, where you want the link to show: Use one or the other, not both, or the link appears twice. If the link is there but clicking it gives a 404, re-save your permalinks under WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks. The plugin registers its /email/ endpoint on activation, but a site with unusual rewrite rules can need the nudge. Everything else is configured under WP-Admin -> E-Mail -> Settings, which has two tabs: Settings for the link, the form and delivery, and Templates for the eight message templates. The log of what has been sent is under WP-Admin -> E-Mail -> Manage E-Mail. Filters Use wp_email_capability to hand a screen to a capability other than the default. The logs screen is gated on manage_email and the settings screen on manage_options: add_filter( 'wp_email_capability', function ( $capability, $context ) { return 'logs' === $context ? 'edit_posts' : $capability; }, 10, 2 ); Use wp_email_form_field_values to pre-fill the form. The plugin uses it itself to fill in a logged-in visitor’s name and address: add_filter( 'wp_email_form_field_values', function ( $values ) { $values['yourremarks'] = 'Thought you would like this.'; return $values; } ); The other three are wp_email_ipaddress (the address a send is attributed to), wp_email_template_redirect (whether the plugin takes over the request for its own endpoints) and wp_email_trust_proxy (whether the usual forwarding headers may be trusted).

By default when you send any notification from your blog (including many of the plugins as well) sender is “WordPress” and the sender e-mail address is [email protected]. I wanted to have personalized sender name and e-mail address that is why I created this plugin. Then I added features to send out e-mail notifications about newly published posts to users who are interested either automatically (on publish) or manually. This plugin will enable you to Replace default [email protected] to any e-mail address Replace default e-mail from “WordPress” name to anything you want Send e-mail notifications automatically/manually to all registered users about new public posts Easily customize notification e-mail subject and content templates Re-send e-mail notifications manually as well Send notifications about password protected posts as well (password will NOT be included in notification e-mail) If you have WP JV Post Reading Groups plugin installed then entitled users can receive notifications about new private posts as well Users can opt-out if they don’t want to receive e-mails (they can choose to get all/nothing) Bulk subscribe/unsubscribe users to/from e-mail notifications (go to Users->All Users and see bulk actions) Maintain e-mail log about sent e-mail notifications Translations Hungarian – Janos Ver (last updated for plugin v2.3.1) Serbian – Andrijana Nikolic (last updated for plugin v2.2) German – Matthias Siebler (last updated for plugin v2.3.1)
