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.
