Descriere
The WP MailingGroup plugin allows you to run a Mailing Group, also known as a Listserv, right from your WordPress website. You can sign up your users, friends, family etc, directly from your WordPress administration area, and they can then all exchange emails via their favourite email software, no need to login to wordpress dashboard. It has very easy to use intuitive interface and advanced debugging functions. This is NOT a one-way Announcement list where only YOU can email everyone else. Its a Two-Way mailing group just like Yahoo Groups, Google Groups etc (provides most functions of those groups but not all). It can be used as a partial alternative to php List and mailman. Its a wonderful wordpress group plugin to help you and your groups stay connected! – Premium version includes message moderation and archives.
Premium version offers Email message archives where so you can see all messages sent to mailing group in these archives. Users can also see archives of their groups. Pro version also supports email moderation.

Paste the following command into the cron script manager on your server:
wget http://www.YOUR_SITE.com/wp-cron.php
On some systems, you may need to use a curl function instead:

Întrebări frecvente
-
How many subscribers can I have in the mailing group?
-
You can add up to 30 subscribers in ONE mailing group using the free plugin.
-
Emails are not being sent to mailing group members, how to know what is wrong?
-
The plugin has a page called ‘Troubleshooting’. This page will show you latest errors for IMAP/POP3 connection for each group and also any email sending errors.
-
Can I create my own customised messages to send to prospective subscribers?
-
Yes, you can: go to Mailing Group Manager > General Settings, and select the Custom Messages tab. There you can input your custom message (using the listed variables, if you are technical!).
You can also go to Mailing Group Manager > Subscription Requests, and click the message icon next to a subscription request. This opens up a popup window where you can type in a custom message, and check the box at the bottom that allows you to save it for repeated use. -
If you do not have cron access, then you will have to rely on visitors to your site to trigger the in-built WP-cron, which checks for new messages and distributes them to the list of subscribers. For example, if you have a visitor on average every 10 minutes, then the Mailing Group messages will be received and sent every 10 minutes. If you have Cron access, you can set a higher frequency of 2 minutes to keep the Mailing Group updated more often (see Installation instructions above), but without cron access, it may just run more slowly.
-
In my plain text emails, there are not line breaks, all text is on one line, what to do?
-
When some subscribers use HTML email format and some use plain text email format, the line breaks in emails do not appear correctly, to fix this you can install a plugin which converts all emails to HTML format, Read the instructions at https://www.wpmailinggroup.com/faq/strange-characters-in-emails/
