FAQ

Does this require Mailchimp or any external service?

No. Emails are sent directly from your WordPress site using your server’s mail function (wp_mail). For best deliverability we recommend also installing a free SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP or FluentSMTP and configuring DKIM/SPF for your domain.

Can I send to all users at once without selecting them one by one?

Yes. Click Send Email To All Users — it reaches every registered user regardless of how many you have, no manual selection required.

Can I filter which users receive the email?

Yes. Use the role filter dropdown (Administrators, Subscribers, Customers, etc.) or the search box to narrow down recipients before sending. The Pro version adds WooCommerce purchase history filters, membership levels, BuddyPress fields, and CSV import for external contacts.

Can I personalise emails with each user’s name?

Yes. Use [first_name], [last_name], [display_name], [user_email], and [username] in your subject and email body — each is automatically replaced with that recipient’s real information.

How does unsubscribe work?

Add [unsubscribe_link_html] or [unsubscribe_link_plain] to your email. When a recipient clicks it, they’re shown a confirmation page and added to your Unsubscribers List (under Mass Email). They’re automatically excluded from all future sends. You can re-subscribe anyone from the Unsubscribers List page at any time.

Is there a limit on how many emails I can send?

The plugin itself has no hard limit, but your hosting provider may limit how many emails your server can send per hour. For large lists we recommend the Pro version, which includes a cronjob queue with a configurable send rate so large campaigns send reliably over time.

Is the plugin GDPR friendly?

The plugin only emails existing registered users of your site and includes a working unsubscribe mechanism. You remain responsible for ensuring you have an appropriate legal basis to email your users under GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and other applicable laws.

What’s the difference between Free and Pro?

Free covers everything you need to send and manage one-off bulk emails: send to all/selected/filtered users, placeholders, and unsubscribe management. Pro adds tracking (opens/clicks), WooCommerce segmentation, scheduled sending, automation (welcome emails, bounce handling), CSV import, attachments, and email templates — see the comparison above.

The free version of the plugin is rather limited, but still has decent capabilities to select specific users for sending a formatted email to. I upgraded to the “Pro” version, though, which has tremendous capabilities for both mass emailing and newsletters. Love the templates. I had been using WP Email Users but struggled with some problems with it — the pro version of this one is SO much better.

I have over 20,000 users. You can not select all of them at once. Max is 50 per page and would have to click all per page. You know how long it would take to select all users 50 at a time. There should be an option to send an email to ALL users. Not selecting users 50 at a time.

The Plugin works fine! But it would be nice if there was a feature for sending mass mails regularly. So you can define an interval or something which triggers the same mass mail over and over. Think of it as a mass reminder!

plug in works great. Bought pro version but can’t figure out how to use pro features. Please email me. Thank you!
