Newsletter > Configuration > Paid Subcriptions

Paid Subscriptions

This is set to “No” by default.

The paid subscriptioin feature allows you to create paid mailing lists which are charged a specific price per specified interval. In other words, your subscribers on that list have to pay to continue receiving the newsletter.

When you create a mailing list in the ‘Mailing Lists’ section, you have the ability of choosing whether or not the list is a paid list. When you set the list as a paid list, you have to specify a price (currency changeable in ‘Configuration’) and an interval (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) on which the subscribers will be charged the specified price.

Currency

This is the currency of you wish to charge in. This by default is set to $ (USD). If you sell using a different currency then use the dropdown menu to select the appropriate currency. All amounts on both the front- and back-end will be presented with the specified currency symbol.

Admin Notification On Order

This is set to “Yes” by default and a notification will be sent to the administration email address when an order is placed.

Payment method

At present there are two payment options. PayPal and 2Checkout. PayPal is selected by default.

Newsletter > Configuration > Bounce Mail

Subscriber delete on Bounce

This setting takes either Yes or No value. Set it to Yes in order to delete a subscriber from your database immediately when an email to the specified subscriber has bounced back.

It depends on the ‘Bounce Count’ setting below. A subscriber won’t be deleted immediately if the bounce count is higher than 1 in the setting below.

Bounce Count

The default is set to 3. This is the number of times to bounce a subscriber before it is deleted. Must be a number 1 or more.

Admin Notify on Bounce

By setting this to Yes, the plugin will send you (the administrator) an email notification when a bounce notification has been received.

Bounce Receive Email

This is the address of the email alias  that is used to recieve the bounced email

Bounce Handling Method

There are two types Email Piping (CGI) and POP/IMAP Email Fetch. The default is Email Piping (CGI).  This is the method to use to retrieve bounced emails.

We recommend that you use the POP/IMAP email fetch method because it is automated and doesn’t require extensive setup like the email piping method.

Check Interval

This option specifies how often how often  the should mailbox be checked for bounced emails. This option will only be visible if ‘POP/IMAP Email Fetch’ is selected.

POP Host

This is the host name that is used to check the email. The POP/incoming email host name is set to localhost by default. This option will only be visible if ‘POP/IMAP Email Fetch’ is selected.

POP user/email

This the email account that the bounced emails will be sent to. You will need to change this to the appropriate email address that you use. This option will only be visible if ‘POP/IMAP Email Fetch’ is selected.

POP Password

This is the password for the email account that you use for your bounce emails. This option will only be visible if ‘POP/IMAP Email Fetch’ is selected.

POP Port

This is the POP/incoming port number to connect to. It is set to 110 by default which is the standard setting. You may need to check with your service provider if this is a different value.

Newsletter > Configuration > Email Scheduling

Email Scheduling

This is set to “No” by default. Newsletters are sent out immediately.

We highly recommend that you turn on scheduling if you are going to send to more than 100 subscribers at a time. Reason is that it is most likely not possible for your server to send out 100+ emails all at once.

Scheduling Interval

A dropdown list will allow you to to increase the scheduling interval in minutes, once a day, once a week, once a moth etc. This setting will only be visible if email scheduling is set to ‘Yes’.

Keep the interval as low as possible. We recommend ‘Every 2 Minutes’ or ‘Every 5 Minutes’. That way you can have more frequent intervals and less emails per interval.

Emails per Interval

This setting adjusts how many emails are sent out per Interval. The default is 50. It is recommended that you keep this setting below a value of 100 to avoid causing a bottle neck on your email server. This setting will only be visible if email scheduling is set to ‘Yes’.

Admin Notify on Execution

This is set to ‘No’ by default. Selecting ‘Yes’ will send a notification to the administrator’s email each time the queue is fired. It is just a simple email notifying you about the action.

Newsletters  > Configuration > Latest Posts Subscription

Posts Subscription

The default is “Off”. This setting turns on automatic sending of multiple, latest post articles combined in a single newsletter. Depending on the settings.

Email Subject

This is the subject of the email to the subscribers. You can fill in an appropriate subject header in the textbox that best suites your need.

Number of Posts

The default is 10. This is a numeric value of how many post will be used to make up the content of the newsletter. Only new posts will be sent out and each post not more than once. So if a post has been included into a latest posts subscription email once, it won’t be included again since the plugin keeps record of the posts included.

Post Categories

A list of all your Categories will appear under this section. Tick the checkbox next to each category that you want the latest content to be pulled in from the newsletter.

Exclude Posts

This is a comma separated list post IDs to exclude from the latest posts subscription email. If you do not want content taken from a certain post then fill in the post id in the text box i.e. 1,4,6. etc

Mailing List(s)

A list of all your mailing lists will be displayed in this section with a tick box next to it. Tick the mailing list(s) that you want to automate to follow the sending rules that you have set up in this section. If you have not created any additional mailing list then you will only see the “Default List” mailing list which is always predefined in the WordPress Newsletters plugin.

Sending interval

The interval at which the latest posts subscription emails will be sent out to the specified mailing list(s). The default is weekly. A drop down list will allow you to change the interval occurrence of how often automated emails are sent out. The available options are: Every 2 Minutes, Every 5 Minutes, Every 10 Minutes, Every 20 Minutes, Every 30 Minutes, Every 40 Minutes, Every 50 minutes, Once Weekly, Once Monthly, Once Hourly, Twice Daily and Once Daily.

The text box value is entered in hexadecimal and the background color of the captcha image by default is set to #FFFFFF which is White.
