What it does
Running a membership site means keeping people informed about their subscriptions. Members forget renewal dates, leave registration halfway through or stop logging in, and tracking all of that manually takes time. This add-on works inside the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin, which it requires, and handles those messages for you. You set up reminder emails tied to specific member events, and the plugin sends them when those events happen.
Each reminder is built around a trigger such as subscription activation, subscription expiry, last login or signup abandonment. You can send it right away or after a delay you choose, and you can create as many reminders as your site needs. Email tags pull member details into the message so each email reads as personal. Reminders can go to members, to site administrators or to both, which helps admins keep track of membership events as they happen.
Best for
- Membership sites running Paid Member Subscriptions
- Subscription content sites with recurring renewals
- Site admins who want alerts about membership events
Features

Instant or delayed sending
Choose whether each reminder goes out immediately when its trigger fires or after a set delay that suits your schedule.
Personalized email tags
Insert tags that fill in member details from your membership setup, so each reminder includes information specific to the person receiving it.

Reach people who started registering but did not finish, with a reminder encouraging them to complete their signup.

Remind members before their subscription renews or expires so they know what is coming and can act in time.
Last login reminders
Contact members who have not logged in for a while and invite them back to the content included in their membership.
Questions about Email Reminders
Does this work on its own or do I need another plugin?
It is an add-on for the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin, which must be on your site. The reminders rely on that plugin's subscription and member data to know when to send each email.
What events can trigger a reminder email?
Reminders can be triggered by subscription activation, subscription expiry, a member's last login and signup abandonment. You can use these to send renewal notices, expiry warnings, follow-ups for unfinished registrations and messages to inactive members.
Can I control when reminders are sent?
Yes. Each reminder can be sent instantly when its trigger happens or after a delay you set, which lets you space out messages or time them ahead of a renewal or expiration.
Can administrators get these emails too?
Yes. The plugin supports both user and admin notifications, so you can send a reminder to the member, to site administrators, or to both, depending on the event.
Is Email Reminders free?
The code of Email Reminders is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Email Reminders is this?
Version 1.1.3, released Apr 22, 2021. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Email Reminders?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Email Reminders automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
What does Email Reminders need?
Email Reminders needs Paid Member Subscriptions installed and active.
